To help prevent hemmoroids or hemmoroidal flare-ups:
- • Eat high-fiber foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and grains. Doing so softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help lessen the straining that can cause hemmoroids or worsen symptoms from existing hemmoroids.
- • Drink plenty of liquids. The exact amount of water and other fluids you should drink each day varies and depends on your age, sex, health, activity level and other factors.
- • Consider fiber supplements. Over-the-counter hemmoroid treatment products such as Metamucil and Citrucel can help keep stools soft and regular. Check with your doctor about using stool softeners. If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, fiber supplements can cause constipation or make constipation worse that can also worsen your hemmoroid. Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
- • Exercise. Stay active to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting, and to help prevent constipation. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight that may be contributing to your hemmoroids.
- • Avoid long periods of standing or sitting. Sitting too long, particularly sitting on the toilet for long periods, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus resulting to formation of hemmoroids.
- • Don't strain. Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
- • Go as soon as you feel the urge. If you wait to pass a bowel movement and the urge goes away, your stool could become dry and be harder to pass.
