Causes and Treatment for Hemorrhoids
Most cases of hemorrhoids are mild and temporary – as soon as you take certain measures, the tissues begin to heal, and all that you need to do is ensure that the condition does not recur. Hemorrhoids are basically caused when too much stress is put on the tissues in the anal area. This affects the veins in this area too, and the veins and tissues swell up and become painful.
Sometimes there may also be itching and burning, and in some cases bleeding as well.
The most common cause of stress on the tissues in the anal area is excessive straining during bowel movements, which in turn is usually because of chronic constipation, and sometimes, on the other hand, because of chronic diarrhea. If either of these sounds familiar to you, there is quite a simple solution – improving your diet and lifestyle.
For your bowels to function normally, you need to get plenty of water and plenty of fiber. Drink around 10 glasses of water a day and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. A daily walk should also help your body to function better, and in no time, you will find your bowel movements becoming more normal and the hemorrhoids disappearing.
If your hemorrhoids are extremely painful and particularly if they are accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding, or if they are caused by other factors such as hypertension or pregnancy, it will probably be better for you to visit a doctor for treatment.
