This swelling is caused by constipation, poor diet, and by too much pressure on your anus.

5. Sitz bath

The last and in my opinion the best home hemorrhoid treatment option is the sitz bath. The sitz bath will provide you with instant relieve from the pain and itching that comes with swollen hemorrhoids. A sitz bath is a plastic bowl that goes over the toilet bowl and has a cut in it so the warm water in it can flow out of the plastic bowl. This allows you to add more hot water to the sitz bath and the over flow water goes into the toilet bowl. Combining this treatment with other treatments  is the most effective way to give yourself instant relieve from all of the irritation and itching that comes with hemorrhoid troubles.

Regardless of which method you choose remember the best treatment is to watch your diet and to exercise on a regular basis. If you follow the right diet and exercise regularly you should have no problem keeping your hemorrhoids in line!
