Hemorrhoids

By Emmy Siddons - email

HENRICO, VA (WWBT) - Dr. Keith Espiritu is treating hemorrhoids.

To prevent hemorrhoids eat fiber, have regular stools, minimize constipation and straining with stools.

You should be aiming to have regular soft stools.  You can take warm baths, and ingest plenty of fiber.

Seek treatment from the doctor if your symptoms are new/painful/intolerable or if you have questions.
