2. Things to note when a hard lump grows on the buttocks

① Reasonable diet

In your daily diet, you can choose more vegetables, fruits, beans and other foods rich in vitamins and fiber, and less spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, mustard, ginger, etc.

② Develop the habit of regular bowel movements

This plays an extremely important role in preventing the occurrence of hemorrhoids. When you feel the urge to defecate, do not hold it in, as holding it in for too long can cause habitual constipation. Sitting in the toilet for too long, reading newspapers, or exerting excessive force when defecating are all bad bowel habits and should be corrected.
