Hemorrhoids are veins in the anus that have
swollen and may even protrude out of the rectum. Things
that may cause them to occur include: bad diet, constipation, lack of
exercise, sitting for long periods
of time, obesity, allergies, pregnancy, liver damage, and heavy
lifting. Hemorrhoids cause pain by
itching and bleeding. Severe hemorrhoids may require surgery and you
will want to consult your doctor.
A colon intestinal cleansing can be helpful and also provides many
general health benefits.
