hemorrhoids Prevention

The key to prevention is proper diet and habits to produce softer stools, thus reducing the need to strain.
  • Add plenty of fiber to diet (fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains).
  • Drink plenty of fluids (8 to 10 glasses of water daily).
  • Don’t hurry or strain to push bowel movements, but avoid prolonged toilet sitting.
  • Avoid vigorous wiping after bowel movements (to decrease irritation).
  • Lose weight, if overweight.
  • Exercise regularly.
