Hi. I had the same problem 1 month ago. I had never, ever had them before but I strained while going for a poo. Unfortunatley I was working on a residential holiday and had to suffered for 4 days in agony before I could do anything about it. When I say agony I really mean it too. Straining is the biggest causeof Piles followed by bad diet. Please tell him to go to the chemist and get Anusol Cream, apply it and within 4 days it will be completely gone. Within 24 hours he will no longer be in discomfort. Do it now! Go! buy some for him! Also tell him not to worry, that if his diet is ok and he does not strain again he will be fine.

Good old hemerrhoids. Gotta love 'em.
Preparation H can really help - it will go away on its own, so it's all about getting more comfortable. Preparation H will help to reduce the swelling and provide some relief. Judicious application of vaseline both around and into your brother's bum will help him with his next bowle movement - I know, it's kinda gross, but when you're suffering... he'll be happy to have this tip, trust me!
And finally - if he's really really uncomfortable you can try an ice pack.
For both now and the future - he needs to increase his fibre intake. Lots of fruits and veggies, and healthy liquids (like water, milk, juice - not so many soft drinks) Stay away from the bran and stuff - it's pretty irritating to the colon and all, and will just make it worse.

Hemmoroids are common among all people. It is a swelling of the tissues of the rectum and can be itching, painfull or sometimes bleeding. I was told once to cut down on spicy foods, do not sit on cold,damp surfaces like metal or cement. Sit on wood only or else use a cushion outdoors. There are ointments you can use, preparation H and I am sure there are others. A hot bath is good and helps to reduce swelling.

He is not alone, everyone has hemorrhoids, it is whether or not they decide to flare up. It basically is a blood vessel in the anal area which may or may not cause pain, itching and swelling. When this area becomes irritated it swells causing pain. Usually from lack of fiber in your diet and constipation.
