Hemmeroids. I was told they come from gaining weight

I always thought they were from straining too much when you poop since they are enlarged rectal veins. If you want to get rid of them, focus on eating more fiber, don't sit on the toilet for too long and drink enough fluids. I know there is a surgery for them.

you can have them surgical removed, or shrink them with anusal or preparation h

My doctor told me that everyone has hemorrhoids. Its just a little bit of skin sometimes on the outside, and sometimes on the inside. Everyone has the extra skin, but not everyone has "flare ups" I am pretty skinny, and for me, weight has not effected my problem. I am not sure why it happens to some people, and not others. I do know that pregnant people tend to have this problem, and never again after they give birth. I dont think there is a sure answer in your question, just theories. Sorry about the problem, I know its not any fun, nor comfortable, nor pleasant !

If you have them you will always have them. I got them when I was pregnant and they never went away. I have had them for 6 years now. Most days they are fine but then others I want to die. I asked the doctor how to get rid of them and he told me the only way is surgery to remove the inflamed skin. The only thing you can do is to use hemeroid cream or pads to relieve the pain. I also know the more you stress your bum the more they inflame. You know like a really tough poo can cause them to get irritated and inflame. I make sure to keep them clean and use pads or cream as needed. I know they are a pain in the butt....no pun intened LOL... but theres not a whole lot you can do. Just keep them happy and dont strain yourself.

There is a very informative article on wikipedia. Basically, many things can cause it to fare up such as pregnancy, menopause, obesity, wearing tight clothing, and straining during bowel movements. Here is the direct article to wikipedia. It's very informative and has external links to learn more about the condition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemorrhoid Pablo

Are you taking calcium supplements? I know that if you're on calcium, you need to take enough magnesium to avoid constipation. Constipation could be causing the hemorrhoids. If you're taking 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium, you'll need 500 to 600 mg of magnesium, or 1/2 of magnesium to calcium. Stool softeners also help. Of course, you probably know about trying to get enough fiber, and drinking enough water.

If they are too bothersome, you may have to have surgery and that is not fun either. They can get better, but I know one guy that had to go get his drained about every two months. Corn starch helps alot.

preperation H usually does the job to get rid of them . but they do come back. It has mostly to doing with strain. Drinking to much acholhl, setting on cold things.

Your weight may be a factor - but my first husband weighed next to nothing and had them because he sat in a truck all day. His doctor recomended not sitting so long and eating lots of fiber.

I don't know if hemeroids is genetic but I don't think it's caused by gaining weight. I know skinny people that have it. Did a physicial tell you this? If yes then you can disregard what I said.

I had them once right after I gave birth with my 1st child but it was caused by my pushing too hard during delivery. But after a month or so, it just returned back to normal and I never have them again even after a gave birth to my second child. A lot of people said that its because of straining too hard or because of gaining weight. One reason could be weaker muscle tone too in that area. I suggest you consult a doctor since that could really get very uncomfortable.

Well there are alot of things that can cause them.Gaining a lot of weight is one of the ways you can get them. I first got mine when I was pregnant, and put on 70 pounds. Mine would get so bad I would have to go to thehospital to get them lanced.But after I had my baby, they were still very bad,so I had hemeroid surgury,this was over 25 years ago.i still have problems with them.

Don't doctors like to say everything is because of weight gain? lol That is only one cause of hemorrhoids. There are about as many treatments for them as there are reasons for them. I think a really good place to look for information on them is mayo clinic dot com. Try there and see if you are interested in any of the other treatments besides actual surgery. I would also talk to a specialist about it and not my regular doctor. Specialists are more up-to-date on new treatments. Good luck!

It has nothing to do with losing or gaining weight other than when you are heavy your body tends to put pressure on your bowels. I have had bad hemmoriods on a couple periods of time. I got them when I was pregnant with my first child and after suffering from them for about 5 years I finally got them operated on. I was so glad when I got them cut out and had no more problems for about 3 years, till I got pregnant again. I then got them back even worse than I had them the first time and this time I didn;t wait to get them cut out. I got them removed again about 2 months after I had my second child. That was 25 years ago and I don't have any trouble with them anymore. thank goodness

Hemmeroids are varacose veins in the rectal area,and i think anyone of any age or weight can get them...I do not think they will go away just by losing weight...it could however cause you to have more problems with them if you gain weight because of the heaviness of the pressure of the weight..Hemmeroids come & go,they flair up at times and then other times they will not be such a bother...

Weight sometimes is a factor in having hemmroids, but if you are not significantly overweight it shouldn't be a problem. I am pretty heavy and I don't have them that often. Sometimes sitting for long periods of time will also cause them. There are a number of reasons why you could have them. I don't know that they are hereditary though. Most often, if you sit for too long, have stomach problems that you go to the bathroom often to "poo" that will also cause irritation and eventually hemmroids.

It could be partially genetics, diet too. As we age our body doesn't process stuff like it used to. As I get older I'm having this unfortunate problem. I have to watch what I eat and make sure I have soluable fiber in abundance. Sugar, processed foods sure don't help and I suffer the consequences. I don't think they ever go away completely, but would be interested in a medical opinion. whit

I think they are caused by bowel strain and probably other things as well. I only got them when I was pregnant but my brother gets them frequently. There are many meds...over the counter for them. I'm sure if you search on line you can find a natural cure. My brother went to the doctors for his and was in much more pain afterwards. If you see the doctor on it ....choose one you trust.

I am not 100% sure what causes them but It would make sense that maybe gaining weight would cause them. I know that straining and pushing causes them, like when having a baby or being constipated. But I have been told that they never go away. You may not have pain or irritation from them all they time but they will be there. Try talking with your doctor about how to make it more bearable.
