http://bit.ly13hanl::- Hemorrhoids are usually caused by increased pressure on the veins in the pelvic and rectal area. As pressure increases, blood pools in veins and causes them to swell. Eventually, the swollen veins stretch the surrounding tissue, and hemorrhoids develop.
Home treatment is usually the first step in treating hemorroids. This includes adjusting your diet to avoid constipation, drinking more fluids, using a stool softener, and using ointments to relieve symptoms.
