Is Rafaelo for you?
Hemorrhoids are associated with increased pressure in the blood vessels in and around the anus. This allows the blood vessels to swell and become inflamed.
Many of us will experience the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids at some point in our lives.
There are several causes for hemorrhoids
• Constipation, resulting in excessive effort on the toilet.
• Being overweight or obese, increasing pressure on the vascular system in general.
• Age at which the supporting tissues of the body weaken, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids.
• Pregnancy and increased pressure on the pelvic blood vessels.
• Poor diet due to insufficient fiber.
• Regularly lifting heavy objects.
• A persistent cough or repeated vomiting.
• Sitting posture for a long time.
• Family history.
