Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got external hemorrhoid, little flare up no bleeding but condition is not worst yet. I heard that Alo-vera jel from organic plant would be effective to shrink and teat the condition? I need advice should I start using Alo-vera from real oargnic plant? Could you also tell how many time I should use this for how long?
Hello, Thanks for the query. Aloe vera gel has been used as an application on external hemorrhoids on a regular basis. Because of its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, the application and massage (preferably twice a day) helps reduce the irritation and size of the lesions. You may use the gel for about two or three weeks till the shrinkage occurs.The duration can not be exactly specified. While this remedy is used it is better to observe all the necessary precautions like taking less spicy food, increasing intake of green leafy vegetables,fruits and plenty fluids should be continued.Thanks.
