Toilet Paper


Can toilet paper deteriorate hemorrhoids? Unfortunately yes. Your ordinary paper that you use on the toilet most definitely can deteriorate your hemorrhoids.


The reason for this is if you looked under a microscope. Toilet paper looks like very fine sand paper.

In other words ROUGH. Even the softest of paper is rough.


So can you imagine cleaning yourself with a piece of sand paper!!!


OUCH! Just the thought!


Yet, if you do not know any better you do use this paper to clean yourself.


Another reason that hemorrhoids can deteriorate further with paper is that the paper does not really clean the area properly. It cleans the surface , yes but it does not deep clean the germs that you cannot see.



It is therefore imperative that if you are with hemorrhoids, you do not use toilet paper. This will only aggravate your hemorrhoids further, and take longer to heal.


There are two alternatives on the market. Use Flushable Wipes as I do, Or you could use a bidet.


If you do not have hemorrhoids, toilet paper will not cause hemorrhoids.


However it is still wise to use flushable wipes or using a bidet as it is a much better way to clean yourself. More refreshing, sanitizing and deep cleans better.


Since I started using flushable wipes, I could never go back to the conventional paper as the difference is enormous.
