Hemorrhoids, which are also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in our anus and rectum. They may result from straining during during a bowel movement or the increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy, among other causes.

• Constipation and the accompanying straining.
• Diarrhea and the continuous expulsion of loose stools.
• Sitting or standing for a long time, especially sitting on the toilet.
• Obesity.
• Pregnancy and childbirth.
  

• Internal hemorrhoids: You can't see or feel these hemorrhoids. But straining or irritation from passing stool can injure a hemorrhoid's delicate surface and cause it to bleed. You may notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl water. Because internal anal membranes lack pain-sensitive nerve fibers, these hemorrhoids usually don't cause discomfort. Occasionally, straining can push an internal hemorrhoid through the anal opening. If a hemorrhoid remains displaced (prolapsed), it can cause pain and irritation.
• External hemorrhoids: These hemorrhoids tend to be painful. Sometimes blood may pool in an external hemorrhoid and form a clot (thrombus), causing severe pain, swelling and inflammation. When irritated, external hemorrhoids can itch or bleed.

• Smear warm almonds oil on the hemorrhoids for relief.
• Apply some baking soda to help with the itch from the hemorrhoids.
• Mix sliced onion and honey, put some on a cotton wool pad and apply on the hemorrhoids for 3 hours.
• Chop onions and garlic cloves, put on a cotton wool pad and wait for 3 hours. Then apply on the hemorrhoids.
• Drink 1 spoon of olive oil every morning.
• Blanch 4gm of passion fruit to 1/4 cup of water; use a cloth to apply on the hemorrhoids.
• Use lemon regularly to treat hemorrhoids.
• Drink chamomile tea
• Yemeni med: Put one teaspoon of grind fenugreek seeds (Hilba) in a glass of boiling water, add sugar or honey and drink 3 times daily.
• Fill up a tub with potatoes flour or corn flour, sit in the tub and relax for a while.
• Grind carrot or beet, put in the refrigerator, when cool put in a big cloth and drain (leave some juice); put the cloth on the hemorrhoids.
  

• Eat high-fiber foods: Eat more fruits, vegetables and grains. Doing sp softens the stool and increases its bulk, which will help lessen the straining that can cause hemorrhoids or worsen symptoms from existing hemorrhoids.
• Drink plenty of liquids: The exact amount of water and other fluids each day varies and depends on your age, sex, health, activity level and other factors.
• Exercise: Stay active to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting, and to help prevent constipation. Exercise can also help you lose weight that may be contributing to your hemorrhoids.
• Avoid long periods of standing or sitting: Sitting too long, particularly sitting on the toilet for long periods can increase the pressure on the veins of the anus.
• Don’t strain: Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.
