Precautions for hemorrhoids

Nowadays, hemorrhoids have become a very common disease. Both men and women, young and old can suffer from hemorrhoids. Generally speaking, hemorrhoids in young people are mostly caused by catching a cold, while hemorrhoids in women are mostly caused by constipation during the confinement period. The disease in the elderly is usually caused by getting angry. People who suffer from hemorrhoids are in great pain. When they have hemorrhoids, they have blood in their stools and it is very painful. People with severe hemorrhoids may experience serious symptoms such as anal prolapse.

Suffering from hemorrhoids is equivalent to suffering from a chronic disease. If you are not careful in your daily life, you will get hemorrhoids, followed by all kinds of discomfort caused by hemorrhoids. So how can you avoid hemorrhoids? If you have hemorrhoids, what should you pay attention to in your life? Let's take a look together!

Hemorrhoids are a common disease in the anorectal department, and its main symptoms include pain, difficulty walking, restlessness, anal itching, blood in the stool, and a feeling of falling or foreign body. Hemorrhoids are mainly caused by increased pressure in the upper and lower rectal veins, poor blood reflux, and blood stasis. Hemorrhoids are generally divided into three types: internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrh

Eat a healthy diet

Keep your diet as light as possible. Patients with hemorrhoids should avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and should not smoke, drink, or overeat. They should eat at regular times and in fixed amounts, and eat until they are 80% full to prevent gastrointestinal dysfunction. So what should you eat? You should eat more vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and eat foods that have a laxative effect.

Precautions for patients with hemorrhoids

Bowel habits

It is important to develop good bowel habits. To prevent constipation or diarrhea, when these two situations occur, you should use medication in time to keep the bowel movements smooth. In addition, the time for defecation should not be too long. Bad habits such as reading or playing with mobile phones while defecation should be corrected. If conditions permit, clean the anus with warm salt water after defecation, which can improve local blood circulation and prevent hemorrhoids. Because squatting to defecate can easily induce hemorrhoids and even rectal prolapse, sitting on the toilet is recommended.

Exercise

People who sit, stand or squat for long periods of time will have their condition aggravated and are likely to have a relapse. They should exercise appropriately. In addition to whole-body physical exercise, they also need to strengthen local function exercises (regular activities are required), such as "ani levator exercises", that is, "anal contraction exercises", to achieve "one contraction and one release", that is, "contract and relax the anus".

Perineal hygiene

The perineum is the anus, which needs to be kept clean. Uncleanliness can easily cause local inflammation and edema, aggravating the condition and increasing the patient's pain. Be careful not to wipe the anus with too rough toilet paper after defecation. Wash the anus frequently and use warm salt water to improve local blood circulation and keep the area around the anus clean.

Timely treatment

If you find that you have hemorrhoids, you should seek timely treatment to avoid more serious consequences. Mild cases can be eliminated with medication, while severe cases require surgery in the hospital. After the operation, you should pay attention to the above four precautions: "reasonable diet, bowel habits, proper exercise, and perineal hygiene".

If we find that we have hemorrhoids, we must seek timely treatment to ensure faster and better treatment of hemorrhoids. Furthermore, there are several types of hemorrhoids. The most common ones are internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids. Relatively speaking, external hemorrhoids are easier to treat. If the hemorrhoids are severe, the patient should choose surgery for treatment, which can completely cure the hemorrhoids. If the condition is not serious, the patient should regulate himself according to the above precautions.
