can postponing bowel movements cause hemorrhoids, i.e. holding your crap in for toooooo long?

Answer 1

yes and it can also make your kidneys fail

Answer 2

It may be hard to have a bowel movement because hormones slow the rate of food passing through the gastrointestinal tract and the uterus pushes against the large intestine. Constipation contributes to hemorrhoids because straining to have a bowel movement may enlarge the veins of the rectum.

The best way to combat both hemorrhoids and constipation is to prevent them. Eat a diet rich in fiber — whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of fluids every day. Exercise regularly. Use stool softeners (laxatives should only be taken under the guidance of a health care provider). And try not to stand or sit for long periods of time — both put pressure on the veins in your lower body.

To help relieve hemorrhoid pain, soak in a tub or use over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams and/or witch hazel pads. Ice packs on the painful area may also provide a little much-needed relief.

Answer 3

YES. IF YOU CANNOT SEEM TO GO ON A REGULAR DAILY BASIS, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE SOME FORM OF FIBER / STOOL SOFTNER AND OR LAXITIVE TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACK. TO HOLD THIS INSIDE IS TO HOLD HARMFUL TOXINS/ POISIONS IN THE BODY. THIS IS DEFINATELY NO ISSUE TO MAKE LIGHT OF. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF.

Answer 4
