Hemorrhoid Starts Bleeding After Eating Spicy Food. Passing Normal Stool. What's Going On?
Question: Why when I eat spicy food especially curry, sometimes my hemmaroid starts to bleed? The blood is bright red and I can feel the small protrusion of hemarroid when I touch with my finger. My stool appears to be normal and not dark or black in color. Thank you. XXXXXXX
Hi
Thanks for writing in
Hemorrhoids and spicy meals have a strong relationship
It is presumed that because of the mucosal irritation and inflammation the hemorrhoidal tissue gets swollen
I would suggest you rather avoid Spicy, Fermented, and fried foods to avoid inflammation
Take extra fiber to prevent getting constipated and take some antiinflammatory and sitz bath to reduce inflammation
Hemorrhoidal bledding is bright red and the bleeding from upper GI Track is black
Hope this replies to your query
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
