Hemorrhoid Home Remedy

The best way to treat this problem is make dietary changes. The most important thing to make hemorrhoids go away is to soften the stool and have regular bowel movements. Regular bowel movements are considered to be at least twice per day with little or no straining on your part.


To achieve this, it is important to add plenty of quality fiber to your diet. This means, eating whole wheat bread and things like oatmeal or wheat bran cereal with plenty of fruit and vegetables. Avoid processed food and anything made from refined flour or sugar. Drink plenty of water to help move things long and soften the stool. Of course, drinking plenty of water has many other benefits as well. If you can, get out and walk at least once a day for thirty minutes as this will help move things along in your intestines. It is very important to relax when having a bowel movement and not strain at all. It should only take 5 to 8 minutes to completely empty your bowels with no straining. To relieve some of the discomfort while you are waiting for the dietary changes to take effect, apply petroleum jelly to the anal area. This will offer immediate relief for the problem.
