What should I do if I have hemorrhoids? What should I do if hemorrhoids are prone to recurrence?

Common symptoms of hemorrhoids include bleeding, pain, a feeling of falling, anal itching, and anal prolapse. These symptoms are often mild at the beginning, but if not treated in time, the condition will gradually worsen. So what should you do if hemorrhoids recur?

1. Based on good health, perform local anal exercises.

Nowadays, some people do not pay attention to physical exercise, and many young and middle-aged people are in sub-health status. This is a hidden danger, because high blood pressure, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, abdominal tumors, etc. can easily induce hemorrhoids. Therefore, you should participate in more physical activities, such as doing radio gymnastics during breaks at work and taking part in some outdoor activities after get off work. Especially for office workers who need to sit or stand for long periods of time, you should enhance your body's resistance through exercise and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Physical exercise is beneficial to blood circulation, regulates the flow of qi and blood in the human body, promotes gastrointestinal motility, improves pelvic congestion, prevents constipation, and prevents the occurrence of hemorrhoids.

With a healthy body as the foundation, you should also perform massage to improve the local blood circulation in the anus. Anal lifting exercise is an effective and simple method: relax your whole body, squeeze your buttocks and thighs, inhale, use your mind to pull your anus upward, hold your breath for a while, then exhale, repeat this 30 times, once in the morning and once in the evening. This is a method of internal massage that can move blood stasis, exercise the anal sphincter, and enhance the vital energy. Regular ani lifting exercises can improve hemorrhoidal venous return and play a role in preventing and treating hemorrhoids.

2. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and ensure normal blood circulation by changing body positions.

Sitting for a long time will cause blood circulation to become blocked, while walking for a long time will cause qi and blood to become blocked. Blood stasis flows into the anus and causes hemorrhoids. Sitting still for a long time, especially sitting on a soft seat for a long time, the blood flow in the abdomen slows down, which hinders blood circulation. The venous blood in the lower limbs cannot return, blood circulation is blocked, and the rectal venous plexus is prone to varicose veins, leading to blood congestion and the formation of venous masses. This is hemorrhoids. So, those who need to sit for long periods of time at work should stand up and walk around every hour.

Standing for a long time also affects venous return, slowing down blood flow in the pelvis and causing congestion of abdominal organs, leading to excessive filling of hemorrhoidal veins, decreased tension of venous walls, and easy congestion and dilation of blood vessels. There is another saying that there is a very thin anal cushion at the human anus. Under normal circumstances, the anal cushion relies on fibrous tissue to maintain elasticity, but with age, under the influence of gravity, the suspensory ligaments at the anal cushion become loose, and the anal cushion will become congested, thus forming hemorrhoids. The anal cushions of people who stand for a long time are more affected by gravity, which makes hemorrhoids more likely to develop. Therefore, people who need to sit or stand for long periods of time should pay attention to changing their body positions appropriately to ensure normal blood circulation.

3. Develop good living habits, prevent constipation, and maintain smooth bowel movements.

Diarrhea and constipation are both important causes of hemorrhoids. A normal person has bowel movements once a day, at different times. The stools they excrete are formed, soft, and neither dry nor watery. They do not feel difficulty when defecating and feel relaxed and comfortable after defecation, indicating that their gastrointestinal function is good. Once constipation occurs, the stool will be hard and difficult to defecate, and feces will accumulate in the intestinal cavity. The pressure in the anorectal blood vessels will increase, and the obstruction of blood flow will cause varicose venous plexus, which will become hemorrhoids.
