Typical symptoms of haemorrhoids include:

• An itchy bottom
• Bright red blood on the toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
• Pain and discomfort around your anus
• Mucous or Slime on your underwear or toilet paper

To help prevent haemorrhoids or improve symptoms you should:

• Drink plenty of water (regularly) to ensure your stools are soft
• Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables
• Use damp, rather than dry tissue paper when wiping your bottom
• Exercise regularly
• Reduce your caffeine and alcohol intake.  For example, drink less tea/coffee/energy drinks
• Keep your bottom clean and dry, but take regular warm baths to soothe the area

Some things may make the problem worse:

• Medicines containing Opiates.  Codeine and other opiates slow your bowel motions causing constipation and invariably piles due to straining.
• Do not push too hard when doing a poo
• Do not ignore the need to go to the toilet as this may lead to straining next time.
