Fruits and vegetables protect you from hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids can have a variety of causes, such as lifting and heavy lifting, but also being exposed to psychological pressure or severe stress. They can be infected with hemorrhoids due to constant constipation, pregnancy and childbirth for women.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins of the anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. They are due to a number of reasons. The cause is often unknown, but may be due to pressure during defecation or increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids can exist in the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or occur under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).

Hemorrhoids are very common, with almost three in four adults, and sometimes no symptoms but sometimes itching, pain and bleeding.
