Answer:
What are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal area and lower part of the rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop in the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Almost three out of four adults will suffer from hemorrhoids from time to time. There are many causes of hemorrhoids, but often the cause is unknown.
Fortunately, there are effective options for treating hemorrhoids, and many people find relief from this type of problem with home remedies and a necessary change in lifestyle.
External hemorrhoids
These appear under the skin around the anus.
Signs and symptoms may include:
- itching or irritation in the anal region
- pain or discomfort
- swelling around the anus
- bleeding
Internal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum. They are usually not seen or felt and rarely cause discomfort.
But straining or irritation when passing stool can cause:
- painless bleeding during bowel movements. You may notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet paper or in the toilet.
- hemorrhoid that protrudes through the anal opening (prolapse or protruding hemorrhoid), causing unpleasant pain and irritation.
- thrombotic hemorrhoid
If blood collects in an external hemorrhoid and forms a blood clot, it can cause:
- severe pain
- swelling
- inflammation
- hard lump near the anus

Hemorrhoids and prevention?
The best way to prevent the formation/formation of hemorrhoids is to ensure that the stool that is passed is soft.
To prevent hemorrhoids and reduce hemorrhoid symptoms, follow these tips:
- Eat foods high in fiber. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This softens the stool and increases its quantity, thus avoiding the strain that can cause hemorrhoids. Add fiber to your diet to avoid bloating.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Drink six to eight glasses of water and other fluids (not alcohol) each day to keep stools soft.
Consider fiber supplements. Most people do not consume enough fiber in their diet - that is 20 to 30 grams per day. Studies have shown that over-the-counter fiber supplements, such as psyllium or methylcellulose, improve overall symptoms and bleeding from hemorrhoids. If you use dietary supplements that are fortified with fiber, drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids each day. Otherwise, supplements may cause or worsen constipation. - Don't strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass stool causes more pressure in the veins in the lower part of the rectum.
- Have a bowel movement as soon as you feel you have to. If you wait to have a bowel movement and the urge disappears, your stools may dry out and make it harder to pass.
- Physical activity. Stay active to prevent constipation and reduce pressure on the veins that can occur from prolonged standing or sitting. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight, which can also contribute to the condition of your hemorrhoids.
- Avoid prolonged sitting. Sitting for too long, especially on the toilet, can increase pressure on the veins in the anus.
