What should I do if my anus bleeds due to external hemorrhoids?

It is common to see hemorrhoids caused by eating too much spicy food in daily diet, and the problem of external hemorrhoid bleeding is also very common. Every time external hemorrhoids appear, I feel extremely uncomfortable in my body, especially when defecating, I dare not exert force, which is very painful. Today we will learn about external hemorrhoids and what to do when you have external hemorrhoids?

Medically speaking, external hemorrhoids are located outside the anus. The main symptoms are usually pain or a foreign body sensation. They rarely bleed, but they will bleed if they are scratched or inflamed, usually due to dry stool. So at this time we must pay attention to improving our daily living habits.

1. Keep bowel movements smooth and develop a habit of daily bowel movements. External hemorrhoid bleeding is mostly caused by constipation. Straining during defecation increases abdominal pressure, causing increased pressure in the hemorrhoidal veins and rupture and bleeding. Other causes are dry and hard stools, which rub the hemorrhoidal veins when passing through the anus, leading to external hemorrhoid bleeding. Eating more vegetables and drinking more water can prevent constipation. For those who have already developed constipation, eating more bananas, spinach, honey or sesame oil can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, and can also prevent bleeding from external hemorrhoids. Regular bowel movements and eating less spicy foods can help reduce bleeding from external hemorrhoids.

2. Strengthening exercise can promote blood circulation and reduce the pressure on hemorrhoidal veins. When exercising, you must pay attention to gradual progress. In addition, you can kneel on the bed every day, take the chest-knee position, and practice anal lifting exercises, which are also effective in reducing bleeding from external hemorrhoids.

3. Prevent anal infection. Ruptured hemorrhoids are easily contaminated by stool and become inflamed. Therefore, for those who have already experienced external hemorrhoid bleeding, anti-inflammatory measures must be strengthened.

These are the things you need to pay attention to when you have external hemorrhoids, as well as how we should take care of them in our daily lives. At ordinary times, we must pay attention to maintaining a good living habit, which will have a certain effect on alleviating external hemorrhoids and is also very beneficial to our own health.
