While the internet is a good source of concrete information on various topics, it often leads to rumours and misleading information that can do you a whole lot of harm if not identified correctly. Besides the internet, there are quite a few rumours doing the rounds with regards to hemorrhoids which I would like to dispel in this article.
Myth #1-Hemorrhoids Affects Only Elderly People:
Although, according to stats, hemorrhoids affects one in every two adults around the world, it is a completely false notion that younger people can’t get affected by the disease. Older people might have a greater tendency but that doesn’t rule out younger people from having hemorrhoids.

Myth #2-Your Diet Can’t Be A Cause For Hemorrhoids:
An unhealthy diet or one that is low in fiber can definitely cause hemorrhoids. That is why it is important to watch what you eat if you want to avoid hemorrhoids. Eating unhealthy food or food that is low in fiber causes a lot of strain to the veins (bowel movement isn’t smooth) in the rectal area which leads to hemorrhoids. Please refer to the article “Suffering From Hemorrhoids? Here’s A Healthy Diet” for more information on a balanced diet that should be followed to avoid hemorrhoids.
Myth #3-Surgery Is The Only Option To Cure Hemorrhoids:
In the case of hemorrhoids surgery isn’t the only option. If nothing else works then surgery can be done as the last resort. With the advancement of medicine, surgery is usually avoidable and hemorrhoids can be cured by taking those medicines. |
Myth #4-Sitting On Hard Objects Can Cause Hemorrhoids:
People often have the misconception that sitting on hard objects for a long period of time can cause hemorrhoids because of the strain it causes to the anus. This is a false fact and hemorrhoids are not caused by sitting on hard objects for long periods of time. This rumour is often attached with sitting on sidewalks, which again is completely untrue.
Myth #5-Hemorrhoids Cannot Be Completely Cured:
Hemorrhoids have various cures from different disciplines of medicines and most of them cure hemorrhoids completely. I say most because there are many products out there that “claim” that they can cure hemorrhoids but they don’t live up to their promise. That is why it always important to buy products that back up their promises along with a guarantee. Let the buyer beware.
These are the top five myths that are often associated with hemorrhoids and hopefully after reading this article you’re clear as to what’s true and what’s false.
