Anyway, keeping the hemorroid soft and lubricated is key to keeping them at bay. The other more critical component is, of course, diet!

If you dont stay on top of your health, you'll be at the mercy of the PayMaster Butchers you call doctors. Granted if there are issues you dont understand or are concerned about, find a good doc!
