What No One Tells You About Hemorrhoids (And How to Fix Them Naturally)
Types of Hemorrhoids and Their Symptoms
Most of us will experience hemorrhoids at some point. Whether caused by straining, pregnancy, weight gain, or improper lifting, they result in swollen veins in the rectum or anus that are painful and uncomfortable.
Types of Hemorrhoids and Their Symptoms
External Hemorrhoids: These are found under the skin around the anus and may cause itching, irritation, pain or tenderness, swelling, and bleeding.
Internal Hemorrhoids: Located inside the rectum, these are often painless but may result in bright red blood during bowel movements or prolapse through the anal opening.
Thrombosed Hemorrhoids: These occur when a clot forms in an external hemorrhoid. Symptoms include sharp or intense pain, swelling, inflammation, and a firm lump near the anus.
10 Natural Tips to Relieve Hemorrhoids
There are plenty of gentle, natural ways to help ease the discomfort that comes with hemorrhoids. These tips are focused on calming irritation, improving regularity, and supporting better skin comfort overall:
- Use witch hazel pads: Naturally cooling and soothing for irritated skin.
- Take sitz baths: Soak in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to help relax the area.
- Eat more fiber: Include berries, beans, oats, avocado, and whole grains to keep things moving.
- Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated helps soften stools and reduce strain.
- Exercise regularly: Even a brisk walk each day can support digestion and circulation.
- Go when you need to: Don’t delay bowel movements, as holding it in can make things worse.
- Use a cushion: Sitting on soft surfaces reduces pressure and discomfort.
- Try Epsom salt soaks: Add to a warm bath to help ease tension and promote comfort.
- Avoid straining: Take your time in the bathroom and breathe normally.
- Clean gently: Rinse with water and skip harsh soaps or wipes that can irritate the area.

Understanding Anal Fissures
Fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus. They are often confused with hemorrhoids due to similar symptoms.
Causes: Fissures can result from hard or large stools, straining, chronic constipation or diarrhea, or minor injuries to the area.
Symptoms: These include sharp pain during or after bowel movements, bright red blood on the stool or tissue, and persistent itching or discomfort around the anus.
To support healing, focus on increasing fiber and hydration, taking warm baths, practicing gentle hygiene, and avoiding strain. For targeted relief, H-Fissures Formula is a gentle and effective natural option that supports skin recovery.
