Prevention And Treatment Of Hemorrhoids

To prevent hemorrhoids, it is important to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. By moving, we mobilize our bowels, strengthen our muscles and prevent constipation.

Hemorrhoids usually appear from the age of forty. The diagnosis must be made  by a specialist doctor, the proctologist, who will then advise you on the most suitable type of treatment for hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids reveal their inconvenient reality just through their own etymological meaning: “blood flow”.

If you have them, you should know that they are normally due to inflammation of the veins located in the anus. They are shaped like pads and hold the stool.

It is very easy to see their presence. We then feel a burning sensation in the rectum. Bleeding is also possible when having a bowel movement.

The reality of this pathology is that sometimes, out of modesty or shame, many people do not dare to go to their doctor and prefer to seek treatment on their own.
