   Hemorrhoids are most often a short-term problem. Constipation is one of the main things that can lead to hemorrhoids.

   Preventing constipation

   Include more fibre in your diet. Fibre helps soften stools. Fresh fruit, leafy vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereals are good sources of fibre.
   Avoid low-fibre foods, such as ice cream, cheese, white bread and meat.
   Drink plenty of fluids (except alcohol). Eight glasses of water a day is ideal.
   Exercise regularly.
   Bulk-forming laxatives may be helpful. Bulk-forming laxatives include bran, psyllium (some examples are Metamucil, Fibrepur, Novo-Mucilax, Prodiem [plain]) and others (an example is Fibyrax).
   Avoid laxatives for more than occasional use unless they’re bulk-forming.
   If you feel the need to have a bowel movement, don’t wait too long to use the bathroom. Your stool will get drier and harder the longer you wait.

   In the meantime, you can follow these tips to reduce the pain caused by hemorrhoids. Although you’ll find many hemorrhoid medicines in the store, some haven’t been proven to work. And some may even be harmful if you use them too much. Talk to your family doctor about which products may be helpful for you.

   Relieving the pain

   Take warm soaks three or four times a day.
   Clean your anus after each bowl movement by patting gently with moist toilet paper or moistened pads (such as Tucks), or baby wipes. Rinsing in the shower may also be helpful. Pat, don’t wipe, your anus clean.
   Use ice packs to relieve swelling.
   Acetaminophen (some examples are Panadol, Tylenol), ibuprofen (some examples are Advil, Medipren, Motrin) or aspirin may help relieve pain.
   Apply a cream that contains witch hazel to the area or use a numbing ointment. Creams that contain hydrocortisone can be used for itching or pain.
   For very painful flare-ups, stay off your feet and in bed for a full day.
   Avoid heavy lifting and straining

   Will I need surgery?

   Most hemorrhoids heal on their own in a week or two. Hemorrhoids tend to come back unless you do what you can to prevent them. If yours keep causing problems, talk with your doctor about your options.

   Internal hemorrhoids can also be destroyed by injection sclerotherapy infrared coagulation (injecting them with chemicals) or by electrocoagulation (burning them). Rubber band ligation can be used to treat internal hemorrhoids. It involves placing a small rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid. This stops the flow of blood to the area. The hemorrhoid then withers away. Internal hemorrhoids can also be destroyed by injecting them with chemicals or by burning them. A hemorrhoidectomy (surgical removal of the hemorrhoids) may be needed if internal hemorrhoids are prolapsed or very large.

   Painful external hemorrhoids that contain blood clots can be treated by removing the clot in a simple procedure. This works best when it’s done within the first 24 hours after the clot forms and pain starts.

   Hemorrhoids do come back sometimes especially if not treated properly and you do not do something to alleviate the cause of getting them in the first place.
   I’m sure you want to get rid of them permanently.There is only one solution to this…http://www.hemorrhoids-gone.com
