[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 337612, member: 1963"] Another thing to do is to bend your knees and put your feet up on a small stepstool in front of the toilet. Despite it feeling natural to us Westerners; we are really designed to SQUAT when doing our business. Doing that greatly reduces press in the lower abdomen. Hemorrhoids are basically varicose veins in the rectum and anus, straining is really a bad thing. Sitz baths help. For external ones you can try compressing with a wet green tea bag. The tannins and other astringents in the tea help shrink the irritation as well. You can get the same effects as with Tucks by compressing with Witch Hazel. [/QUOTE]
