We will fist cover some effective, all natural cures for piles and hemorrhoids followed by surgical options for you to consider. Before we move on to the best home remedies for hemorrhoids, we will study in detail what hemorrhoids are.

What Are Hemorrhoids?

If you have hemorrhoids you are not alone. Hundreds of thousands of men and women suffer from hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoid tissues are a natural part of the body. We do not even notice them but they are very important as they facilitate us to have a bowel movement. For some reason, in some people, these tissues get swollen and inflamed causing uncomfortable symptoms like bleeding, itching, pain and difficulty during bowel movement. Hemorrhoids are of two types; internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids are present inside the lower rectum and may swell and protrude outside it. External piles are present outside the anal area located just underneath the skin. Both types are extremely painful and can interfere during bowel movement. Internal hemorrhoids tend to shrink back and go inside the rectum but may sometimes protrude outside the anus permanently. If this occurs, surgery may be the only way of treating them.

What Are The Symptoms Of Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoid tissues are present near and inside the anal area and consist of a network of blood vessels and veins. When these veins get swollen, you might experience one or all of the following symptoms:

• Burning
• Pain
• Itching
• Protruded tissue
• Itchiness

Sometimes, these symptoms go away on their own while in others, the condition becomes chronic.

What Are The Causes Of Hemorrhoids?

There are no fixed causes of hemorrhoids but most people develop them due to severe constipation. Hemorrhoids also develop when one strains excessively during bowel movement. Sitting for prolonged periods of time with little or no physical activity is another common cause. Eating a diet rich in refined grains, red meat and sugary foods with little or no fiber can also lead to this condition. Elderly people tend to suffer more from hemorrhoids because the connective tissue in the rectum weakens with age. Growing pressure on the rectum during pregnancy could also lead to hemorrhoid formation. These usually resolve after delivery. So how do we get rid of hemorrhoids?

• The natural way;

Foods like red meat, grapes and mangoes are strictly prohibited when suffering from piles. Also curb your alcohol intake. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables.
