The statistical data known about hemorrhoids or piles, indicate that at some point in their lives, at least 40% of the adult population will suffer from this disease, which manifests as an inflammation of the veins located in the region of rectum and anus.
There are several causes of hemorrhoids, some of which are: the effort to evacuate the intestine, the changes brought about pregnancy in women and aging in humans, chronic constipation caused by a diet low in fiber, and diarrhea.
To determine whether you suffer from hemorrhoids, just watch for blood in the stool, in the toilet paper or in the toilet after each visit to the bathroom.
Undoubtedly, the blood in the anus is the most obvious symptom of all, which does not mean you have to ignore other symptoms such as itching sensation in the anus, and the difficulty and pain to evacuate one's bowels.
Modern medicine is a blessing to man; it has made it possible to increase life expectancy in surprising ways.
However, we must recognize that in cases such as suffering from hemorrhoids, doctors tend to treat the symptoms, i.
e.
bleeding, itching and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus, instead of addressing the causes that create them.
Thus, the problem only temporarily disappears.
Different studies have been able to establish some of the most common errors committed by people that aggravate hemorrhoids.
It is advisable to avoid making these mistakes, in order to experience a gradual improvement of this condition.
Error # 1.
Eating lots of processed food This is very common in our days.
However, it was established that processed foods can cause digestive problems and constipation, which are known causes of hemorrhoids.
The solution then, especially when it comes to reducing the causes of hemorrhoids, is to reduce as much as possible the intake of processed foods.
Error # 2.
Sedentary lifestyle When people spend most of their time sat down, they may be creating additional pressure on their back, if we include the presence of an extra force as produced when there is constipation or pregnancy, then that might increase the possibility of hemorrhoids.
The solution is to make sure not to sit down for more than 1 hour straight and to do gentle stretches to promote the free circulation of the blood.
Error # 3.
Intake of processed medication and creams This causes the same as the intake of processed foods.
Even those fiber supplements containing processed and artificial elements can create side effects and even if they are not dealing with the root problem.
So if you do your best to avoid making these three mistakes, you can rest assured the hemorrhoids will not worsen and you will be taking some important steps to improve your quality of life.
