Q : Do you experience pressure with hemorrhoids

Answer :  Hello Diane. Your question is not very clear, are you talking about the pressure that you feel while passing stools and if that is connected to hemorrhoids? The pressure that you feel in your rectum before passing stool is caused by the hemorrhoidal tissues. Please see our website www.hemmorhoidstreatment.com, which explains in detail how the hemorrhoidal tissues control the muscles in the anus and rectum and help in passing stool. However people who are constipated or strain too much while passing stool feel a lot of pressure in the anal region and that can harm hemorrhoidal tissues. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids then this pressure can cause a lot of discomfort. The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including walking, and increased fiber in the diet help reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.
