What to do if hemorrhoids hurt so much

The main symptoms of hemorrhoids are painful defecation and bleeding during defecation. There may be blood in the stool and blood dripping after defecation. If not treated for a long time, it will cause the hemorrhoids to worsen and the pain will increase. Hemorrhoids are not serious in the early stages and may cause pain during defecation. If it becomes serious in the later stages, the pain will persist. In addition to timely treatment for hemorrhoids, you should pay more attention to your diet. Some spicy and irritating foods must not be consumed, otherwise it will aggravate the pain of hemorrhoids. What should you do if you are in terrible pain from hemorrhoids?

The first step in treating hemorrhoids is to keep the bowels open and eat easily digestible food with less residue. The diet should be a combination of coarse and fine foods, drink less strong tea, coffee, alcohol and eat less spicy food to reduce irritation to the anal canal. Take a warm water sitz bath after defecation and apply hemorrhoid suppository or hemorrhoid ointment topically. Depending on the condition, injection therapy, cryotherapy and physical therapy can be used. Severe cases can be treated with surgery, including ligation, rubber band ligation, hemorrhoidectomy, etc.

Different hemorrhoids require different treatments. When a diabetic patient gets hemorrhoids, the treatment should be considered in combination with the severity of the hemorrhoids and the severity of the diabetes. It is best to wait until the condition stabilizes before choosing an appropriate treatment for hemorrhoids.

The treatment of hemorrhoids mainly focuses on improving blood circulation in the perianal and hemorrhoidal veins and eliminating excessive varicose veins and fullness. Surgery is the main treatment, but surgery has many complications and is prone to recurrence. The first step in treating hemorrhoids is to keep the bowels open and eat easily digestible food with less residue.

Pay attention to your diet, and especially for you, avoid sitting for long periods of time.

1. Eat a balanced 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 and drink more water. 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.

(2) 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) Exercise appropriately and pay attention to changing body positions. 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.
