You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here http://curehemorrhoid.info
Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.
An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.
Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

Cats will do this when their bottoms are itchy. It can be a sign of worms or impaction in anal glands.
There are three kinds of worms infecting cats: (1) round worms,
(2) tape worms, (3) heartworm. The first two might cause the itching. The treatment for this worms is very specific and a vet needs to examine stool to tell which kind your cat has.
Choosing over the counter "wormers" may mean you are treating the wrong kind of worm. Also those medications are sold in retail stores because vets have found them ineffective or harmful for your cat, too harsh, too easy to overdose.
So the vet is your best choice for diagnosis and treatment. Remember, you are putting poison into your cat so caution if required.

He's not cleaning himself. Cats clean themselves by licking. It's not likely that it's ring worm (a fungus not a worm)! Ring worm usually shows up as patchy dry skin that sometimes swells that usually first shows up on their feet and/or ears. A sign of having actual worms is diarrhea, but it is still possible he has them without that symptom. My cat drags her bottom after using the box when she is constipated. She usually gets constipated when she has a furball. Try some furball remedy stuff. If that does not do anything after a couple days, take him to the vet, it could be something a little more serious like worms. If he does have a furball, keep him combed well to cut down on the fur intake.

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/Zopmp
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

Sounds to me like your cat may have some type of worms; I would call your vet and ask if he could give more info or prescribe your cat some medicine to help relieve him of the itching on his bottom!

Cats.. as well as dogs.. have those disgusting glands called the anal glands and they get filled up with mucus, etc and it is itchy.. They are scratching their rear ends due to the glands.. Often times they can, themselves, rupture(Probably not right word) the glands and it relieves the itching.. Sometimes when a person takes a dog or cat in for grooming, they rupture the glands when they are at the groomers.. that is. the groomers do that as part of the grooming service.

because he cannot reach the toilet paper? seriously he may have an intestinal invasion, worms or other parasitical infestation. get him checked out, and the best way is to check yourself ,take a plastic fork and break open any feces, if you spot what looks like a maggot or worm ,take your animal to the vets, don't wait, you can purchase a deworming kit inexpensively, but first find out if the animal is infected, and the type of invasion. regards LF

He might have worms, or maybe his butt itches, He could be trying to clean something off... but if he does it a lot, take him to the vet for a check-up because worms are a definite possibility.
