How will you get piles/hemorrhoids? 😦

Hemorrhoids comes from an increased pressure in the lower rectum due to:

• Straining during bowel movements
• Sitting for long periods of time on the toilet
• Having chronic diarrhea or constipation
• Being obese
• Being pregnant
• Having anal intercourse
• Eating a low-fiber diet
• Regular heavy lifting

How to prevent piles/hemorrhoids?

To make things short if you have no time to read just remember this 🙂 1.DO NOT SIT TOO LONG IN THE TOILET ( DONT PLAY HANDPHONE) 🙂

2. EAT VEGETABLE AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER 🙂

3. DONT STRAIN IN TOILET 🙂

Enjoy reading 🙂 🙂

• Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This helps to have a smooth/ loose up the stool so that you do no have to strain much during going to toilet.
• Drink plenty of fluids. Drink six to eight glasses of water and other liquids (not alcohol) each day to help keep stools soft.
• Consider fiber supplements. If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, the supplements can cause or worsen constipation.
• Don’t strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
• Go as soon as you feel the urge. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could dry out and be harder to pass.
• Exercise. Stay active to help prevent constipation and to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight that might be contributing to your hemorrhoids.
• Avoid long periods of sitting. Sitting too long, particularly on the toilet, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus.

When to seek a doctor? 😦

• If you’re experiencing any type of rectal bleeding
• If the hemorrhoids are causing you pain or discomfort
• If the problems persist despite trying over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams or other remedies
• If you’re passing stools that look maroon in color or tarry in color, a sign of bleeding
