It is a mistake not to dare to poop for painful haemorrhoids. Not having a bowel movement for a long period of time can lead to a build-up of faeces in the intestines for too long, which can result in the water in the faeces being absorbed by the intestines, leading to dry and hard faeces. These dry, hard stools not only damage the intestinal environment, they can also cause mechanical damage to the haemorrhoids, and patients are advised to treat them with open plugs under the guidance of their doctor.
