Insufficient hydration (caused by not drinking enough water, or by drinking too much diuretic liquid such as coffee or cola) can cause a hard stool, which can lead to hemorrhoidal irritation. An excess of lactic acid in the stool, a product of excessive consumption of milk products such as cheese, can cause irritation and a reduction of consumption can bring relief. Vitamin E deficiency is also a common cause. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause diarrhea which in turn can cause hemorrhoidal irritation. Oriental Medicine practitioners often warn against consuming excessive spicy & greasy foods when hemorroids flare up.\n\nPrevention of hemorrhoids includes drinking more fluids, eating more dietary fiber, exercising, practicing better posture, and reducing bowel movement strain and time. Hemorrhoid sufferers should avoid using laxatives and should strictly limit time straining during bowel movement. Wearing tight clothing and underwear will also contribute to irritation and poor muscle tone in the region and promote hemorrhoid development. Some sufferers report a more comfortable experience without underwear or wearing only very lightweight panties, etc.\n\nStraining can be lessened by defecating in a standing position, knees slightly bent. This position seems to use the muscles of the abdomen to expel feces preventing a strain on the anus. Fluids emitted by the intestinal tract may contain irritants that may increase the fissures associated with hemorrhoids. Washing the anus with cool water and soap may reduce the swelling and increase blood supply for quicker healing and may remove irritating fluid.\n\nfor more go please to a doctor

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.

Can 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\nWhat are Hemorrhoids?\nHemorrhoids 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 Prevented? \nYes. The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, with little straining.\n  \n \n\n\n\n\n™

I have Crohn's (13 years of 20) and my gastro has always told me to eat whatever i can tolerate. excluding corn and other hulled veggies. smoothies are the best thing.you can put supplements and such. avoid lots of orange juice though. it'll really cause diarrhea. of everything i've tried, smoothies have been the easiest on my guts. like the last poster said, avoid lots of seeds(strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, black/blueberries)they do not digest. there are so many recipes and you can buy them pre-made. it's something easy that you won't get burnt out on. also, while having a flare up, don't eat raw fruits and vegetables, they are incredibly hard to digest. owww! if you want your 5 a day, cook them down to mush and then chew it very well. or if you can handle it try v8- although it's rather acidic, and your bowel movements will be red. just keep that in mind so you don't panic when you go to flush and see red. hope this helps.

Eat a high fiber diet EXCEPT when you are having a flare-up, then avoid fiber like the plague. You should also regularly drink Ensure shakes because it digests in the upper part of your small intestine(which isn't diseased and can actually absorb the nutrients.)

You can go to a general surgeon or a colon and rectal surgeon for Hemorrhoids. \n\nRubber Band trick may work; however it is not recommended  because of the chances of infection and other possible complications.\n\nThe surgery for hemorrhoids is very simple and done on an outpatient basis. Since it is a very important and sensitive anatomical area, any "personal" treatment like rubber band etc is NOT recommended.

Constipation is when you can't have a bowel movement (go to the bathroom).  Certain foods and stress can bind you up, so its good to always make sure to have a lot of fiber in your diet and drink a lot of water.  Vegetables and fruits are high in fiber.  Or you can buy products like Metamucil that will help you add fiber to your diet.  High fiber in a diet seems to be associated with a healthier gastointestinal tract, and with reducing rectal cancers, although science is still researching this.

Take colon cleansers. Food with high fiber in it. Phsyllum husks and things of that nature come in capsules and help as well.

Piles is simply hemorrhoids (varicose veins in the anus).  If they are caused by constipation, increase your roughage (fiber, green vegies, fruit, cereal) and fluid intake.  Also, if caused by constipation, do not strain when going to the bathroom.  \n\nIf your hemorrhoids are minor, you can treat them with cream available in any drugstore.  If serious, you may have to have surgery (a hemorrhoidectomy) to remove them.  They can also be treated with rubber bands or injections.\n\nBe sure to see a doctor.  You need to be certain that the bleeding is from hemorrhoids and not some other health issue.

Fiber in your diet is very beneficial to a persons health for many reasons.  It will help in moving food through the colon faster, to help protect against constipation, spastic colon, colon cancer and hemorrhoids.  Get a wide variety of fiber though through a varied diet.  Gum and pectin fiber decrease fat absorption and lower cholesterol levels.  They also slow sugar absorption which is helpful to diabetics.  Yeah it's good for you and a cookie after a high fiber meal probably isn't as bad for you as if you hadn't had the fiber.

Yes, also with a surgery hemorrhoids may come back, actually they like to return very, very much.\n\nHigh fiber diet is good and helps to keep regular and soft bowel movement. But constipation not necessary is the cause of your hemorrhoids. You aren't mentioning at all if you discussed this point with your doctor.\n\nBeside constipation, they are several other causes of hemorrhoids like: significant overweight, pregnancy, overeating, prolonged sitting or standing can also contribute to development of hemorrhoids due to bad blood circulation. Other reasons are: \nacid/alkaline imbalance, fatigue liver, Vitamin B-6 deficiency.\n\nUnless you treat the cause of hemorrhoids any treatment option you decide to make can only be temporary solution. Of course also by temporary solutions depends on how long does it last, how much time you can be "hemorrhoids free" before they return.\n\nPersonally, I wouldn't opt for a surgery as long as I have other treatment options available, but whatever treatment you'll decide to take, find out what is causing your hemorrhoids and treat also this.
