Anal swelling can be associated with diet, difficult or "strained" bowl movements, lack of clear liquids, or lack of exercise.

In order for elimination system to work as it was designed, it is important to maintain a high fiber diet, drink plent of water (2-3 large glasses per day), and exercise regularly. Try not to strain when doing a bowl movement. If necessary take a mild laxitive.

If you experience bleeding for anal swelling does not go down see a physician.

Sorry. I forgot to add that anal swelling can be caused by skin irritation. Skin irritation can be associated with substances that irritate the skin known as "contact dermatitis."

To reduce skin inflamation an excellent 100% natural product is Hemorrhoid Rx. It reduces skin inflamation in 10-15 minutes. Go to:
