Introduction

Hemorrhoids are a common condition that affects many individuals, often leading to symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and discomfort during bowel movements. Given its prevalence, people seek treatments that are not only effective but also convenient.

Oral treatments like Diosmin + Hesperidin (Daflon® 1000)  offer a reliable solution for managing hemorrhoids. These medications relieve symptoms and address the underlying causes of the condition, making them an excellent option for those seeking long-term comfort and recovery.

In this article, we’ll delve into how effective oral treatments for hemorrhoids—exploring their various types, and discuss how they can help alleviate and manage symptoms.

Types of Oral Treatments for Hemorrhoids

Understanding the different types of oral treatments for hemorrhoids¹ is key to choosing the right option, understanding how they work, and setting realistic expectations for treatment. With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions and feel more confident in managing your symptoms.

Phlebotonics

Phlebotonics² are medications designed to improve blood circulation and treat vein-related conditions like varicose veins and hemorrhoids. They are especially helpful for people with mild to moderate hemorrhoid symptoms.

These medications can reduce pain, bleeding, and discomfort, making them a good option for managing hemorrhoidal symptoms and easing everyday activities by reducing pressure and swelling.

Phlebotonics works by strengthening blood vessel walls, preventing blood from pooling, and reducing swelling and inflammation. They also help improve blood flow toward the heart, which alleviates venous issues.

Fiber Supplements

Fiber supplements³  are effective for managing hemorrhoids by relieving symptoms and preventing the condition from worsening.

These supplements increase stool bulk, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass, which helps reduce the need to strain—a common cause of hemorrhoids. They also help maintain regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, which can contribute to hemorrhoid development.

Before starting any supplement, consult your healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right choice for you.

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs⁴ are commonly used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever by blocking enzymes that produce prostaglandins, chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation.

Many NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin, are available over-the-counter and can offer temporary relief from pain and swelling.

While effective, long-term use of NSAIDs may cause gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers or bleeding. If you have a history of gastrointestinal problems, use these medications as directed and consult your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Always follow recommended dosages and avoid prolonged use without medical guidance.
