Hemorrhoids warning, do not explain, do not continue those habits that may aggravate the condition at the cost of ignoring health. Hemorrhoids, a common disease that is not fatal but makes people feel uncomfortable, often grows quietly due to bad living habits and eating habits. If not adjusted in time, it will not only affect the quality of daily life, but may also cause more serious complications.
First, avoid sitting for a long time. In modern life, many people need to sit in front of the computer for a long time due to work, or indulge in mobile phones, games and other entertainment activities, which leads to poor blood circulation around the anus and varicose venous plexus to form hemorrhoids. Therefore, every hour of work or entertainment, you should get up and move for a few minutes, do simple stretching exercises, promote blood circulation throughout the body, and reduce anal pressure.
Secondly, avoid spicy and greasy food. Spicy foods such as peppers, ginger, garlic, and high-fat foods such as fried and grilled foods will irritate the intestinal mucosa, increase the pain during defecation, and even aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. You should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, spinach, apples, bananas, etc. These foods help soften stool and reduce friction during defecation, thereby protecting the anus from further damage. At the same time, maintain adequate water intake and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to help intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
In addition, bowel habits are crucial. Avoid excessive force or squatting for a long time during defecation, which will not only increase the burden on the anus, but may also cause rectal mucosal prolapse. You should develop the habit of regular bowel movements and try to shorten the bowel movement time to less than 5 minutes. If you encounter constipation, do not force defecation. You can try to use auxiliary tools such as enema, or consult a doctor to take mild laxatives.
In addition, keeping the anus clean is also an important part of preventing hemorrhoids. After each bowel movement, gently clean the anus with warm water, and avoid wiping with too rough paper towels to avoid scratching the skin. If conditions permit, you can use a sitz bath for warm water to promote blood circulation and relieve anal discomfort.
Finally, it should be emphasized that once you find yourself with hemorrhoid symptoms, such as anal pain, bleeding, itching, etc., you should seek medical attention in time, and never buy medication or listen to folk prescriptions. The doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the severity of the disease, including medication, physical therapy, and even surgical treatment. At the same time, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, realize that hemorrhoids are not an unspeakable disease, and timely and effective treatment can greatly improve the quality of life.
In short, hemorrhoids are small, but they cannot be ignored. By adjusting living habits, improving dietary structure, cultivating good bowel habits, and keeping the anus clean, we can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of hemorrhoids. Remember, health is the cornerstone of a happy life. Caring for yourself starts with paying attention to every detail.
