How to Treat Hemorrhoids - Squatting Position - Internal Hemorrhoid Treatment Reviewed Part 3

As you know, statistic says that over half of person of age 40 and above have hemorrhoids. What is unique, this statistic is not shared in the developing countries. Why is that? The general answer is because of the diet. High fiber diet are more common in developing countries, hence giving hemorrhoids a run for their money. Is this true?

Medical practitioners generally agree with the high fiber answer because they have not search for other reasons that may cause that. If you consider the fact that the population of the developing countries have a broad eating habits, this can not be the only reason. For instance India are mostly vegans, but in Japan, fish is one of the more common diet. So this alone can not be the only justification of the statistics.

There are one more factor that can be calculated to be the reason of such statistics. This involves the use of squatting position when you have to do. In developing countries that we refer to, squat toilets are more common for the people.

This fact is further supported by the research of Dr. Berko Sikirov, a physician from Israel. He studies the effect of the squatting position to hemorrhoids patients. It is widely known after the study was covered in an article in the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, 1996, although it's already published in 1987 in the Israel Journal of Medical Sciences.

The result is concluded from the experiment with 20 male and female patients with hemorrhoids of different levels. All have used conventional treatments with no avail. Bottom line of the research, 90% of the subjects have significant reduction or complete absence of symptoms in a mere few days up until a few months. Furthermore, at the end of the research, many reports that they have been cured with no relapse.

The conclusion of the research further pinpoint the cause of hemorrhoids. They can be resulted from continual aggravation and injury due to excessive straining in the sitting position in the toilet. When you strain it will aggravate even more, hence worsening the hemorrhoids. Squatting position means that the healing process can take place without the symptoms or the condition getting worse.

So squatting position is ideally the best position you should take form when you have to go to the toilet. Bockus Gastroenterology have this to say, "The ideal posture for [evacuation] is the squatting position, with the thighs flexed upon the abdomen. In this way the capacity of the abdominal cavity is greatly diminished and intra-abdominal pressure is increased, thus encouraging expulsion ..."

Sadly, the majority of the medical practitioners sometimes conveniently forgot to mention this to the patients. Surgery is more lucrative and the money can not hurt. One of the other thing that they forgot to mention is also there is natural remedies for hemorrhoids.
