Hemorrhoids (piles) are varicose veins in the lower part of the rectum or anus. The veins become swollen because of increased pressure often as a result of constipation and straining during defecation. They are common during pregnancy and if the person is overweight.
What you can do to help
The most common cause of hemorrhoids is constipation which fortunately responds well to nutritional medicine.
Magnesium is likely to be deficient. It is required for the smooth muscles of the body (the lining of the bowel contains smooth muscle). When magnesium is deficient the muscles do not contract and relax in the correct sequence. Magnesium as a part of a good multivitamin and mineral supplement should assist in correcting the deficiency.
Ensure that your diet is rich in fibre. You can take a fiber supplement such as linseed. The fiber will hold a lot of water and stimulate bowel movement.
Ensure that you drink plenty of fresh water. The fluids will assist in softening the stool.
Avoid caffeinated beverages as these act as a diuretic and will deplete the fluids for softening the stool.
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids will help to ensure the integrity of the blood vessels which makes the hemorrhoids less likely.
