Does sitting a lot make hemorrhoids worse? i've had them for 2 yrs and they periodically act up/bleed. i sit a lot during the day. how to improve them

Hemorrhoid veins: You may be able to avoid irritating the hemorrhoids. Drink plenty of liquids, eat high fiber foods like fruits & vegetables, take fiber supplements like metamucil, avoid constipation and straining or sitting too long at the toilet. Suppositories may relieve a little. See a surgeon for possible hemorrhoid banding procedure if persistent problems.
