Do hemorrhoids get worse in winter?

The main reasons why hemorrhoid patients may experience increased symptoms in the winter are as follows: 1. The winter weather is dry and there is a risk of gastrointestinal dryness, which can easily lead to constipation, thus aggravating the symptoms of hemorrhoids. 2. In the winter, patients will have less exercise and slower blood speed, which may aggravate the state of stasis in the blood vessels of hemorrhoids, thus aggravating the symptoms of hemorrhoids. 3. Cold, cold weather may cause blood vessels to spasm, thus aggravating the state of bruising in hemorrhoids. So hemorrhoid patients should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits in winter, keep their stools soft and clear, need proper exercise, pay attention to warmth, etc.
