Dehydration, sedentary lifestyle, wrong food intake, fiber less diet triggers symptoms of hemorrhoids and causes discomfort, itching, and bleeding, especially during bowel movements. Avoid intake of hot, spicy oily food. Prefer to take home made plain boiled food over fried food.
Avoid taking food that takes long to digest. Take lean meat. Red meat triggers
constipation. Avoid taking any food that causes constipation. For relief, take sitz bath 2-3 times daily, cold compression is helpful. Do not strain yourself during bowel movement. Do regular walking in the morning & evening to avoid constipation.
