In order to reduce the pain of hemorrhoids, it is important that you modify your habits. If your job requires you to stand, make sure you take several breaks throughout the day. At home you should avoid excessive standing where possible. Also, if you are required to do a lot of heavy lifting at work, you may need to either change your job duties or take a break from work while you heal. Excessive heavy lifting can add a significant amount of stress to your body, causing considerable discomfort. Again, take breaks throughout the day, including time to lie down to decrease the pressure on your anal area. Lastly, when possible, avoid spending too much time on the toilet. Even if you do not feel the consequences right away, straining will eventually cause you discomfort, and maybe even severe pain.
