Hemorrhoid care

Daily prevention

Anorectal experts introduce the following methods in daily life to prevent hemorrhoids:

1. Eat a light diet, eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcoholic and other indigestible and irritating foods, eat more fruits, vegetables and fiber foods, drink more water, especially bananas, honey and other laxative foods.

2. Don't stand or sit for long periods of time, and increase exercise appropriately, especially pelvic floor exercises.

3. Have a bowel movement at regular intervals every day (even if you don't have a bowel movement, you should go to the toilet regularly to do bowel movement conditioning reflex training). The time for each bowel movement should not be too long, about 5 minutes is appropriate.

4. Take a warm water sitz bath and steam before and after defecation to keep the anus clean while accelerating local blood circulation and playing a preventive role.

5. Drink a glass of warm salt water or cold boiled water every morning to promote bowel movements.

6. If the stool is dry, you can take laxatives.

These good habits in life should be developed even if you don't have anorectal diseases, because most anorectal diseases are caused by bad living habits. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Preventive Care

1. You should do more exercise, such as outdoor sports or physical exercise, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility. Frequent ani lifting exercises can relax your body and mind and contract your anus intentionally or unintentionally. It is best to do ani lifting exercises twice a day, each time lasting up to 5 times. If you persist in doing this for a long time, you can effectively prevent hemorrhoids.

2. Constipation is the main cause of hemorrhoids, so patients should develop good bowel habits and do not deliberately hold back bowel movements. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables because fruits are rich in vitamins. Eating a large amount of vitamins can promote intestinal peristalsis. Drinking more water is good for your health. It is not advisable to eat foods that irritate the intestines, such as peppers, cold drinks, etc. Once patients find constipation, they should seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of hemorrhoids.

3. Be sure to keep the anus clean after defecation, pay attention to daily hygiene habits, avoid injuries to the anus to avoid infection, pay more attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and don't be lazy. It is best to use a Yikangtang sitz bath for warm water sitz bath every day, which can promote blood circulation around the anus and effectively prevent hemorrhoids.
