Patient's question:
I often suffer from hemorrhoids and constipation. This morning, I sat on the toilet for a long time, and my hemorrhoids got irritated, causing abdominal discomfort. I should eat some hard-to-digest foods because my absorption has always been poor. Can you tell me about the treatment for hemorrhoids and related preventive measures? Does hemorrhoids lead to high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hemorrhoids often lead to constipation and skin breakdown. Generally, hemorrhoids have no relation to high blood pressure. It is recommended to pay attention to regulation in daily life, maintain a regular schedule, avoid overtime work, drink more warm water, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, apples, and kiwis. A nutritious diet helps prevent spicy and other irritating foods, ensuring smooth bowel movements and maintaining local hygiene. When necessary, seek medical attention at a formal hospital with a department of anorectal medicine for proper diagnosis and treatment.
