Hemorrhoids are very common. In fact, many people develop hemorrhoids and then
manage to cure themselves with little or no symptoms. Women in their third trimester of
pregnancy commonly develop hemorrhoids due to the increased pressure on the lower
digestive system, and straining and pushing during labor can make hemorrhoids worse.

Chronic sufferer Joey Farkas (2) says “I was a little over 290 lbs. and my doctor says
being overweight put me at a greater risk for developing hemroids. He says most people
who develop hemroids experience them because of straining during bowel movements,
which cause the veins inside and around the anus to swell up, and since constipation

is sure enough common among people who are not so active or eat unhealthy or have
unbalanced diets. I wasn’t so active because of an old football injury, but my doc got me
into the swimming pool with no excuses. My doc says I used to fit the model combo of
a lousy diet, not enough exercise, and just not drinking enough water. It’s a common
lifestyle model in America. He says there are millions of Americans with hemroids
looking for treatment and relief.”
