Is there a relationship between hemorrhoids and diet?

The structure of the human diet has been linked to many diseases, hemorrhoids in particular. The structure of the human diet determines the quality, fiber and nutrition of the diet. Intake of food, through human digestion, absorption of nutrients, some impurities in the diet, coarse fiber and other food residues that are not easily absorbed by the body, through the intestines out of the body, but out of the body before the intestines to further absorb vitamin class and water, thus making it into a certain shape of feces out of the body. If the food is too fine and too refined, it will cause fecal peristalsis in the intestines to slow down, constipation, feces in the intestines and the anus to stay too long, prolonging the toilet time, leading to varicose veins in the anorectal area to induce hemorrhoids. If too much chili or pepper is consumed in the food, it can cause anorectal irritation, resulting in congestion and expansion of blood vessels in the anorectal area and the formation of hemorrhoids. The incidence of hemorrhoids is relatively low among people whose food is mainly vegetables and coarse grains. Therefore, it is safe to say that there is a close relationship between dietary structure and the development of hemorrhoids.
