Hello, Mel! Thank you for posting.

Constipation can worsen hemorrhoids and so, this might be what is happening since you are saying constipation has been more of an issue. That said, the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor.

Chronic constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficult passage of stools that persists for several weeks or longer. Constipation is generally described as having fewer than three bowel movements a week.

Things that can help:
Include plenty of high-fiber foods in your diet, including beans, vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals, and bran.
Eat fewer foods with low amounts of fiber such as processed foods, and dairy and meat products.
Drink plenty of fluids. Especially water.
Stay as active as possible and try to get regular exercise.
Try to manage stress.
Don't hold the urge to pass stool.

I hope you feel better soon.

Helena
