Diet plays an important role in whether a person gets hemorrhoids.  High fiber diets increase "bulk" and allows your solid waste to move through easily. Low fiber diets tend to constipate you, then you strain, and the straining will provoke hemorrhoids.\n\nDrinking plenty of water will help keep your solid waste soft!\n\nToo much sitting, not just on the toilet will also provoke them.  Good exercise helps.  Hemorrhoids are related to varicose veins, and exercise helps keep varicose veins at bay.\n\nIf they are really bad, there are surgical and some less invasive things your doctor can do.

I couldn't say what your causes are, but it happens to me when I am anemic and/or have low blood sugar.  It wouldn't hurt for you to be sure to eat regularly and take an iron supplement (especially if you are a menstruating female).  Geritol Tonic is what I drink (one sip a day).

Hemorrhoids are swollen but normally present blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum that stretch under pressure. Hemorrhoids are very similar to varicose veins in the legs. The increased pressure and swelling may result from straining to move the bowel. Factors contributing to hemorrhoids are: pregnancy, heredity, aging, and chronic constipation or diarrhea. \n\nHemorrhoids may occur inside the anus (internal) or under the skin around the anus (external). An internal hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus outside the body. This is called a protruding hemorrhoid.\n\nSymptoms of Hemorrhoids?\nThere are many symptoms and everyone with hemorrhoids will not experience all of the symptoms. Some of the symptoms are: bright red blood covering the stool, painful swelling around the anus, a hard lump around the anus, fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or irritation and itching (pruritus ani). Excessive straining, rubbing or cleaning the anus may worsen symptoms.\n\nWhat Causes Hemorrhoids?\nHemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure in the rectum, forcing blood to stretch and bulge the walls of the veins. Sometimes the pressure ruptures the veins.\n\nAre Hemorrhoids Dangerous?\nNo. Hemorrhoids usually are not dangerous or life threatening. In most cases, the symptoms of hemorrhoids will only last a few days. Not every one with hemorrhoids will experience symptoms.\n\nAre Hemorrhoids Common?\nYes. Hemorrhoids affect both men and women. About half of the population will have hemorrhoids by age 50. Hemorrhoids are also common among pregnant women. Hemorrhoids are common among pregnant women because the pressure of the fetus in the abdomen, as well as hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, cause the hemorrhoidal vessels to enlarge. These vessels are also placed under severe pressure during childbirth. For most women, hemorrhoids caused by pregnancy are a temporary problem and given the right care will go away.\n\nHow Are Hemorrhoids Diagnosed? \nHemorrhoids are diagnosed by a doctor. The doctor will examine the anus, and rectum and look for swollen blood vessels. A digital rectal exam will also be performed. The doctor may also examine the patient with an anoscope, or a proctoscope. An anoscope is a lighted tube useful for viewing internal hemorrhoids. A proctoscope, is used to examine the entire rectum.\n\nCan Hemorrhoids be Treated?\nYes. Medical treatment of hemorrhoids initially is aimed at relieving symptoms. Symptoms can be reduced by: sitting in a a warm tub, Ice packs (to help reduce swelling), usage of a hemorrhoidal cream. Increasing fiber and fluids in the diet will also help (makes softer stool).\n\nIn some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated surgically. The doctor will shrink and destroy the hemorrhoidal tissue. \n\nCan Hemorrhoids Prevented? \nYes. The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, with little straining.

This question popped up under "heart disease".  Do you have issues with your heart?\nI have a mechanical mitral valve and even tho it's rare, mine chews up red blood cells.  Iron supplements do help if you can take them.  Start slow and build up.  Always take with food.\nEatting foods high in iron... liver, spinach- the darker the green the higher the iron. \nLow iron definately causes inertia and weakness.  \nYour doctor that ordered the test should have made recommendations.  I need to go in at least once a year for a "fill-up".\nYour cholestrol is not helping.  Eat oatmeal.  Take your pills.  Talk to your doctor.  It is nothing to trifle with.\nIf a car is outta oil, it don't run- same applies to you.

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?
