When it comes to hemorrhoids, many people think it's just a "minor problem", but it often makes it difficult to sit still. What's even more interesting is that while many people are tormented by it, they are quietly adding fuel and fire to hemorrhoids in what they consider to be a "healthy" way.

Drinking water is just a way to make up the numbers, drinking it is also for nothing

       Eight glasses of water a day keeps hemorrhoids away from me "- this may sound fine, but many people only focus on" drinking more water "and neglect the timing and method of drinking water, which can have the opposite effect. The most common situation is that even after drinking several large glasses of water a day, bowel movements are still not smooth and hemorrhoids still occur. The problem actually lies in the fact that the water you drink is not truly absorbed and utilized by your intestines. Some people are accustomed to gulping down a whole glass of water in one go, or only taking a few sips when thirsty. This "centralized" drinking of water will cause most of the water to be quickly excreted through the kidneys, and the amount of water that can ultimately remain in the intestines and help soften excreta is very small.

       The correct approach is simple: drink small amounts multiple times, take small sips slowly, and control the daily water intake to 1500-2000ml, avoiding drinking large amounts of water at once. In addition, do not use milk tea, fruit juice, or carbonated drinks instead of plain water. High sugar drinks can increase the burden on the intestines and are not conducive to the body's metabolism.

Light diet ≠ only eating porridge and vegetables

       As long as hemorrhoids attack, many people will start an "ascetic" diet: porridge, noodles, boiled vegetables. They feel that as long as they don't eat spicy food or oil, they can alleviate it. Little did they know, such a 'light diet' could actually worsen hemorrhoids. You should know that moderate amounts of healthy fats (such as olive oil, nuts, fish oil, etc.) can lubricate the intestines; But if protein intake is insufficient, the strength of intestinal muscles will weaken, and the problem of poor bowel movements will also follow. However, for those porridge and rotten noodles that are too fine, the content of dietary fiber is very low, and they simply cannot meet the needs of intestinal metabolism.

       The correct way to eat is very simple. Add a handful of whole grains (corn, oats, brown rice, etc.) every day, eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber (celery, spinach, broccoli, etc.) and fruits (apples, bananas, dragon fruit, etc.), and then consume lean meat and eggs in moderation to ensure sufficient intestinal motility and reduce discomfort from the root.

Do hemorrhoids not need to be treated if they are not painful or itchy?

       Many people judge the severity of hemorrhoids based solely on one criterion - whether they are painful or not. When it's not painful, it feels peaceful and peaceful; Occasional small bleeding is only considered as internal heat and should not be taken seriously. But in reality, painless hemorrhoids sometimes require more attention than painful ones.

       Remember: Regardless of whether hemorrhoids are painful or not, as long as there is bleeding, discomfort around the anus, or protrusion, it is necessary to adjust lifestyle habits in a timely manner; If these symptoms persist for one or two weeks without improvement, or even become increasingly severe, it is important to seek medical attention and examination in a timely manner, and not to endure them. Early intervention and adjustment are essential to minimize suffering and prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems.

       Many people's attitude towards hemorrhoids is: endure if possible, and delay if possible. But Laiwo Medical would like to say that every "protest" of the body is not without reason. Instead of rushing to seek medical treatment when it becomes serious, it is better to start from now on, re-examine our daily habits, start from the details, abandon wrong nursing methods, and treat our bodies in a scientific and gentle way.
