Hemorrhoid constipation is an awful experience as it is not only uncomfortable; it makes the swollen veins even worse.
With the constant high pressure exerted to the anal area due to straining while having a bowel movement, the veins in the anus which are supposedly flexible and elastic, swell and tear eventually.
With the swelling, certain unwanted symptoms erupt that can be a burden to those who have it.
A hemorrhoid or the inflammation of the veins surrounding the anus is a very common condition.
At present, statistics show the rising number of hemorrhoidal cases.
The problem is, though, that people with this disease are embarrassed to seek professional treatment.
Hemorrhoid constipation, although a contributing factor itself, is also a product of all other factors that can lead to the swelling.
Irregular bowel movements, low-fiber diet, sedentary lifestyle, highly caffeinated drinks and low water intake can play their part in making stools hard.
Aside from these, hemorrhoids can also arise from wearing tight clothes, obesity and pregnancy.
Preventing hemorrhoid constipation can be easy.
If you reverse all those factors that lead to its development then bowel motions can become effortless.
Make sure to respond to every bowel urge; exercise at least 30 minutes a day; eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, followed by at least 8 glasses of water a day; and learn to listen to what your anus tells you.
If you feel something is wrong, then it's important to listen to your instincts..
These habits are hard to establish, but once you're used to them, it gets easier all the way - just like moving your bowels!
