Despite getting a healthy diet and exercise everyday, a person can possibly still get hemorrhoids. Most middle aged persons and at least 50% of the population will have hemorrhoids at some time in their lives, particularly between the ages of 40 and 65. This is because there are circumstances in our lives that we can't avoid to happen.For instance, getting pregnant. One of the causes of hemorrhoids among women is pregnancy and childbirth. If one is pregnant, additional weight is being carried by your body that adds to the stress particularly on the rectum and the veins surrounding the area. As the baby in the mother's womb grows, the more pressure it gives to your body.
Another one is straining yourself from doing heavy work. Of course some of us have to the heavy work for a living and unknowingly, the daily job that they are doing can be a be a cause of hemorrhoids. Carrying or lifting things that are too heavy puts much pressure on the rectum.
Some other causes of hemorrhoids can be avoided by eating the right food and getting daily exercise but when the cause of hemorrhoids is not obvious or unavoidable, you can still take control and get rid of them by using a hemorrhoid treatment to relieve its symptoms.
