Most often Hemorrhoids, or
Most often Hemorrhoids, or varicose veins in the anus, are caused by straining from bowel movements, or constipation. Usually they will shrink when the pressurs is off so you want to avoid constipation in a big way. Eat foods with fiber!!! Now, Fiber works well but only when suficient liquid is in the body to "Bulk it". You want to drink lots of WATER, sugary or caffeinated drinks will dehydrate you. You should also take some cold, cold pressed oils such as olive or castor oil. Exercize also keeps people regular. When you go to the bathroom, take something light to read to make it a more relaxing experience.
In the meantime to help soothe the pain you can use some zinc oxide paste or even some plain old vaseline and take a warm bath which relaxes the anal sphincter.
