Don\u2019t worry, you&#8217;re not alone. Far from it, in fact. Almost 1 in 2 adult Canadians will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in their lives.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0That&#8217;s nearly every second person at work, on the train, even at the pharmacy.<\/p>\n<h4><!--more--><strong>What Are Hemorrhoids?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus, caused by increased pressure. Hemorrhoids are classified into two categories: internal and external. If you have small, internal hemorrhoids, you may not be able to feel or even see them. With larger ones, you may feel a small hard lump on the outside of your anus.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering what may cause this increased pressure?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Constipation and straining during bowel movements<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Straining when you are constipated is one of the major causes of hemorrhoids. Increase your intake of fresh fruit and fibre as they\u2019ll make your trips to the bathroom much more manageable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diarrhea<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Prolonged bowel movements that have you sitting on the toilet for longer than usual can cause hemorrhoids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy lifting<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It can be weights at the gym or heavy boxes at work. Any activities that put pressure on your abdomen can increase your chances of having hemorrhoids, even something like slouching when you\u2019re sitting or prolonged sitting and standing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Obesity<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Obesity can also put your abdomen under strain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A poor diet<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A diet high in refined carbohydrates, low in fibre, and lacking whole grains and fresh fruit and vegetables can contribute to inflammation and hemorrhoids. A lack of nutrients that support healthy vascular function can increase your risk for as well as the severity of hemorrhoids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pregnancy and childbirth<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The weight of your developing baby, constipation, and pushing during labour make hemorrhoids common.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>How Do I Know If I have Hemorrhoids?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As you may guess, suffering from hemorrhoids isn\u2019t pleasant but we\u2019re here to help. The symptoms vary from person to person but here are a few common ones to look out for<sup>3, 4<\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Itching, swelling, and burning in the rectal area<\/li>\n<li>Bleeding at the time of bowel movement and\/or blood on the toilet paper<\/li>\n<li>Uncomfortable lumps in the anal region<\/li>\n<li>Pain or discomfort during a bowel movement<\/li>\n<li>Mucous discharge after passing stool<\/li>\n<li>Feeling like your bowels need to be emptied even after going to the bathroom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you suspect you have hemorrhoids, visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis (especially if you\u2019re experiencing a noticeable change in your bowel movements). It&#8217;s also a good idea to visit your doctor if this is the first time you&#8217;re experiencing hemorrhoid symptoms. They may recommend an over-the-counter treatment for your symptoms that you can buy from your local pharmacy or online at <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/searchresult.html?keyword=anusol\">Well.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Who Is Most Likely to Get Hemorrhoids?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Certain people are more likely to get hemorrhoids than others, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People over the age of 45<\/li>\n<li>Pregnant people, as extra weight increases the pressure on your pelvic blood vessels<\/li>\n<li>People who have just given birth, from pushing during childbirth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Your Lifestyle Can Make a Difference<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Be mindful about keeping unnecessary pressure off your abdomen. Even small changes in your lifestyle can make a big difference in limiting the recurrence of hemorrhoids.<sup>3, 4 <\/sup>Ensure you are taking breaks to\u00a0<strong>incorporate physical activity<\/strong>\u00a0in your daily routine,\u00a0<strong>stay hydrated<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>eat well<\/strong>. By making little changes to your daily routine, you can start making a difference right away! Try out some of these tips to help manage your hemorrhoids:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get plenty of exercise<\/strong>. Exercise aids digestion and helps in achieving regular bowel movements. Walking and yoga are helpful ways to keep your bowel movements consistent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase your fibre intake.<\/strong>\u00a0Fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, and fibre-rich cereals are good sources of fibre. By including more fibre in your diet, stools will be softer, diminishing the discomfort of bowel movements. This may also help you avoid constipation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink plenty of fluids<\/strong>, especially water and fruit juices. Try to avoid coffee and alcohol which can dehydrate you and lead to constipation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid sitting<\/strong>\u00a0on the toilet longer than necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go to the toilet<\/strong>\u00a0whenever you feel the need. Don\u2019t hold it in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid straining<\/strong>\u00a0during bowel movements. If constipation is a problem, use a gentle laxative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>How Can You Get Relief?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Anusol\u2122 is Canada\u2019s #1 Doctor Recommended Brand<sup>2<\/sup> and as such, we have a range of fast, long-lasting, and effective hemorrhoid treatment options for you to choose from.
