Do you often see blood in your stools? Likewise, do you experience pain, every time you try to eliminate? If so, then you're probably suffering from hemorrhoids. These are considered to be painful protrusions that often happen near the anal opening, but sometimes, it can also occur inside the rectum too.
There are two kinds of hemorrhoids; the internal and external hemorrhoids.
Internal hemorrhoids usually protrude from the anus, especially when bits of swollen tissues are forcefully squeezed as the fecal matter passes through. This causes bleeding, pain, and sometimes, even itching. On the other hand, external hemorrhoids are just dark blood clots forming near the anus.
No matter which type of hemorrhoids you're suffering from, rest assured that there are several ways rid yourself of them. Here are the guidelines that you can try, especially if your hemorrhoids is relatively minor and you don't suffer from any kind of complications. Also, if your doctor gave you an assurance that your hemorrhoids will eventually cure on its own, then you can take some action and speed up the healing process.
If this sounds too good to be true, then wait until you read some of these helpful tips. Get ready to discover some of the most common cures that will help you prevent this uncomfortable problem from coming back.
1) For pregnant women: Sleep on your side
Are you or someone you know currently pregnant? If so, then you have a higher risk of developing hemorrhoids. The reason behind is that, the baby, as well as the amniotic sac are exerting extra pressure on the pelvic region.
This extra pressure can trigger hemorrhoids. However, you can easily reduce this pressure by sleeping on the side instead. Some women find this difficult, but if you want to avoid those nasty hemorrhoids, then you'll soon realize that a little sacrifice will be worth it. This advice should be followed, especially if you're on the third month of your pregnancy.
2) Move every now and then
Are you aware that being stuck in a single position can increase the risks of hemorrhoids? Likewise, it can make the existing condition worse.
So, it's always advisable to take short breaks whenever you can. For instance, if you've been sitting all day, stand and stretch. On the other hand, if you've been driving for several hours, take a few minutes to stretch your legs. This is an excellent way to lessen the pressure in your pelvic and rectal areas.
3) Utilize ergonomics during heavy lifting
Never lift with your back, use your legs instead. Lifting with your legs means that your leg muscles exert the most effort. This also reduces the strain from the back and other related regions.
Likewise, once you successfully lifted something heavy, don't forget to breath out. This is a great way to release the internal pressure.
4) Eat healthy
Fiber improves digestion and it's also a great way to soften the tool. Thus, in order to prevent hemorrhoids, it's a must to eat foods that are packed with fiber.
