Hello. : Hello. Start with ensuring that you drink at least 8 - 8 ounces of water every day. You need fluid to lubricate stool. Ensure that you are getting regular exercise (to keep your bowels moving). Get plenty of fiber in your diet from fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains. A very fast way to help the hemorrhoids resolve is medical acupuncture.

Fiber supplement: Public thinks of fiber as a laxative but it is not. It is a bowel regulator so if going too much can slow down. Tablespoon daily
