How to prevent hemorrhoids?
A healthy lifestyle with a high-fiber diet and plenty of water are important in good gastrointestinal health and ultimately helps prevent hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are a pressure-related phenomenon and so healthy bathroom habits are also important with limited time spent sitting on a toilet. That means no newspapers, magazines, or, these days, no cell phones/tablets in the bathroom. Unfortunately, some people have jobs that require lots of lifting (which increases pressure) and, unfortunately, women have the added stress of pregnancy and labor that are unavoidable parts of life that can make hemorrhoids worse.
