Causes Of Hemorrhoids 

There are numerous causes of hemorrhoids, weak rectal walls and valves can be genetic, but other causes like excessive straining during daily bowel movements, constipation, diarrhea, poor bathroom habits, like reading on the toilet and multiple wiping can also be the cause.

Other factors that may cause hemorrhoids can be caused by a fiber-deprived diet, pregnancy, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle. Vitamin deficiency can be a large part of hemorrhoid development, and standing for long periods of time, where the blood exerts pressure on the rectal area can be another major contributing factor. Chronic constipation is a major cause, so it would seem that anything that causes pressure or strain in the anal area can be primary causes.

Some believe that lack of physical exercise and a low daily intake of fluids cause the rectal wall muscles to weaken, and cause additional strain during bowel movements. It would seem that anything that can affect the area can be contributing factors, although, some people may not have any of these factors and still end up with hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are a group of veins in the anus that are just beneath the membrane that lines the lowest part of the anus and rectum. External hemorrhoids are the ones that occur outside of the anal verge and they are fairly painful. Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum and left untreated can lead to two severe forms, which are prolapsed or strangulated hemorrhoids.

Taking all factors into consideration, it would appear most likely that hemorrhoids are caused by straining during bowel movements for an excessive amount of time, no matter what the reason for it is. Symptoms of hemorrhoids can include fissures, abscesses, irritation and itching in the area, and they can also bleed after a bowel movement.

Treatments of hemorrhoids depend on where they are located and sometimes it is a matter of lifestyle and diet changes. Exercising and losing weight helps if you are out of shape or obese. Strengthening the veins can be helped by eating blackberries, blueberries, cherries and Vitamin C as an alternative dietary treatment. Of course the best thing is to prevent hemorrhoids in the first place by drinking more fluids, eating more fiber, practicing better posture and reducing or eliminating strain during bowel movements.

By understanding the causes of hemorrhoids, you can be better able to come up with a plan of attack in your particular case. Certain cases may dictate surgical removal, but rubber band ligation is affordable and often effective in the majority of cases. Pregnant women may develop them due to constipation during pregnancy and the excess weight of the uterus on the rectum area. Often these are temporary in nature and are relieved after the pregnancy is over.

Local anesthetics may temporarily relieve symptoms of hemorrhoids and antiseptics can help prevent infection and reduce swelling in some cases. Depending on the size of the hemorrhoid, it is better to catch them sooner than later. Because they are fed by veins that might become enlarged due to pressure, the primary way of getting rid of stubborn hemorrhoidal tissue may involve cutting the blood flow to the hemorrhoid.
