Having hemorrhoids can be scary when it's your first time. Blood on the toilet paper is definitely not a good sign. Fortunately, there is a simple natural cure for hemorrhoid that does solve most peoples problems.

To treat hemorrhoids the first step is easy and simply requires some thinking. One must first determine why they have hemorrhoids before working to treat it. Of course, it's always a good idea to first visit the doctor and see if it really is hemorrhoids. Bleeding is usually a sign of hemorrhoids but could also be an indication of other more serious problems.

Determine the Root Cause
When you find out what the root cause it of hemorrhoids you can work at solving that problem. If, for example, you don't exercise but eat healthy and good proportions it may very well be that you got it from lack of activity. The simple cure involves absolutely no medications or creams. Just exercise more! Of course, there are natural remedies that can help with the symptoms in the mean time.

Some examples of natural remedies include soaking in a hot bath with salt and eating or applying herbs to the affected area.

There are many different causes that could be leading to this problem. Some people get it from inactivity, some from sitting down for prolonged amounts of time, some from having bad cases of diarrhea, some from overly strenuous weight training that puts strain on the veins around the anus. But most usually get it from eating poor diets.

Food
The most common cause of hemorrhoids is usually related to food. Being constipated is a major factor as does over eating and eating too much processed foods. If you don't have enough fiber in your diet (they recommend at least 25 grams per day) you may be suffering from constipation. Constipation puts extra pressure on the veins around the anus and can lead to hemorrhoids.

Adding fiber to your diet can greatly help the condition. There are various fiber supplements out there that help promote regularity. Be sure, however, to know what type of fiber you are taking. Some fibers need water in order to work properly and if you don't have enough water you could end up more constipated!

Overall, however, the best solution is to change your diet and add some more foods that have a good amount of fiber built into them. Examples are fruits and vegetables.
