Hemorrhoids are embarrassing and not a pleasant subject to talk about even with your relatives or healthcare specialist. However, hemorrhoids just like any other diseases is quite a common problem for both men and women.  Given the typical Western diet and lifestyle which include stress and too little exercise with improper diet, hemorrhoids can occur anytime to anybody especially the old ones. 

There are two kinds of hemorrhoids; the internal and the external. But before you can diagnose a disease, you must first find out its symptoms. For internal hemorrhoid, the patient is likely to suffer a presence of bright red blood usually found in toilet papers after the bowel movement. Internal hemorrhoids has the possibility to protrude through the anus which can make the patient feel irritated and in pain.

External hemorrhoids on the other hand will likely to have symptoms like swelling or lump (blood clot) around the anus. This is also called a thrombosed external hemorrhoid and can be  very painful than the other one. 

If a person suffers from any of these symptoms especially rectal bleeding, it is necessary to consult a doctor for proper medication. Rectal bleeding could be something else worst than hemorrhoids. 

On the other hand, home remedies and treatment can be applied to prevent hemorrhoids from getting worst. Eating fiber-rich foods, drinking plenty of pure water, regular exercise, taking high quality pro-biotic and control of emotional stress are just some of the effective remedies to get rid of hemorrhoids.
