How can you solve internal hemorrhoids causing constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reverse that: Other way around -- hemorrhoids are exacerbated by constipation and the "pushing" necessary. Foods high in fat tend to constipate you. Foods high in fiber favor looser stools. Fruits vegetable, whole grains are excellent sources of fiber. Also, fiber only works if u are well hydrated. Drink plenty fluids to keep stools soft. Don't sit for long periods on the toilet.
