Hemorrhoids can be managed at home independently and cost-efficiently. It involves changing of lifestyle and diet to prevent the swollen veins to worsen.
Overview
Hemorrhoids are the abnormal inflammation of tissues that resulted from increased pressure in the anal wall and rectum. According to studies, 5 out of 10 people, both men and women, aging from 50 years and above are experiencing this kind of disease. However, symptoms vary depending on the position of hemorrhoid that is manifesting; it can be INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL.
The development of the Internal type can be seen as rectal bleeding and itching of anus (due to seeping mucus). Rectal bleeding is imminent right after defecating due to bursting of blood vessels. On the other hand, the External type is marked by painful defecation and pooling of blood in the anal area forming a Thrombose; a hard painful lump or contusion.
There are several predisposing and precipitating factors that could build up pressure vascular structures in the anal area:
•Low Fiber Diet which eventually results to constipation or formation of Hard Stools
•Tight clothing. This can increase pressure in the anal canal, thus, cause itchiness due to lack of air passages. Most physicians advised that using cotton underwear would lessen irritation on the perineal and anal area.
•Pregnancy induced hemorrhoids.
Pressure in the abdomen down to the rectum is caused by the growing fetus.
•Lifting Heavy Objects
•Anal intercourse
•Jobs that require prolonged sitting. Examples are bus drivers, factory workers and call-center agents.
Home Remedies
A big change and adjustments to the standard of living would be remarkable. Hemorrhoids can be prevented by eating the right foods and choosing the right clothes.
Most doctors would advise to undergo surgery or prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs that would decrease the severity. Nevertheless, there is still a healthier way than surgery, and that is the convenience of Home Remedies.
Protein is needed to meet and maintain the caloric requirement that our body needs for a certain activity in a day. It is well disseminated that adding fiber is the key to cease constipation, which is one of the precipitating factors, thus, lessen the risk of worsening. Eating the right food that is indigestible as well as water soluble matter such as raisins, oranges, apples, apricots and lettuce, and even an eggplant is a fiber-rich vein, would soften the stools and relief the painful defecation.
Furthermore, dark berry juices are excellent in dispute the severity of the condition. These fruit juices carry Proanthocyanidins and Antyocyanins thus, functions as an antioxidant and thereby strengthening the veins of the anal muscle.
In addition, some people believe in the notion that clothing doesn’t carry a risk for building up hemorrhoids. Even so, facts and experiences outweigh those notions.

For that reason, it is advisable that loose clothing should be worn, especially comfortable-cotton underwear to promote blood circulation within the swollen blood vessels.
