Hemorrhoids or Piles as they are often called in the UK, are swellings on the inside of the anal canal, the short, muscular tube that connects the rectum with the anus. They are round swellings that can reach the size of a grape. They are not varicose veins. Here are few of the questions frequently asked about hemorrhoids - responses are by other readers. None of the answers are intended to constitute medical advice, so please consult your medical practitioner before trying anything out.

Use a hemorrhoid medicine for several days to calm them down. If you really want to have a fast and good bowel movement, drink a cup off coffee followed by a glass of prune juice. It will cause some gas and maybe some cramping but it won’t last long and it works.

Drink lots and lots of herbal teas.
Hot herbal tea first thing in the morning often helps.
Stay away from tea and coffee as these are quite constipating naturally.
Increase your intake of fruit and vegetables….make sure you get your five a day.
Eat wholemeal or wholegrain bread. avoid white bread.
You could try prune juice in the morning or canned prunes in juice or any soft snack prunes with your cereal…..make sure it is a high fibre cereal.
Dried fruits as snacks may also help…….figs, apricots, dates, prunes, etc. But go easy on these for your teeth sake. Chew xylitol gum afterwards and brush your teeth if you can do so.
You can try these alone if you cannot afford to pay for supplements. A cheap old-fashioned supplement [can get from a pharmacy] that might help is epsom salts….a 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon first thing in a morning in a little hot water. But hot herbal tea alone might do the job.

It is prudent to consult your doctor if you get constipated frequently. Constipation itself may be a symptom of some other illness such as:
Colon Cancer
Depression
Diabetes
Diverticulosis
Lead poisoning
Parkinson’s Disease
Drink papaya juice regularly. It is affordable and easy on your budget. Aside from being a high fiber food, it is loaded with the protease called papain. It is a big help in digesting proteins in your food.
