If you just used the washroom and noticed blood on the tissue paper or in the toilet don't panic.
This means that your hemorrhoid is bleeding and it could be bleeding for many reasons.
Some of these reasons could be 1) You are pushing to hard when using the washroom.
This causes small veins to burst and form a hemorrhoid.
2) Constipation caused by a poor diet.
This added pressure on the lower intestines can also lead to this painful problem.
3) Dehydration.
If you are not drinking enough water you maybe pushing to hard for no reason.
Water helps the body in many great ways.
One way is lubricating the stomach to help eliminate waste easier.
4) Not enough fiber.
It seems that getting fiber is important but most of us lack in it.
Fiber helps bulk up or compact waste.
This puts less work into pushing it out.
Dehydration is one of the major factors that affects people with this problem.
Dehydration occurs when there is a lack of water in the body and the body will automatically save water from places it can.
One of these places is the stomach and intestines.
When your body starts to draw water from these areas your stool will harden and constipation may occur.
This in turn makes it more difficult for you to use the washroom and could result in a hemorrhoid.
Now that you know why this happens lets look at how to fix the problem.
Drink lots of water.
This is very important to do.
Try creams or over the counter drugs like Preparation-H.
This can help ease pain and discomfort.
Put an ice pack or ice in a plastic bag on the areas that are bleeding.
This can reduce swelling and help the body heal.
Warm baths after applying ice are also great.
