Since hemorrhoids are the most common of all the colorectal disorders, it’s easy to just assume that any symptoms you are experiencing are related to hemorrhoids, but this is a potentially dangerous assumption. There are other colon diseases like colon cancer that can have symptoms that may seem like they could be related to hemorrhoids, but may actually end up being related to a more serious condition, this makes early detection and treatment essential. This is why if you experience any anal pain, bleeding or swelling in the anal region, you should make your doctor your first stop. An exam will not only help your doctor rule out these other more serious health risks, but it will also allow your doctor to see how serious your condition is and advice some options for hemroid treatment. The sooner you are able to start treating your hemorrhoids, the more likely it is that you can keep your hemorrhoids from getting worse.

There really is no real hemorrhoid cure, but fiber is about as close as it comes to being considered a “cure”.  Most Americans only getting about half of the fiber we should be getting each day, it’s recommended that we get 25 grams of fiber and most people manage to only get about 12 grams. All this lack of fiber is probably why the US has such a high rate of hemorrhoids when compared to other countries. So, why is fiber so important to treat hemorrhoids?  Well, fiber works on hemorrhoids in a couple ways. First it helps create softer stools that pass through the anal canal easier thus minimizing irritation. Second, fiber helps to promote easy regular softer bowel movements, thus reducing the straining that actually causes the majority of hemorrhoids.

So although there are no quick easy solutions when it comes to hemorrhoids, fiber is an excellent way to prevent hemorrhoids and reduce the swelling and symptoms associated with current hemorrhoids.
