What are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids is a condition where veins in or around the rectum and anus become swollen and inflamed. The person will experience irritation, discomfort, and in some cases pain in the affected area and hemorrhoids can be caused by straining during bowel movements, prolonged periods seated, obesity, straining from lifting, or eating a diet that doesn't have enough fiber. Women may also get hemorrhoids when pregnant. As people age there is more of a chance of getting hemorrhoids.

Directions

Ensure the bowel is empty and area is clean and use for thumb and forefinger to insert suppository into rectum until it passes the muscle sphincter. Hold buttocks for 5 seconds and for some people it is helpful to remain lying down for 5 minutes. Repeat up to 6 times daily as needed for hemorrhoid relief.
