Remedy Hemorrhoids – When Constipation Just Isn’t The Trigger
Friday, April 20th, 2012“
Of course, this is generally good advice for all aspects of health.
But, in relation to hemorrhoids, it implies that the cause is constipation.
While it’s true that constipation is a contributing factor in many cases of hemorrhoids, there are many other causes which seem to be widely unknown (at least by the authors of many articles). You might be surprised to know that excessive diarrhea or over-use of laxatives is also a common culprit – eating more fruit and fibre is not going to help in this situation. In fact, this is one of the reasons for my caution and concern in recommending laxative products.
Many hemorrhoid books and articles suggest taking herbal laxatives such as senna. Apart from senna having other possible side-effects, it can actually worsen hemorrhoids. Senna (and some other laxatives) can be addictive – meaning it is difficult to have a bowel movement without them. Your body becomes dependent on them, and the more your take, the less effective they can become.
