First, increase the intake of dietary fiber.
Dietary fiber is a good friend of patients with hemorrhoids, which can increase intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, reduce constipation, and thus alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Here are some foods rich in dietary fiber:
1. Fruits: Apples, pears, grapefruit, grapes and other fruits are rich in dietary fiber, which helps to soften the stool and reduce the friction during defecation.
2. Vegetables: Vegetables such as spinach, celery, carrots and peas are rich in dietary fiber, which can increase intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.
3. Coarse grains: The dietary fiber content in coarse grains such as brown rice, oats and corn is high, which can help digestion and prevent constipation.
Second, drink more water.
Water is the source of life. For patients with hemorrhoids, drinking plenty of water can increase the water in the intestine, soften the stool and reduce the occurrence of constipation. It is recommended to drink no less than two liters of water every day, which can be divided into several times to avoid drinking too much water at one time.
Third, avoid spicy food.
Spicy food can stimulate intestinal mucosa and aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids should try to avoid eating spicy food, such as pepper, pepper and ginger. In addition, you should also avoid eating overheated and supercooled food, so as not to stimulate the intestines.
Fourth, eat less greasy food.
Greasy food will increase the burden on the intestines and aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids should try to reduce the intake of greasy food, such as fried food and animal fat. You can choose light cooking methods, such as steaming and stewing.
Five, moderate intake of vitamins
Vitamins are also important for patients with hemorrhoids. Vitamin c can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and promote wound healing; Vitamin E can improve blood circulation and relieve pain. Patients with hemorrhoids can eat foods rich in vitamin C in moderation, such as citrus fruits and kiwifruit. Eat foods rich in vitamin E in moderation, such as peanuts and almonds.
Sixth, pay attention to eating habits.
In addition to the choice of food, patients with hemorrhoids should also pay attention to their eating habits to avoid causing intestinal burden and irritation. Here are some suggestions about eating habits:
1. It is not appropriate to sit down and rest immediately after meals, but to exercise for a period of time to promote intestinal peristalsis.
2. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after a meal, so as not to affect the digestive function.
3. Eat slowly and avoid eating too fast.
4. Avoid overeating and try to control your food intake.

By increasing the intake of dietary fiber, drinking more water, avoiding spicy food, eating less greasy food, taking vitamins properly and paying attention to eating habits, patients with hemorrhoids can be helped to relieve symptoms and improve their quality of life.
