When you squat, it eases the muscles around the sphincter and that helps the blood flow in the area, or so I'm told. Anyway, it has worked for me. 

I don't know about blood flow, but it cuts down on the straining the forces out the hemorrhoids.

I don't exactly squat.  Instead I pull over the clothes hamper and raise my legs up on it.  Has the same effect.  Makes things flow easier.
