Preventing Hemorrhoids In Pregnant Women

By Heather-Jane Hunter

More than 4% of the American population live with hemorrhoids. For pregnant women, this percentage dramatically increases due to a number of factors, most importantly the excess pressure placed on veins in and around the anal canal.

Hemorrhoid prevention during pregnancy can save you a lot of time, inconvenience, pain, and money. Hemorrhoids can usually be prevented when the correct steps are taken. Small changes in your daily lifestyle can be the difference between months of pain and suffering.

Hemorrhoids during pregnancy can results in massive pain during bowel movement. Constant irritation is another common complaint, itching of the anus, being unable to sit down and pain when walking, as well as bleeding from the anal passage. Leakage is also a problem whenever bleeding occurs as it can stain clothes and cause embarrassment.

Useful Ways to Prevent Hemorrhoids

Mild exercise during pregnancy (20 minutes per day) will help reduce the chance you get hemorrhoids by keeping your metabolic system in peak condition. When you have a strong metabolism you will be less likely to become constipated which is the biggest cause of hemorrhoids.

One of the keys to hemorrhoid prevention is to ensure you have plenty of fiber in your diet. Fiber softens stools allowing them to pass through the bowels with less irritation. Eating plenty of foods such as fruits and vegetables with provide your body with a high level of fiber.

Water is the other extremely important part of a good diet designed to prevent hemorrhoids. Two liters of water per day will keep your stools moist (softer) and also encourage regular bowel movement.
