Can someone tell me how people prevent bleeding hemorhhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure of diagnosis: Hemorrhoids shouldn't bleed and not all bleeding is caused by hemorrhoids. No bleeding is normal. Get it checked out!at 50 you should have had a colonoscopy. If not get one! once confirmed as only due to hemorrhoids, eat high fiber diet, drink 80-100oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluids daily, dont read on toilet and stop straining.
