- Sitting for a prolonged period of time, especially on a toilet
- Straining during pooping
- Chronic constipation that went bad
- Family history of dealing with hemorrhoids
First and foremost, it’s always good to stop spending so much time on the toilet – preferably less than 10-15 minutes. And avoid any straining during pooping. If hemorrhoids run in your family, you need to be extra cautious. These are some of the precautions you might take:
- Drink a lot of water to prevent hard stools
- Exercise regularly to prevent constipation
- Avoid sitting for too long, especially on tough surfaces
- Make your diet high in fiber. Brown rice, pears, whole wheat, carrots, oatmeal, all of these are gonna do wonders for your stool.
