"What Should I Do If Something Bulges Out After Straining Too Hard While Having a Bowel Movement?"

When something protrudes due to excessive effort during bowel movements, it is considered to be caused by hemorrhoids. The main symptoms of hemorrhoids include bleeding during bowel movements, painful bowel movements, rectal pain, protrusion of lumps from the anus, discharge of secretions, and itching and bleeding of the anus and perianal skin. Corresponding treatment plans and methods should be given according to specific conditions.

For elderly individuals or those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, palliative therapy should be adopted to avoid life-threatening complications caused by surgery, anesthesia, and other stimuli, which could lead to severe consequences. For patients with hemorrhoids who are in good physical condition and without severe cardiovascular diseases, early surgical treatment or drug injection should be performed for thorough treatment to prevent the condition from worsening or delaying treatment, which could negatively impact future quality of life and treatment outcomes.

It is recommended to maintain a light diet, ensure smooth bowel movements, take one tablespoon of sesame oil orally before going to bed every night, or consume an appropriate amount of honey in the morning, develop the habit of having bowel movements every morning, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and refrain from drinking strong alcohol. If hemorrhoids are swollen, a 30-minute hot water bath can be taken daily.
