Hemorrhoid Cure

Hemorrhoid Description and Causes
Since you're on the web seeking a hemorrhoid cure, you already know what hemorrhoids are; they're a royal pain in the butt!

Seriously, though. Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins in the rectum, much like varicose veins of the legs. Almost everyone has the potential to develop hemorrhoids; not everyone does. There are certain activities or conditions that create and aggravate the condition, such as:

  • a low-fiber diet
  • a couch-potato lifestyle
  • constipation and straining on the stool
  • prolonged standing
  • diarrhea
  • pregnancy
  • great physical exertion
  • excessive sexual activity

    Some of these can be avoid; others can't. If you work as a checker in a grocery store, for example, hemorrhoids are most likely a constant problem.

    If hemorrhoids are left untreated, they most assuredly get worse. There is no hope of improvement as long as they are on the outside of the rectum, known as prolapsed. Details are covered in the section entitled Hemorrhoids-Prolapsed.
