What to do if your buttocks are painful

It is not shameful to have hemorrhoids. It is mainly caused by bad living habits. Modern people like to eat fast food, which is not nutritious but very spicy and irritating. If you indulge in this food for a long time, you will get hemorrhoids. When you are sick, you should first go to the hospital to consult a doctor, take medicine according to the doctor's advice, and change your bad living habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat more light foods high in fiber.

Nine out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are a very easy disease to get. Just pay attention to your diet, control the condition, seek medical attention in time when it is serious, and keep the area around your anus clean.

The first step in anal care is to ensure the cleanliness of the anal area and rinse the anus with water after defecation. Wiping with paper will only rub the feces into the folds and wounds of the anus. The harder you try to wipe it clean, the deeper the feces will be embedded, causing bacteria to multiply and aggravate inflammation and edema. Therefore, after each bowel movement, you should rinse your anus with running water. At the same time, using water can avoid pain. For some hemorrhoids, you dare not even touch them, let alone wipe them with paper. You can install a smart toilet seat at home, or you can take a shower after defecation. A more convenient way is to prepare a handheld Washlet, fill it with clean water to rinse the anus after defecation, and carry it with you when going out or at work.

The second method of anal care is to take a sitz bath in warm water at about 37°C for at least ten minutes every night. Although no medicine is used, this may be the best "prescription" for treating hemorrhoids. Sitz baths can speed up venous blood circulation, eliminate edema, and promote healing. However, squatting also increases the risk of wound tearing, which requires the use of an anal hydrotherapy device, placed on the toilet, and a comfortable sitting position to complete the sitz bath.

The third key point of anal care is to keep the anus suspended when sitting so as not to compress the blood vessels around the anus. You can prepare an anal protection pad. Its special shape allows the anus to be suspended in the air to breathe, promote venous blood return, accelerate the elimination of edema and wound healing, and avoid tenderness. Many patients with severe hemorrhoids cannot even ride in a car when traveling. Only with an anal protection pad can they sit down normally, work or eat comfortably, and maintain a good mental state.

In addition, constipation must be prevented. If constipated, it will aggravate the pain of the wound. For example, some patients say that defecation feels like pulling glass. Many patients do not go to the toilet for fear of pain, which makes it more difficult to pass dry stools and aggravates the pain. In addition, when feces remain in the intestines, the bacteria and harmful substances in the feces will cause the wound to become infected, thereby aggravating the pain. Therefore, in terms of diet, you should eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as wheat bran, oats, celery, etc.

For anal care supplies, you can go to the hospital to get an anorectal rehabilitation kit, but the ones in hospitals are generally more expensive, so you can also buy them outside.
