Hemorroids: The best way to avoid the problem is to have a healthy diet with abundant water and fiber.
Also keeping your weight under control and avoiding straining.
Once the problem starts you may need to see a surgeon to have them removed

Bowel regimen: Long term your best solution to constipation is to use fiber, increased fluid intake, stool softeners, and laxatives, to achieve 2 soft bowel movements per day, no straining. Okay to check in with your doc about piles/hemorrhoids.
