What to do if hemorrhoids hurt? These will help you

Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disease in clinical practice, which has a great impact on the patient's life. The pain of hemorrhoids is very obvious. Many people don’t know what to do when they have hemorrhoid pain. Regarding the problem of hemorrhoids, patients should pay attention to the care of hemorrhoids and improve their diet.

1. Do not lift heavy objects:

Lifting heavy objects can also cause increased abdominal pressure, so excessive exertion should be avoided.

2. Do not scratch the affected area:

Some parts will itch, so do not scratch them. Once scratched, it will cause infection and aggravate the condition.

3. Control your weight

Remember not to overeat, as it will increase abdominal pressure. Being overweight and putting too much pressure on the lower limbs can also make you more susceptible to varicose veins.

4. Lubricate the anus:

Applying hemorrhoid suppositories can lubricate the anus, help defecation, and also provide local analgesia, alleviating discomfort to a certain extent.

5. Drink more water and eat more foods with coarse fiber:

Drinking water can soften the stool in the intestines, and crude fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, both of which can help defecation. Health knowledge

6. Multiple activities:

Do not sit for a long time. Sitting for 45 minutes and then getting up and moving around for 5 minutes can effectively relieve hemorrhoid pain. Also, don't stand for long periods of time, as standing for long periods of time with weight can cause venous congestion.

7. Clean after defecation:

People use soft toilet paper to wipe the anus after defecation. Some toilet papers are too rough, so be careful to distinguish them. It is best to wash with water to help clean the anus.

8. Don’t squat for a long time:

Especially do not read books or newspapers while going to the toilet. Because the posture maintained when squatting on the toilet can cause congestion of the hemorrhoidal venous plexus, affect venous blood return, and aggravate hemorrhoidal symptoms.

9. Others

Generally speaking, there are two main treatments for hemorrhoids: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. The method to be chosen depends on the severity of the patient's condition. However, I personally recommend conservative treatment. After all, it is better not to do surgery if possible.
