What makes you think you have hemorrhoids? It is an amazing fact that most people haven't the slightest idea what is wrong with them when they are suffering from hemorrhoids and because the symptoms are embarrassing then it is very difficult to ask friends and family for advice. The most common hemorrhoid symptoms are pain when going to the toilet, a sore, itchy area just outside your anus or blood in your stools or on the paper when you wipe yourself - it's hard enough to type about it, never mind talk about it!

Right, so you're pretty sure now that you've got hemorrhoids. The next question is what type are they? Are they internal or external hemorrhoids? Internal ones are likely to hurt when you are passing a motion (before it comes out) and often bleed - showing up either as blood in your stools or blood on the paper. External hemorrhoids are a smallish lump at the entrance to your anus which is very sore to touch and can hurt or itch when your clothes come in contact with it. You will be desperate to find some kind of hemorrhoid cure to give you relief.

The good news is that it isn't too hard to deal with hemorrhoids. You can choose between using a natural remedy or medical remedies. If you choose medical help then your options will range from creams to surgery depending on the severity of the hemorrhoids. Sometimes it can be very hard to heal after surgery as this isn't an area which heals easily because of the constant demands made on it. The other problem with a medical solution is that you have to give up your privacy. If you prefer not to have the invasion and embarrassment of a medical solution, then a natural cure may be your best option.
