These things will help to decrease hemorrhoids:
- Decrease fibre in diet. Fibre is also known as bulking agent or roughage. What it does is increase the size of stools, which makes hemorrhoids worse.
- Also do not squat to defecate.
- Do not read in toilet.
- Do not spend too much time in the toilet.
