What to eat for hemorrhoids

After the occurrence of hemorrhoids, the general principle of diet is to pay attention to the foods that can keep the bowels open. Only such a diet can be beneficial for the relief and recovery of hemorrhoid symptoms. Most people who have hemorrhoids can aggravate their symptoms if they do not pay attention to their diet, causing pain around the anus, swelling prolapse, edema and other problems. This is mainly due to the fact that some diets can cause constipation, and the process of defecation can lead to perianal subcutaneous thrombosis causing pain, increased size of the hemorrhoid nucleus, edema, hemorrhoid impaction and even problems with mucosal erosion. That’s why you need to pay attention to your diet. The best diet for the occurrence of hemorrhoids is usually to increase the amount of fiber-rich foods, which contain dietary fiber that can increase the volume of stool and stimulate the defecation reflex, which facilitates defecation. In addition, fiber can stimulate bowel movements to promote defecation. Foods with high fiber content mainly include, sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, pumpkin and other grains and cereals, as well as some green leafy vegetables, fruits and other foods. In addition, hemorrhoid patients also need to increase their water intake. Increased intake of water can make the stool looser and softer so that it is easier to pass. Avoid excessive irritation around the anus from overly dry, hard stools, which can cause increased pain and aggravated hemorrhoids. After hemorrhoids occur, you must pay attention to your diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods and not eating fried foods. Usually you can work with warm water sitz baths to increase blood circulation around the anus, which is good for hemorrhoid recovery.
