Patient's question:
I have been suffering from constipation for several years. I haven't received any treatment for it, and it has been getting worse. I am very concerned. I would like to understand why constipation can lead to hemorrhoids?Doctor's answer:
If you have chronic constipation, it may lead to the recurrence of hemorrhoids because prolonged straining during bowel movements causes excessive strain on the anus. In daily life, you should eat more foods that promote bowel movement to help alleviate constipation. It is necessary to correct bad habits and adjust your diet by increasing the intake of high-fiber vegetables and fruits, and consuming appropriate amounts of coarse, high-fiber grains such as standard flour, tubers, corn, barley, and others.
