What Causes Hemorrhoids?
One cause of hemorrhoids is straining when on the toilet.
It is recommended that to avoid strain one should sit on the toilet seat, but tip the feet to the balls of the feet or toes, and lean forward, elbows to knees, in order to allow the feces to come out easily and without straining.
This protects your veins.
A person who has trouble with constipation may form hemorrhoids.
Avoid constipation with proper diet.
If you need to pass a hard stool, relax, breathe deeply in and out.
Let gravity help the situation.
Frequent diarrhea is hard on the veins around the rectum.
This can be a sign of disease and cause hemorrhoids.
Prevent infectious diarrhea by practicing good hand washing techniques after using the toilet, and before eating.

Use a damp, soft cloth or commercially prepared wipe if you are tender.

Better yet, whenever possible share the load and do not lift things that are too heavy.
Diseases cause pressure to build in the veins of the abdomen.
Liver disease is one of them.
