Common Hemorrhoid Causes
There are several causes that can contribute to hemorrhoids and it is quite common that those afflicted can suffer from more than one cause. Combined factors can increase the intensity or frequency of occurrences.Most causes are related to circulatory and colon health. Proper diet and exercise is the best preventative and long term solution. However, here is no cure for hemorrhoids. Surgery is definitely not a cure. But, with the right supplementation, exercise and nutrition, the frequency and severity of future outbreaks can be diminished.

We do not recommend surgery except as an option of last resort. Many sufferers have had surgical techniques performed only to see their Hemorrhoids return time and time again. Also, many of the popular creams, ointments and suppositories only offer temporary relief and many actually prolong the agony of Hemorrhoids.
