Causes Of Hemorrhoids

In understanding the important causes of hemorrhoids, both internal and external ones, there are two categories: major and minor. The discussion here will look more in the details of the major causes of hemorrhoids rather than minor ones happen around us.

We can say the major cause of hemorrhoids is related to the applied pressure rectal system and veins of pelvic. Obesity, habits, genetic factors, long sitting or standing, diarrhea, aging, constipation and pregnancy can cause this kind of pressure. In most cases, hemorrhoids are self-heal. It means if you do not do something to induce flare-ups (such as continuing to strain when you have diarrhea, chronic constipation and defecating), then the hemorrhoids, without any intervention, will recover themselves.

Two factors linked to hemorrhoids are eating bad food and straining on the toilet. Bad food here means food containing too much processed food and too little fiber. Constipation is of the major causes of hemorrhoids. In the less-developed African population where the diet contains high fiber and roughage, hemorrhoids are rare. Nevertheless, when the population alters their diet to contain higher amount of processed food, the occurrence of hemorrhoids are higher. Straining increases by number of the modern toilet style use because it reduces due pressure to the anal veins. Straining too hard causes the rectum to receive too much pressure that leads to swelling veins. Therefore, instead of holding your breath while giving pressure to come out the poo, you should trying gentle deep breathing.

Applying wrong position when sitting on toilet seat is one of the most frequent causes of hemorrhoids. To sit properly on the toilet you should raise your feet up on balls of feet to tiptoes. To your knees, you should bend forward with your elbows. Diarrhea can damage the veins because the fecal matters that are frequently passing of stool can moisten the intestine that can cause hemorrhoids. To avoid diarrhea you should apply hygiene by always wash hands before you eat and wash vegetables and fruits before consuming them. It is believed that once you get hemorrhoids, you will always get hemorrhoids. The explanation of this thought is because the hemorrhoids will weaken the walls of the distended veins. The weakened walls of the distended veins will tend to cause flare-us in the future.

In summary, the causes of hemorrhoid disease are many. They major causes of them closely related to eating and straining habit. Bad eating habit can cause constipation. The other major causes are ranged from personal condition such as pregnancy, obesity, and diarrhea to personal habit such as applying wrong position on toilet seat and in wiping or cleaning anal area.
