Q: How can a person avoid hemorrhoids? What are the complications that can develop after hemorrhoidectomy?

A:These things will help to decrease hemorrhoids:

Decrease fibre in diet. Fibre is also known as bulking agent or roughage. What it does is increase the size of stools, which makes hemorrhoids worse.
Also do not squat to defecate.
Do not read in toilet.
Do not spend too much time in the toilet.
