Why do I get a hemorriod the next morning from a night of drinking?
I have had a hemorrhoid on and off for a month or so now. I have been taking metamucil fiber supplements and have been eating better with exercise. It all helps alot, but every weekend when I drink alot of beer, the next morning I have massive diarrhea that causes this. It also seems that any time I have diarrhea I get a hemorrhoid? Why does it only happen then?

Depending on the food that you consume i.e. peanuts, pretezels, any foods high in sodium or fiber, could be the source. Anything that dehydrates you can cause it as well, as a result of fast digestion.

Increased pressure or amounts of evacuating the bowel increase irritation to the colon. Thus, the hemmorhoid, which is simply a vein that has lost it’s
original shape and starts ballooning out, gets irritated and presents itself. Try some ice packs to your bottom for immediate relief, 10 minutes at a time, every hour if necessary.
