2.     Drink Plenty of Fluids- Drink six to eight glasses of water and other liquids (not alcohol) each day to help keep stools soft.

3.     Consider Fiber Suppliments- Most people don’t get enough of the recommended amount of fiber- 20 to 30 grams a day - in their diet. Studies have shown that over-the-counter fiber suppliments, such as psyllium (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel), improve overall symptoms and bleeding from haemorrhoids.

If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids everyday. Otherwise, the supplements can cause or worsen constipation.

4.     Don’t Strain- Straining and holding your breath when trying to pass a stool creates greater pressure in the veins in the lower rectum.

6.     Exercise- stay active to help prevent constipation and to reduce pressure on veins, which can occur with long periods of standing or sitting. Exercise can also help you lose excess weight that might be contributing to your haemorrhoids.

7.     Avoid long periods of sitting- Sitting too long particularly on the toilet, can increase the pressure on the veins in the anus.
