Yes.You r exactly: correct.I concur ( as best as is possible without an exam). A hemorrhoid is just a dialated vein CAUSED by pushing/straining.Stop doing that.It may get better,if you stop.Therefore,it's important to keep your stools soft with a daily diet high in fiber.Who do u know if it's enough?If you r having soft,daily BM's without the need to strain/push.C ur doc if stays irritated or need to strain persists
