Patient's question:
After having a child, I developed hemorrhoids, and since then, I've had problems with bowel movements. The constipation causes small, difficult stools, and they are also infrequent and in low quantity. I want to know how to deal with constipation, small, difficult stools, and low frequency.Doctor's answer:
For patients with constipation, it is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain a habit of regular bowel movements, and also adopt dietary therapy with black sesame seeds, walnuts, etc., which can also be effective. Additionally, you can consciously perform kegel exercises to strengthen the tightness of the muscles around the anus and improve local blood circulation. It is important to pay attention to drinking more water, staying active, and eating more fruits and fibrous vegetables, which are beneficial for bowel movement. You can also appropriately use probiotic medications and laxatives to regulate your condition. If you have significant hemorrhoid problems that frequently recur and interfere with your daily life, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment for better results.
