Hemorrhoids arouse a repulsive feeling when we hear about them.
But it is an undeniable fact that many of us have fallen prey to them, are victim to them, or will be at some point in our lives.
Let us take a look at some of the things that cause of hemorrhoids in the first place.
Those who have suffered hemorrhoids probably are aware that unsanitary conditions, unhealthy eating habits and sometimes pregnancy can all be a cause of hemorrhoids.
What are hemorrhoids? They are quite simply the veins or useless tissues that grow near the anal region because of the lack of cleanliness in the anal area.
Identification of hemorrhoids is essential for treatment.
You will want to find out whether the hemorrhoid is of the external or internal nature.
If it is external, can it be reinserted manually or is it past that stage already? Make sure to consult a specialist or a physician to wipe it out for good.
Only someone who is certified to practice medicine will be able to give you a definite answer to this question.
While you are undergoing treatment be sure not to eat processed food or foods that are spicy.
Keep away from alcohol and other intoxicants.
Always remember to keep the anal region dry and clean, and use a smooth tissue for cleaning.
Toilet paper can be very damaging if you have hemorrhoids so you must change to some form of gentle wipe before anything else.
Don't forget to wear clean clothes and bathe carefully.
These tips will certainly prove invaluable in addition to consulting a specialist.
