• Studies show that hemorrhoids often develop after a bout of constipation. And the best way to prevent constipation is to stay well hydrated. In fact, a research published by the National Institutes of Health found that patients with acute thrombosed external hemorrhoids were prone to “stagnation of blood and trauma to the anal vessels due to strain”…of forcefully attempting to pass a bowel movement.

1. Stay Hydrated

Many of us hold our bowel movements—if we're stuck in traffic, trying to finish a work project, or it's just an inopportune moment. However, if you have the urge to go, don't fight gravity, just find a washroom and go!

Research from the Cleveland Clinic shows that holding in a bowel movement for excessive periods can cause stool to dry up and harden in the bowel as the intestines leech water away.

2. Don't Hold it When You’ve Got to Go

According to Prevention Magazine, the best thing you can do to prevent hemorrhoids is to fill up on fiber. After all, research indicates that individuals with little dietary fiber in their eating regimen are prone to repeated bouts of constipation—and thus, at risk for hemorrhoids.You’re doctor has likely told you, especially as you age, that fiber is the key to regularity. In fact, U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend roughly 30-grams of fiber per day—from food. Sources such as whole grains, fruits (with peels), beans, legumes, and veggies willprovide adequate fiber.

Research from Harvard Health shows a direct correlation between an active lifestyle and decreased risk of hemorrhoids. For instance, exercise is the key to healthy, regular bowel movements, not to mention the fact that it prevents all sorts of chronic conditions (i.e., cardiovascular disease).Harvard recommends approximately 30-minutes of daily cardiovascular exercise to keep your digestive system and bowels operating properly. You don’t have to run a marathon. Try walking after dinner or using your bike to cycle to and from the office to get in your daily aerobic activity.
