In case you wouldn’t aware there are three kinds of hemorrhoids. The first one is internal hemorrhoids that involve the veins inside your rectum. These kinds don’t usually hurt but can bleed. The next kind are prolapsed hemorrhoids which are inside but stretch down until they bulge on the outside. They can go back inside on their own or you can push them back inside. The third kind are external hemorrhoids that are in the veins outside the anus. These are the kind that are itchy or painful and sometimes will crack and bleed.

Hemorrhoids are caused by straining when you are constipated but can also be caused from diarrhea, being obese or lifting something heavy. Most people will get hemorrhoids some time in their live and usually go away by just using a hemorrhoid cream. You don’t really need to see a doctor unless they are bleeding and then you want to make sure it is not something more serious. To get rid of hemorrhoids eat more fiber, as well as fresh fruits, leafy vegetables and whole grains. Drink plenty of water (not alcohol). Exercise. Avoid laxatives except for those that are bulk-forming. Other kinds can give you diarrhea which worsens your hemorrhoids. When you need to have a bowel movement don’t put it off because you are doing something else.
