Eating persimmons cannot prevent hemorrhoids. Persimmons are a kind of food and fruit, and have no medicinal effects, so they cannot prevent hemorrhoids. If you want to prevent hemorrhoids, you can do so by avoiding predisposing factors, adjusting your diet, actively exercising, maintaining good bowel habits, and so on. Here are some specific methods:
1. Avoid predisposing factors: The occurrence of hemorrhoids is related to increased venous pressure around the anus. Frequent consumption of spicy and stimulating foods, alcohol, prolonged sitting, and long bowel movements can easily lead to venous congestion around the anus, causing varicose veins and triggering hemorrhoids.
2. Adjust your diet: Eating spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili, mustard, and hot pot, can stimulate congestion in the anus, causing varicose veins in the surrounding tissues and inducing hemorrhoids. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber, such as celery and bananas, which help maintain bowel regularity, reduce or prevent constipation, and thus prevent hemorrhoids to a certain extent.
3. Actively exercise: Prolonged sitting or lack of exercise can easily lead to decreased muscle contraction ability around the anus, causing obstruction of local venous return and increasing the incidence of hemorrhoids. It is recommended to regularly participate in various physical exercises, such as jogging, hiking, swimming, etc., which can promote blood circulation and improve blood circulation around the anus, helping to prevent hemorrhoids.
4. Maintain good bowel habits: Habitual stool retention can cause the stool to stay in the intestine for a prolonged period, resulting in water absorption and making the stool dry. This can lead to difficulty in bowel movements, making it difficult for the stool to pass through the anus, which can increase venous pressure and become one of the predisposing factors for hemorrhoids. It is recommended to have regular bowel movements every day and avoid using mobile phones or other reading materials during bowel movements, which can help prevent hemorrhoids.
In addition to the above methods, you can also improve local blood circulation by taking a warm water sitz bath, which promotes venous return and can also help prevent hemorrhoids.
