Is it really easy to get hemorrhoids when you eat more spicy food?

Chinese people like to eat spicy food, and the number of Chinese people suffering from hemorrhoids is also relatively high. Based on this can be a simple logic can be determined by eating spicy easy to develop hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids are a very common disease, and the main causes include constipation, sedentary, forceful bowel movements, and body cold. The anus is made up of two completely different tissues. During fetal life, the rectum and anus are united as a “dentate line”, with the rectal mucosa above the dentate line and the skin below. There are numerous anal fossae on the dentate line that are connected to the mucus-secreting anal glands. There are a large number of capillaries called “venous plexus” concentrated inside the anus and near the exit. Once the burden on the anus increases, it is easy to cause impaired blood circulation in the venous plexus, which can lead to hemorrhoids. Therefore, if you exert too much force when defecating, it will easily cause poor blood circulation, and if you have constipation, dry stool, the dry stool will also damage the anus and induce hemorrhoids. If you have diarrhea, the stool can easily enter the anal niche of the dentate line, and bacteria such as coliform bacteria can easily enter the anal glands, inducing infection and causing pus and hemorrhoids around the anus. In addition, irritating foods such as chili and alcohol can easily trigger diarrhea, which in turn can trigger hemorrhoids. Pepper contains a spicy ingredient “capsaicin”, which is not digested and absorbed by the body, but is directly excreted. Therefore, the anus is stimulated by capsaicin as well as the oral cavity and digestive tract, and the hot and spicy sensation is felt. In addition, capsaicin has the effect of promoting sweating and raising body temperature, which can easily irritate mucous membranes and induce hemorrhoids or lead to worsening of hemorrhoid symptoms. In addition, according to the results of a study in Mexico, the incidence of stomach cancer was 1.71 times higher in people who consumed large amounts of chili peppers (9-25 per day) compared to those who basically did not eat many chili peppers (less than 3 per day), and large intake of chili peppers was also included in the study as an independent causative factor for stomach cancer. In addition to chili peppers, pepper, mustard and other spices with a pungent odor, although all very tasty, are very likely to induce hemorrhoids. Therefore, moderate consumption of stimulating spices is important for the prevention of hemorrhoids. The relationship between hemorrhoids and diet probably doesn’t need to be emphasized any further than the anus and intestines, which are your own anus and intestines. One is used for the conduction of food and the other for excretion. All prevention and treatment is supposed to start with diet.
