It stools are: Hard, dry ; difficult to pass - you are likely constipated. It is important to try not to get hemorrhoids in the first place. Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active.

Add fiber to: Your diet- fruits , vegetables, bran, drink a lot of fluids, prune juice is good. These things will help relieve your constipation.
