Haemorrhoids are caused by too much straining, which is caused by bad posture during defecation. The closer you're to a squatting position, the less straining you need. Use a footrest to raise your leg (or as I call it: a stool stool, hehehe).
- SoftTalker 1y agoAlso a bad diet or possibly poor hydration. Defecating should not require strain.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoAlso, agitating the area with dry wiping vs. the soothing waterbeam of a bidet.
- op00to 1y agoI have not had to strain since using a bidet. It’s like magic.
- IAmBroom 1y agoInsufficient hot sauce is usually the culprit. I've had constipation maybe twice in my life.
- jjice 1y agoThe toilet stool (Squatty Potty is probably the most well known brand name) is game changing. Highly recommend. That may be some of the lowest cost to benefit thing I've found for the home. The only downside is that you'll miss it whenever nature calls outside the home.
- Workaccount2 1y agoI bought the folding one and take it on trips, I'm totally shameless about it.
- RandomBacon 1y agoI'm curious, is sitting up with the feet propped up on a stool, any different from leaning over (elbows on knees), with the feet on the ground?
- RandallBrown 1y agoBefore getting a squatty potty I would lean over and it seemed to help. The stool does seem to help a little bit more and it's more comfortable.

- troyvit 1y agoMan that and bidets have changed my life. But it makes leaving home that much more difficult.
- bix6 1y agoPlus one for bidets. What’s up with single ply being legal? Hurts so bad.
- dsq 1y agoJust roll out a long strip and fold it twice, now you've got quad-ply. That’ll show em.
- bix6 1y agoI’ve gone 16 ply and still ripped my bum!!
- RankingMember 1y agoI actually prefer single-ply. I bunch it up (I'm not a folder) and it's far superior to that fluffy stuff that your fingers go right through and then sticks to your bum. Scott 1000-sheet + bidet + squatty potty is perfection to me.

- goopypoop 1y agoPlatform shoes!
- meindnoch 1y agoYes. At least in hotels I'm usually able to repurpose the bathroom trashcan for this.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoEating well is a game changer

- m463 1y ago> The only downside well, that and taking it up to the cashier. :)
- spondylosaurus 1y agoLearning to relax your pelvic floor is helpful too. You should be opening the door, not pushing things through it :)
- wcunning 1y agoTwo double shots of espresso and straining is a thing of the past, regardless of diet.
