Can Hemorrhoids Cause Constipation

So, can hemorrhoids cause constipation? Hemorrhoids and constipation are often tied together and one does cause the other. However, it is more likely that its your constipation that is causing your hemorrhoids and not the other way around. Actually, constipation and hard stools are the leading cause of getting hemorrhoids. This is from all the added pressure from straining while trying to have a bowel movement.

Since constipation is the leading cause of getting hemorrhoids, if you make changes in your life to deal with the constipation you will give your hemorrhoids time to heal. 


What Causes Constipation?
  • Alcohol - If you drink 3 or more glasses of alcohol a day or drink to intoxication then the alcohol can cause constipation and hard stools. Alcohol can dehydrate your body that's why you have dry mouth when you wake up in the morning after a night of drinking. When your body is dehydrated it will try and fined water where ever it can so it will absorb water from your bowel in your large intestine. This lack of water in your bowel will cause hard dry stools and constipation. If you have to have a drink after work or you want to go out. Don't drink more than 2 glasses of alcohol a night and then drink several glasses of water the rest of the night and this will help. 
  • Bad Diet - If you have a bad diet lacking in fiber this can cause constipation. If you start eating natural high fiber foods and drink more water then your stools will be a lot softer and you will be more regular. Do not jump into eating a high fiber diet. You should increase your fiber slowly over a few weeks, otherwise you can plug yourself up and cause more problems.
  • Exercise - If you are a couch potato and don't exercise regularly then your bowel can build up and cause constipation. Doing simple exercises like walking will help with digestion and get things moving in the right direction. Walking will also help with blood circulation and it will help reduce inflamed hemorrhoids. 
  • Medication - Some strong medications can cause constipation. If this is happening to you then talk to your doctor and see if there is an alternative medication. Walking and eating natural high fiber foods and drinking more water could help counter the medication problem. But always talk to a doctor first before doing this.
