The intended hemorrhoids not much different from its meaning in the dictionary; it extends abnormal blood vessels at the end of the rectum and anus size, a problem similar to the problems of varicose veins that occur in the blood vessels in various areas of the body.

What are the types of hemorrhoids?

- Means the cases of hemorrhoids which the blood vessel where the oversized located inside the anal canal.
- Often associated with blood comes without pain.

Internal hemorrhoids is divided into four stages: 
1 - the first phase: a blood vessel inside the anal canal is enlarged, but it does not reflect the outside.
2 - Phase II: a blood vessel inside the anal canal is enlarged, but it highlights the outside during a bowel movement or release of gas accompanied by hiccups, but it is up to the inside once the pressure - hiccups - effect.
3 - Phase III: blood vessel oversized automatically highlights outside the anus without the presence of pressure or rigidly attached to it, but the patien can tbring him back inside.
4 - Phase IV: the oversized highlights blood vessel outside the anus continuously and does not return within the anal canal.

Prevention of hemorrhoids :

1. Fill Up on Fiber

Hemorrhoids are more likely to occur in people who haveinfrequent bowel movements.

One of the easiest, most natural ways to become more regular is by filling up on fiber

either through your diet or supplements.“Adding fiber to the diet is the universal

recommendation of both family doctors and gastroenterologists,” says Dr. Kussin.

“It may increase gas, but this is a small price to pay for the benefits.” Aim to get 25 to

30 grams of fiber per day. Great food sources of fiber include:

Legumes, such as split peas, lentils, black beans, lima beans, and baked beans

Whole grains, such as barley, bran flakes, oatmeal, and brown rice

Vegetables, such as artichoke, green peas, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts

Fruits, such as raspberries, pears, apples, and bananas

2. Drink Enough Water

This hemorrhoid prevention strategy is simple and cheap, yet so few of us actually do it.

Along with eating a healthy diet full of fiber, adequate hydration from water is the key

to having healthy bowel movements. “Drinking enough water helps prevent constipation and

therefore decreases straining,” says Richard Desi, MD, a gastroenterologist at Mercy

Medical Center in Baltimore. Drinking six to eight glasses of water each day doesn't

just keep your digestive system running smoothly, it benefits your entire body. 

3. Get Plenty of Exercise

According to Dr. Desi, exercise and hemorrhoids have a love-hate relationship.

“Exercise helps keep the colon more regular,” he says. “However, engaging in activities

that increase abdominal pressure and/or straining (such as weightlifting) can lead to the

formation of hemorrhoids.” Staying active reduces your time spent sitting and

putting pressure on the veins in your lower rectum. If you have a history of problematic

hemorrhoids, you might want to steer clear of lifting heavy weights or other strenuous

activities and opt for more moderate exercise routines such as yoga, swimming, or

walking to prevent hemorrhoids from flaring.

4. Be Careful When It Comes to Laxatives

When you’re constipated, some fiber supplements, particularly psyllium capsules,

have a track record of helping get you more regular, which can prevent painful

hemorrhoids. As far as laxatives go, they can help as long as you choose the correct

ones. “The safest laxatives are those that work with your body rather than those that

stimulate or simulate normal physiological activities,” Kussin says. “Some laxatives

work by stimulating intestinal contraction to move the contents along. This might

increase hemorrhoid pressures and cause symptoms.” To prevent hemorrhoids or to

treat hemorrhoids that are active, Kussin suggests osmotic laxatives that simply

increase the amount of water in the gut and reduceconstipation.

5. Don’t Fight the Urge

When you have to go, go. This is one of the simplest ways to prevent hemorrhoids.

“Ignoring Mother Nature has its risks, and hemorrhoids are one of them,” Kussin says.

“If you obey your body when it screams at you, the chance of problems is less.

You listen to everyone else when they scream at you; why not listen to your own body, too?

When you wait until you decide you have the time to move your bowels, success will be

far more elusive and straining far more likely.”

6. Avoid Straining

Straining and putting more pressure on the veins in your rectum is one of the most

common causes of painful or bleeding hemmorhoids. In some cases, this can happen

as a result of pushing too hard when trying to have a bowel movement. Other situations

can cause straining too, such as lifting heavy objects, a chronic cough, or

even pregnancy. If you have issues with hemorrhoids, Kussin advises being aware of

the strain you’re putting on your bowels and avoiding it as much as you can.
