It is likely that constipation is at the root of your current symptoms that are suggesting hemorrhoids causing the pain and bleeding. Proper hydration, diet and physical exercise help the most in the long run.

You may be passing hard stools and have hemorrhoids. It would be prudent to see a doctor for hemorrhoids. For hard stools - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods
