Hemorrhoids - Symptoms, Reasons, and Cures

Anyone who has suffered from internal or external hemorrhoids knows how annoying and uncomfortable they can be.

Blood on your toilet paper? Itching in your anus area? Pain during constipation? All of these are likely signs that you may have hemorrhoids and it's no laughing matter – because although common, they can be irritating and embarrassing.

External are painful and embarrassing. There comes a point when you think they are never going to go away - and it's only been a few hours!

Internal are scary and surprising. No one wants to see blood in their stools. And unfortunately TV has made us think the worst when we see it although it is commonly a hemorrhoid.

The biggest thing I find that helps is staying hydrated. In fact within a day of drinking tons of water I notice an improvement. But there's more to it to keep them away and help them disappear.

In the more severe stages, they can fall out like a lump outside your bottom! There are common mistakes that many people make which help earn themselves the pleasure of hemorrhoids.

Even if you have these already, avoiding the following 3 mistakes can start relieving the problem gradually.

Mistake #1: Eating too much processed food

This can be a toughie for some people. However, it's known that processed foods create harder stool and troubles in digestion. This creates constipation and other issues which can lead to hemorrhoids. The key here, especially when you are suffering and trying to cure hemorrhoids, is to lower your intake of processed sugars and foods.

Mistake #2: Sedentary lifestyle

A lot of long term sitting can create additional pressure on the bottom area and this invokes the perfect environment for a hemorrhoid to occur if combined with a sharp force such as constipation or pregnancy (in women). The solution is to make sure you do not sit for over 1 hour at a time, and remember to do stretches that promote healthy blood flow.

Mistake #3: Intake of processed medication and creams

This creates the same potential problem as processed foods. Even many of the fiber supplements contain processed and artificial elements that can create side-effects elsewhere… and lastly they are not even attacking the root of the problem here.

The other downside of these creams which do no benefit is that they waste one's time and the hemorrhoid can get worse over time if the root problem is not reversed.

So try to avoid these 3 mistakes and you will not be contributing to any worsening of hemorrhoids. It's very important to understand these in our modern lifestyle of sedentary office work and processed, convenient diets.

I seriously recommend checking out Hemorrhoids Saviour.

There's tons of information and that can help you.

I know going to the doctor can be embarrassing and the next best thing is learning from people who have had them and conquered them. They are the ones that know what works and what doesn't because - believe me - when you have them you figure it out pretty fast.
