Home Remedies For Hemorrhoids by John D Slimm

We have veins running all through our bodies. Yet most people are only aware of the ones that are seen, like the ones in our hands and feet. Most people are not aware that we also have veins located in our rectum and anus. But we do become very aware of these veins when they become swollen and inflamed, especially when stool is passed. A hemorrhoid, or piles, is the known term used for this condition.

Natural home remedies are the best option for the caring of hemorrhoids and the uncomfortable symptoms associated with them. But what causes hemorrhoids? There is a number of underlying causes and by learning what creates this painful situation, treatment and even prevention is made easier.

1. Constipation.

*Not drinking enough water and diet low in fiber causes hard stool - makes you strain to have a bowel movement.

*Constipation and straining when defecating is a sure cause of hemorrhoids. The veins there will not be able to tolerate the pressure and therefore they will get swollen and may even start bleeding.

2. Diarrhea.

*Most people do not associate diarrhea with hemorrhoids. Diarrhea is considered as passing watery stools more than three times a day for over 2 days. When you have diarrhea, you will spend a lot of time in the toilet straining to get out the entire stool. Despite the fact that it is watery stool, you still exert pressure and this can cause hemorrhoids.

3. Pregnancy.

*Pregnant women also suffer from hemorrhoids because the baby puts pressure on the mother lower abdomen and as a result the rectal veins swell.
