Hämorrhoiden are caused by many factors including age, diet or eating habits, lifting heavy things, constipation, maternity and genetic issues. Although there are some causes that can be controlled, other cannot. The most important thing is that treatment is approached in a timely manner that can intervene on the condition before it gets too severe. This will also ensure that further complications are prevented in the future.  Eating habits can greatly alter the condition if it is not too severe.

Eating food like fruits with a lot of roughage and fiber will have an effect on constipation and will reduce the effects or even prevent them all together. Hämorrhoiden treatments are many thus you should find the one that suits the extent of your condition.
