Do you know the 5 things that hemorrhoid patients should pay attention to?

Whether hemorrhoids will recur is closely related to constipation. When the climate is dry, constipation is easy to occur if you are not careful. Therefore, keeping the body's bowels open regularly will have a certain effect on the treatment and prevention of hemorrhoids. So what should we pay attention to in daily life when it comes to hemorrhoids?

1. Notes: Eat a healthy diet

Patients with hemorrhoids should eat less or try not to eat spicy foods, such as mustard, chili peppers, hot sauce, ginger, onions, garlic, fennel, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more boiled water or beverages with laxative effects. If you have dry and difficult stools, you can soak senna leaves in water and drink them instead of tea. After hemorrhoid surgery, patients should have a light diet, eat less greasy or smoked food, not smoke or drink alcohol. No matter it is rice wine, white wine or beer, they are all taboo. It is best to eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and eat until you are 80% full. Avoid overeating or eating at irregular intervals to prevent gastrointestinal dysfunction.

2. Notes: Develop good bowel habits

Keep bowel movements smooth and prevent constipation or diarrhea. The time spent on defecation should not be too long, and the bad habit of reading books or newspapers while defecation should be changed. Clean the anus with warm salt water after defecation to improve local blood circulation. In addition, to prevent hemorrhoids, it is recommended to sit on the toilet, because the squatting posture for defecation can easily induce hemorrhoids and even rectal prolapse.

3. Notes: Exercise appropriately and change your body position

In addition to whole-body physical exercises such as calisthenics and boxing, you also need to strengthen local functional exercises, such as anal contraction exercises, also known as "ani levator", which is to self-adjust the sphincter, contract and relax the anus, 50 times each time, about 3 minutes, 1 to twice a day, anytime, anywhere. People who engage in long-term sitting, standing or squatting work should change their body positions appropriately, exercise their lower limbs and buttocks muscles regularly, and strive to achieve a proper balance between work and rest, and appropriate movement and rest.

4. Notes: Pay attention to anal hygiene

Unclean anus can easily cause local inflammation and edema, leading to worsening of the disease and increasing the patient's pain. Patients should pay attention to the following: Do not wipe the anus with unclean or overly rough toilet paper after defecation; Pay attention to washing the lower body frequently and changing underwear frequently; Wear cotton underwear to facilitate breathability and absorb local secretions; Sitting bath and fumigation of the anus are effective prevention and treatment methods, which not only clean the anus, but also improve local blood circulation. Patients with hemorrhoids should frequently fumigate and sit in the anus with hot water.

5. Precautions--Timely treatment of primary disease

Patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis of the liver, heart disease, abdominal tumors and other conditions that are prone to hemorrhoids should promptly treat the primary disease to avoid further illness.
