Top 10 Causes of Hemorrhoids - Part 1

As you probably know already hemorrhoids are a pain in the butt, I know...it's been done to death! Not only can it cause extreme discomfort and pain it can make going about your daily routine an unforgiving task. Not that it is any consolation but you are definitely not alone in your suffering as hemorrhoids is one of the most common ailments, particularly to those living in the western world. Anyway, without waffling on too much here are the ten most common causes of hemorrhoids in no particular order.

1. Straining When Passing a Stool

On occasions we may get hemorrhoids due to straining when passing a stool or simply spending too long trying to do so. This may be because of constipation or diarrhea but sometimes we are simply rushing for whatever reason and we believe that straining will complete the necessary more quickly!

2. Consistently Putting Off a Bowel Movement

We've all been there, we're stuck somewhere that hasn't got facilities and we need to go to the toilet but we have to hold on until we either get home or get somewhere where there is a bathroom we can use. Unfortunately, this happens every now and then but if you put yourself in the position where this happens regularly then you are asking for trouble. Your large bowel is specifically designed to absorb water from your stool as it passes through, if your stool remains in the bowel longer than it should it is literally sucked dry and hardens making it harder to pass which in turn can cause hemorrhoids.

3. Your Diet Stinks!

Diet should really be at the top of this list as it's the number 1 factor in whether or not we get hemorrhoids. A good diet will encourage regular bowel movements and consistently soft stools. A diet consisting of processed foods containing high amounts of sugar, carbohydrates lacking in fiber, refined flour and animal proteins are simply screaming 'come on hemorrhoids!'

4. Your Genes

There are certain unfortunate individuals for whom it doesn't really matter what they do or eat, getting hemorrhoids is simply unavoidable. These people have inherited weak vein walls in their bowel that are prone to hemorrhoids.

5. There is More Than One Bump Associated With a Pregnancy!

Pregnant women will often suffer from hemorrhoids, understandable when you consider the extra pressures placed upon the lower body regions. The final months of pregnancy when a woman is at her heaviest are obviously those when hemorrhoids are more frequent. Even women who have managed to avoid hemorrhoids throughout their pregnancy may succumb at the final hurdle when the pressures and straining involved in given birth often lead to hemorrhoids.

How to Get Rid of Hemorrhoids - Some Advice that Will Help

There's no easy way to say it: hemorrhoids hurt. If you suffer from them, you want relief right away, and if you're at risk of getting them, then you want to know how to get rid of them as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Fortunately, this post is full of advice on how to deal with and how to get rid of hemorrhoids or alternatively you can visit http://hemorrhoids.mrgoodhealth.com/how-to-get-rid-of-hemorrhoids/ for much more in depth information.

Care must be taken when using and applying hemorrhoid products that utilize local anesthetics in their ingredients. Although these anesthetics can do a great job of providing temporary relief from pain and soothing of any stinging sensations, they can also have a detrimental side. There is a potential for such ingredients to cause allergic reactions, and as the application of such medication is usually in the perianal area, this type of irritation can certainly make a bad situation a hell of a lot worse! Should you experience an increase in hemorrhoid symptoms, you need to stop using whatever product you were using with immediate effect.

As an alternative cure for your external hemorrhoids, try yarrow tea. Yarrow tea is becoming easier to find as most local health food shops now stock it. Application couldn't be easier, simply brew the tea for 30 minutes or until it is very strong then apply the tea directly onto the hemorrhoid using a soaked cotton ball or similar.

For those of you who are currently suffering with hemorrhoids, either internal or external, wiping with dry toilet paper should always be avoided. If possible use moist wipes containing aloe vera, or any similar type of medicated wipe. Using dry toilet paper not only aggravates the already inflamed area it can also leave residue that irritates this overly sensitive area.

Do you want fast and effective relief from your hemorrhoids but do not want it using purchased medication? Turn to your garden for help! If you're fortunate enough to have an aloe vera plant either in your home or in your garden you have a ready made, fast acting, pain reliever that will provide an effective solution to hemorrhoid associated pain. There is no difficult extraction process just snap off a leaf and apply the sap from it directly onto the affected area. You will experience an immediate soothing sensation and any inflammation will be drastically reduced.

Broccoli is great for hemorrhoids because it contains a lot of fiber. Broccoli with purge your body of toxins, improving overall health. A dinner with rich meat, should have broccoli incorporated as a side dish.

If you've a hemorrhoid problem, you might want to think about using petroleum jelly to your anus before trying to go to the toilet. This can make the passage of hard stools a lot easier and will help to avoid making the hemorrhoids you already have worse and avoid any more from being created.

Lifting heavy objects can be a factor in the development of hemorrhoids. Any strain you place on your body can be the same as straining to move your bowels. If lifting heavy objects is seemingly unavoidable and it causes you to suffer with recurring hemorrhoids, then you will have to find a way to avoid this type of lifting.

Do not spend too much time on the toilet waiting for a bowel movement to happen. It will only happen when your body is ready to make it happen. Sitting on the toilet reading a book for an hour is not going to help at all. Only try to go when you have the strong urge to go.

If you suffer from hemorrhoids, you should ensure that you have adequate levels of iron in your diet and if not top up with iron supplements. Iron is a very important mineral and one of the things it helps with is softening your stools, this obviously helps avoid constipation and lessens the chance of hemorrhoids. If you do need to take iron supplements do so periodically, it is better to space your intake out over the course of a day rather than all at once.
