Constipation is Generally the Cause of Hemorrhoids

---

If you have infrequently bowel movements or have to strain to have them, then this sets up the conditions to create hemorrhoids.  When you strain to have a bowel movement, you cause blood to congest in the rectum.  This blood congestion causes an increase in pressure in the abdomen and rectum veins and over time these veins balloon out, turning into hemorrhoids.  Pressure in the abdomen obstructs the return of blood from the rectum.

Next, You Need to Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

---

Eat the fruits as snacks before lunch, dinner or after dinner.  Eat at least 3 fruit a day and more if you can.  Also eat vegetable with lunch and dinner.  Raw vegetables are best and if you cook them, cook them lightly.  Cooking vegetables diminishes the value of their fiber.

• The first step in dealing with your hemorrhoids is to stop straining to have a bowel movement.
• You can do this by increasing your fiber intake.
• It is always best to use natural fiber.
• When you used un-natural fiber, which is found in drugstore laxatives, you can become addicted to them.
• Use cereal in the morning that has wheat ban or oat bran.
• You can add wheat germ to get more fiber and to get the B-vitamin.

Any activity that puts excess pressure on the abdomen and rectum veins can cause hemorrhoids.  If you are pregnant, or if you sneeze or cough frequently, exercise too much, lift weights, or stand or sit too long, these conditions can lead to hemorrhoids.  If you couple these conditions with a poor diet, then you increase the probability of hemorrhoids.  Look at these various activities you do and make adjustments to their frequency.

Not All Anal Irritations are Hemorrhoids

---

Some could be fissures, some could be an abscess or fistula, some could be just an itch. Hemorrhoids could occur inside the anus or just outside. All they are, happen to be blood vessels in this area that swell up. Though they are not dangerous, they could be uncomfortable or painful.

Hemorrhoids as Such are Not Harmful

---

Sometimes, it comes on with age. If it is a problem that is due to constipation, the hemorrhoids shrink back to normal once the problem is taken care of. Pregnancy very often causes this condition. The pressure that is exerted on the rectum by the growing fetus usually causes the blood vessels to swell. In most cases, the condition subsides shortly after the baby is born. There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Hemorrhoids. Don't try counting it!

Why do blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum swell up and cause this condition? This could be due to a variety of reasons from aging and constipation to pregnancy and a displaced uterus. The swelling could be right inside the anus or just outside, under the skin. Sometimes, there are absolutely no symptoms. Sometimes, it can swell up a lot and be painful. This happens with an internal hemorrhoid when it swells up and protrudes outside the rectum. It could happen with an external one when there is a hard lump or clot formed under the skin outside. Whether it is a protruding internal hemorrhoid or a thrombosed internal one, it can be quite uncomfortable and medical attention should be sought at once.

Just in case there is no pain or discomfort, how do you know you have hemorrhoids? In most cases, there is bleeding and any blood in the stools or toilet tissue should immediately be referred to a doctor so he can diagnose the condition. You need to have this checked to rule out the possibility of intestinal bleeding as sometimes, this is a symptom of colon cancer. A doctor normally would put you through a physical examination which involves probing the area with his gloved hand.  This, while being a bit uncomfortable, maybe embarrassing, is not painful as doctors use lubrication on their gloves. He might ask to you go in for further tests like examination with an anoscope or a proctoscope, which are basically instruments meant to view the swelling more clearly. If he suspects that the bleeding could be due to problems in the intestine, he might ask you to go through a colonoscopy or a sigmoidoscopy. Here, tubes are inserted into the intestine through the rectum in order to view the whole colon, or just the lower part of the colon as the case may be.
