Hemorrhoids remedies come in various shapes, sizes and forms. Some are topical, which are applied externally and come in the form of liquids, creams or lotions and these are put directly on the affected area. Some are homeopathic remedies which are ingested or sprayed under the tongue for fast absorption. Other "remedies" might involve lifestyle suggestions or even home remedies which are made up from household ingredients.

HOW COMMON ARE HEMORRHOIDS

Hemorrhoids are extremely common and affect at least 10% of the population at any one time. Despite this, it is still an extremely embarrassing topic of conversation, with many finding the subject difficult to discuss even with their own family or their doctor.

Many people suffer from the condition repeatedly and find that no sooner have they got rid of a hemorrhoid, another one appears. It is therefore important to understand what the causes of hemorroids are.

WHAT CAUSES HEMORRHOIDS

* Too much pressure on the blood vessels around the pelvic area and rectum (possibly caused by sitting down for too long)

* The rectal tissue can swell if straining takes place on the toilet

* Being overweight

* The weight of the developing baby in pregnancy can cause pressure on the blood vessels

* Straining during the delivery of a baby can cause hemorrhoids

* Constipation and diarrhea can both cause pressure on the rectal blood vessels, thus causing hemorrhoids
