What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids?
Symptoms of hemorrhoids, both external and internal,
include:
-
Aching after a bowel movement
-
Anal or rectal itching
-
Bright red blood on toilet tissue or in toilet
bowl
-
Appearance of anal tissue pads or sensitive

Consult your physician if you experience any of
these hemorrhoid symptoms.
What are the chances that I will have hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids can affect men and women alike; however
an individual may be more likely to get hemorrhoids
as they age or if their parents had them. Pregnant
women often get hemorrhoids because of the strain
from carrying the baby and from giving birth. For
most women, such hemorrhoids are a temporary
problem. Obesity, straining during bowel movements,
sitting too long on the toilet, or standing or
lifting too much can make hemorrhoids worse.
Constipation is oftentimes the main cause of
hemorrhoids.
How can I prevent getting hemorrhoids?
The following are tips for hemorrhoid prevention:
-
Eat more foods that are rich in fiber such as
fresh or lightly cooked fruits and vegetables,
brown rice, whole grain breads, cereals and
nuts.
-
Increase water intake. Drink at least 8 glasses
or 2000 cc of water a day.
-
Avoid putting off the urge of bowel movement.
-
Avoid excessive use of laxatives or enemas.
-
Keep the rectal area clean to help relieve the
itching.
-
Avoid scratching
-
Avoid heavy lifting which puts pressure on the
anus.
-
Avoid topical anti-itching creams or lotions
with local anesthetics. These products only mask
symptoms. If used too often, it can cause
worsening of condition.
-
Avoid reading while seating on the toilet.
-
Use Witch Hazel or aloe vera wipes after a bowel
movement.
Cautions: Notify your health care provider or a
colon-rectal specialist if you experience the
following:
-
Severe, acute bleeding that you cannot control.
-
Bleeding that lasts more than a week.
-
Severe pain lasting more than a few hours.
You may need a rectal exam
with sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to diagnose your
colon condition.
Colon
Cleansing/Detox
This is one aspect overlooked or ignored by most
conventional Western medical practitioners. We
accumulate toxic waste in our colon over years of
eating. Some of this toxic waste matter may dry up
and accumulate in diverticula or pile up in certain
curvatures of our colon. This toxic waste matter
serves colonic cesspools for harmful bacteria,
viruses, parasites and toxins. Doesn't it make sense
to remove or cleanse these waste materials and
toxins on a regular basis to eliminate the breeding
ground for these unwanted "guests" in our colon?.
These unwanted "guests" are the major root cause of
IBS.
Regardless of the causes of hemorrhoids, you should
seek treatment immediately because hemorrhoid rarely
heal by itself (hemorrhoids may subside and
disappear it is bound to recur). Hence, you should
use a hemorrhoid cure that can help you get rid of
hemorrhoids permanently once and for all!
