The term 'hemorrhoids'
refers to a condition in which the veins around
the anus or lower rectum are inflamed & swollen.
Hemorrhoids generally result from straining to
move stool & can be caused by chronic
constipation or diarrhea.
Basically, there are two kinds of hemorrhoids,
internal & external. According to some authorities,
one third of all adults have hemorrhoids &
in many cases are unaware of having them. They
are very common in both men & women, &
about half of the population will have hemorrhoids
by the age of 50.
A dry, hard, compacted
stool causes considerable straining for evacuation,
leading to increased pressure in the veins, resulting
in a ballooning out & breakdown of the vein
wall. The standard american diet (SAD), is one
of the greatest contributing factors. The best
way to prevent hemorrhoids is to maintain a healthy
colon
& keep stools soft so they pass effortlessly.
Exercise, including walking, a high fiber diet
& drinking plenty of water helps reduce constipation
& straining by producing stools that are easier
to pass.
