No. Hemorrhoids are caused by constipation. It’s when your stools are hard and you have to strain to go, and it hurts to go.
You need to take a stool softener every day. Generic ducosate sodium 100Mg’s will soften your stools. You can take 2 every day. They are completely safe. You can talk to the pharmacist if you have any doubts.
You should start taking Metamucil or Citrucel 1-3 times a day. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, and EXERCISE!! 25 minutes of cardio 5-6 times a week. Brisk walking, dancing, running, treadmill, bike, anything that you can do without stopping for 25 minutes or longer without stopping. (Work gradually up to 25 minutes.)
Eat lots of fiber (in cereals, bread, read labels!) and drink lots of WATER. Try to cut out soda pop, sugar, and white flour.
If you do have a hemmorhoid, you need to see your doctor. It will not go away by itself. The doc will give you suppositores and have you sit in a tub of hot water. But then you need to prevent more! Keep a laxative in the house, just for emergencies. Something like Dulcolax is gentle and works overnight.
Then do everything I told you and constipation will no longer be a problem!
