Searching for Hemorrhoid Relief

By Frank Vandy

It doesn?t matter if you are a long time hemorrhoid suffer or are suffering with your first case. Once you have suffered with hemorrhoids, you will definitely be looking for hemorrhoid relief. Luckily, there are several things you can do that can relieve your hemorrhoids.

First of all, several things can cause hemorrhoids, such as sitting too long, genetics, pregnancy, and constipation. One thing is for sure, no matter the reason, once the burning and itching start; you will be looking for hemorrhoid relief.

To really reduce the likelihood that your hemorrhoids will return, you need to make some changes to your lifestyle. You need to start by evaluating your habits. Do you get regular exercise? Are you active? Do you drink enough water every day? What is your caffeine intake? Do you eat a lot of processed foods or mostly natural foods?

Once you have answered these questions, you should have a better idea of what is causing your hemorrhoids. Some people will look at that list and realize they need to make changes to every area. That can be a bit overwhelming so it is best to change one area, get it right, and then change another area. This greatly increases your chances for success.

Breakfast will be a key to your success. Make sure you include foods that are high in fiber. Forget stool softeners. While they may bring you some temporary relief, they do not address the root causes of your hemorrhoids. High fiber, healthy foods will have the same effect and create many long-term health benefits for you. Best yet, many of these high fiber foods taste great. Go to your local grocery store and pick up three or four high fiber cereals and find one you like.

It also is very important to drink plenty of water. If you drink a lot of soda or coffee, slowly start substituting it with water. Water helps flush the body of toxins and will reduce your hemorrhoids. Make sure that you are getting at least 20 minutes of excising per day. A good long walk each day will increase the blood flow in your body and reduce your hemorrhoid pain.

No matter how long you have suffered with hemorrhoid pain, you know how painful it can be. Follow the steps in this article and you will begin to feel some hemorrhoid relief in a few days. - 14130
