Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are an incredibly common medical condition and yet it is something which is rarely talked about. It is believed that 50% of Americans have this condition by the time they reach the age of 50 and yet only 500,000 of these people seek medical help for the problem. Of these, between 10 and 20% require surgery to have their hemorrhoids removed.
Unless there is an existing medical condition in a younger person, blood circulation is usually more of a concern for older adults. Whilst a lot of things can add to this affliction, it seems a natural part of the growing older process for the blood to circulate less. But you don’t have to become overly nervous about it if you’re found to have decreased circulation. Ways and means are available to build up the circulation when needed. Prevailing medicine and other areas have exposed many lifestyle behaviors that can influence blood flow.
