Hemmroids, most commonly known as Hemorrhoids (the proper term) are abnormally large sacs of varicose veins, tissue and mucous membranes in the rectum. Hemmroids is also one of the most common anorectal disorders affecting approximately 5% of the entire population. So that's about 336 million people suffering from hemmroids as of September 2008.

Hemmroid's most common symptoms are : Presence of blood in the stool, Feeling of obstruction caused by swollen veins in the anus, Protruding lumps hanging from the anus, Itching and inflammation around the anus.

Hemmroid causes : includes long periods of sitting or standing, lifting heavy objects, dehydration, obesity and lack of exercise, but without a doubt the largest factor is constipation and straining during defecation which resulted from poor eating habits and diet. Hemmroids often develop during pregnancy because of the pressure the fetus exerts in the abdominal area, as well as the hormonal changes that cause the veins to enlarge. Stress is another cause of hemmroid.

Hemmroid Diagnosis/Test : It is diagnosed based on a rectal examination. To diagnose internal hemmroids, the doctor will insert an anoscope , a thin, lighted tube to view the lower rectum. A colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy may also be performed to examine the inside of the colon and rule out any other causes of bleeding.

• If you have hemmroids, one way to get rid of your hemmroid is the need to have regular bowel movements When you go into the bathroom, go in there to have a bowel movement. Don't take a newspaper, magazine, or book to read because that keeps you in there longer. Sitting for long periods on the toilet puts pressure on your rectum and anal veins. This long sit will eventually leads to hemmroids or aggravates the hemmroids you already have. So, you don't want to sit there longer than necessary.

• And for sure, don't strain and push to have a bowel movement. This is a sure way to enlarge your hemeoriods. If your stools don't want to come out don’t force it and just wait for the urge.

• If you have a job where you have to sit all day, get up and walk around every hour or as often as you can.

• You also need to exercise if you want to get rid of hemmroids. A daily fast walk around a few blocks is the best. Yoga is also very helpful, since it helps to stretch colon and anus muscles, and revive circulation. Any exercise you do will be helpful. Another exercise to do is on a rebounder. A rebounder exercises every part of your body and helps to force your lymph liquid into the lymph nodes for detoxification. This will help you to recover from any condition you might have quicker.

• The other exercise that you can do is an anus exercise. You do this by pushing down like if you are going to have a bowel movement and then pull back. Do this for a few minutes. This will help to build the tissue in that area and to bring new blood to remove the toxins that build up in that area.

• Drink more water. You need water for fiber to work and to help your stool softens.

• Eat more high-fiber foods, which will help prevent constipation. Good sources of fiber include breakfast cereals such as All Bran, Fiber One, Bran Buds, which have approximately 10 grams of fiber per serving. Check the box to be sure. Fresh fruit, beans, prunes, raw or cooked vegetables, especially asparagus, cabbage, carrots, corn, and broccoli, are also good sources of fiber. Try to have 20-30 grams of fiber per day (or more) in your diet.

• Hemmroids can be surgically removed but post-operative pain can make this an unpleasant experience. In addition, stitches often break during bowel movements soon after the hemmroid surgery. Infection is a common problem after this procedure. Thrombosed hemmroids generally must be treated surgically, though.

• In another surgical procedure, veins are stapled back into place. This is usually used for prolapsed hemeoroids. Recovery can be painful. Infection is also common. In rare cases, the internal anal sphincter can be damaged.

• Laser treatment is another option. Lasers are used to shrink the hemmroids. Multiple treatments may be required.

You can do all the things for preventing hemmroids and constipation, but if you do not exercise regularly, it will be hard to get rid of hemmroids and even constipation. So plan to exercise, it is good for life and not just good for hemmroids and constipation. Keeping regular with easy flowing bowel movements and regular exercise can help you reduce or even prevent hemeriods. But to get rid of hemmroids, you will need to make sure you are not constipated. Constipation is the cause of hemmroids.

As you can see, the medical methods of how to get rid of hemmroids carry some significant risks.
