Hemorrhoids can be prevented and treated fairly easily with a combination of mainstream and complementary approaches.
If you have hemorrhoids, join the uncomfortable club. At some point in life, an estimated one-third of U.S. adults—some 80 million people—suffer the rectal pain and bleeding that they cause, and spend $200 million a year on products to treat them. Chronic hemorrhoids affect some 9 million Americans, and can turn sitting, walking, sneezing, laughing, and defecating into extremely painful propositions.
