The following are the six best ways to fight
hemorrhoids
1. Eat Fibrous Food - Hemorrhoids occur when a
person complains of infrequent bowel movement.
One of the most natural ways to regularize bowel
movements is to include 25 to 30 grams of fiber
in every day's diet and supplements. According
to an expert doctor, a fibrous diet is a
universal recommendation by doctors and
gastroenterologists to those suffering from
hemorrhoids.

1. Drink Plenty Water - In addition to eating a
   fibrous diet, it is crucial to keep the body
   hydrated by drinking adequate water. It helps in
   preventing constipation and having healthy bowel
   movements. Drinking six to eight glasses of
   water every day not only helps the smooth
   functioning of digestive system but also benefits
   the entire body.
2. Exercise Everyday - According to a recommendation
   by an expert doctor, exercise regularises colon
   and hence, if practiced everyday exercise
   prevents hemorrhoids. Such patients need to stay
   active and reduce time spent in putting pressure
   on veins in the lower rectum. Also, one should
   keep away from heavy lifting or other strenuous
   activities as these are the potential causes of
   causing hemorrhoids.

1. Choose Laxatives Carefully - Experts suggest that
   not all laxatives are good to consume when you
   are suffering from hemorrhoids because some
   laxatives stimulate intestinal contraction to
   move the stool along. However, it causes
   pressure in hemorrhoids and can worsen the
   situation. It is advised to take prescribed
   osmotic laxatives because these substances
   increase the amount of water in the gut and
   reduce constipation.
2. Don't Fight the Urge- when you feel the pressure,
   you have to go, and it is one of the simplest
   ways to cure hemorrhoids. An expert doctor once
   quoted, "Ignoring Mother Nature has its risks and
   hemorrhoids are one of them."

6. Avoid Straining - A person will suffer painful
and bleeding hemorrhoids if he/she puts pressure
on the veins in the rectum. It usually happens
when people find it difficult for the stools to
pass. One should also avoid straining because it
indirectly strains the bowels and causes pain in
hemorrhoids. A person is straining if he/she is
lifting heaving objects, has a chronic cough or
if she is pregnant.
