Sometimes, home remedies such as sitz baths can help get the blood moving and alleviate the clot and the pain. By drawing a few inches of water as hot as you can stand in the bathtub, and sitting for about twenty minutes, three or four times a day, you might get some relief. Alternating by sitting on a towel wrapped ice pack can help the inflammation and swelling while the blood gets moving.

Also, taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help get the blood moving too, although ibuprofen has anti-inflammatory action which would be more beneficial between the two. Narcotic painkillers are not recommended because they can cause constipation, and that would just cause additional pressure or stress on the area. If home remedies don’t work, you will need to plan on having surgical procedures done by the doctor.

Normally, besides the small incision to remove the blood clot, more serious cases may involve total removal of the hemorrhoid, although this is normally chosen as a last resort. No matter what method, an external thrombosed hemorrhoid will need to be dealt with, as in extreme cases the blood clot can lead to gangrene over a prolonged period of time.

Preventing hemorrhoids from forming is the best way to avoid an external thrombosed hemorrhoid, and a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, plenty of water and reasonable exercise is the best way to prevent them, besides avoiding strains and pressure on the area from obesity, sedentary lifestyles and chronic constipation.

Other things you can remember is to not sit on the toilet for long periods of time, but take a bowel movement when you first feel the urge to eliminate it from drying out and becoming harder to pass. Also, eliminate anything that might irritate the area such as over-wiping, laundry detergents that contain fragrances and dyes, and wear loose fitting underwear or clothing to keep circulation free-flowing.

If you are prone to hemorrhoids, it is highly possible you may have at least one turn into an external thrombosed hemorrhoid, and treating it quickly by knowing symptoms and options is important. The longer you wait to do something about it, the more painful and serious it can become.

Pregnant women are prone to hemorrhoids, but often they don’t recur as long as the pregnancy weight is lost, and the mother goes back to an active lifestyle that involves a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of fluids and fiber.

These are some things to keep in mind when dealing with hemorrhoids, whether they become strangulated or thrombosed or not. The easiest cure is prevention in the case of external thrombosed hemorrhoids, and acting quickly once you suspect you might have one.
