Hemorrhoids are swollen veins of the inner rectum and the anus. The veins swell because the walls are very fragile and thin. This is because of many factors. Hemorrhoids can be internal where there is no pain. Here you will only realize that you have hemorrhoids when bright red blood oozes out of the anus or you notice them on the stool. In external hemorrhoids, the swelling is outside the anus. When inflamed, the hemorrhoids become very painful, itchy with burning sensation and engorged with blood to the extent that walking can become very unbearable.
To lessen the attack of hemorrhoids, you can do the following things:
1. Check on your diet. You have to ensure that you have a balanced diet. Make sure that your diet consists of plenty of fibers. This can be found in the fruits and vegetable. You can even get fibers from the beans-black, navy and kidney beans. When your diet is rich in fibers, the stool will become consistent and constipation is prevented. There is therefore no stress on the pelvic region and on the anus.
2. You must ensure that you are at an ideal weight. If obese, try to overcome it. Does not be a couch potato. Go out and get plenty of exercise. Once you are at an ideal weight, then the pressure to the rectal area will be less of a burden. Otherwise, the added weight will stimulate hemorrhoids formation.
3. You must consume supplements every day. The one that I highly recommend include a multi vitamins and minerals tablet, Omega 3 capsule 1000mg and Vitamin C tablet 1000mg. The multi vitamins and minerals tablet will ensure that the cells of the anus are properly nourished thereby giving strength to the vein walls as well as aiding in the consistency of the stool. The vitamin C will aid in the strengthening of the vein walls. However, you must make sure that the preparation also contains rutin, hesperidin and flavanoids. The Omega 3 capsule will minimize as well as totally remove inflammation in the vein walls.
However there are many home remedies that you can use if you are stuck with hemorrhoids that are really affecting your daily routine. These remedies have been found to be very cheap, safe and highly efficient.
