Hemroids is also called piles, are enlarged veins inside the rectum (internal hemroids) or around the anus (external hemroids).

Among the main factors that contribute to its onset is mentioned:

Inheritance: If one of the parents has hemorrhoids, it’s more likely that your son or daughter is going to develop in his adult life; If both parents have them, this is an almost certain result.

Constipation: The difficulty in passing stool creates pressure and possibly damage to the veins in the anal canal and rectum.

Diet low in fiber: The highly refined food (white flour products, sugar, foods with high content of fat and protein and low in complex carbohydrates) are on a diet deficient in fiber content, which can lead to constipation and hemroids.

Obesity: The extra weight puts more pressure on the veins, check here home remedies for obesity.

Laxatives: Excessive use of these products is a major cause of constipation, and as such, can also be considered as a major factor in the development of hemroids.

Pregnancy: As the fetus grows, it puts extra pressure on the rectal area. The pregnancy-related hemorrhoids usually disappear after the baby is born, unless they had been before.

The most common symptoms of hemorrhoids are:

• Itching
• Feeling of incomplete defecation.
• Discharge of mucus from the anus.
• Pain, that, in acute cases, is perceived as an intense burning or stinging sensation that interfere with daily activities (discomfort when sitting, rubbing the clothing, etc..) especially in external hemorrhoids.
• hemorrhoids prolapse (a lump coming from inside the anus to defecate and then can withdraw or be pushed inward with a finger).

Recommendations:

Eating foods that contain fiber: as it facilitates the passage of the stool to make it softer. It is recommended the consumption of fruits such as pears, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, prunes and green figs. Also recommended to eat whole-grain breads and not white breads.

Drink plenty of fluids: You need to drink plenty of water (at least eight large glasses) to properly maintain the digestive process.

Answer the call of nature: As soon you want to evacuate, it is necessary to do so, since as more time passes excrement in the lower part of the digestive tract, there are chances of losing moisture, which hardens and dries to excrement.

Don’t strive too much on the toilet: It is not recommended to spend more time on the toilet than is necessary for defecating. Once the intestines already moved, it is not prudent to try to move more.

Do not use laxatives: Prolonged use of these products can cause permanent malfunction of the intestines, as well as intense irritation in the anal area. It is also necessary to prevent mineral oil, because it can interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients such as vitamin A.

Walk: Exercise, such as walking regularly, helps the digestive process run more efficiently.

Keep the area clean: We recommend keeping rectal area clean all the time. The residual stool can irritate the skin, but also irritates the hard wipe dry with toilet paper. You need to gently rinse the area with running water while sitting on the toilet. Then pat the area dry (do not rub). Avoid using colored toilet paper or scented because it irritates the area.

Rinse well: Soap residue can also irritate the area, for that reason, you need to ensure completely rinse the anal area after bathing or showering.

Place a pillow on the seat: If the job requires sitting all day, we recommend the use of a pillow-shaped of donuts or doughnut in order to remove pressure to the sensitive area. However, it is important to get up and walk when ever possible.

Slimming: If you are overweight, it is advisable to try and lose weight and approach the normal range according to the height and build.

Avoid highly seasoned foods or too spicy.

Avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Avoid sitting or standing for long.

See your doctor: if you suffer from bleeding from the anus especially if you have more than 40 years, it can be a sign of a more serious disorder.
