Why is my buttocks a bit painful when I go to the bathroom?
Pain in the buttocks area during defecation may be caused by constipation or some anorectal diseases. Some people prefer spicy foods in their daily diet, which can have a certain impact on bowel movements, leading to constipation. Over time, it may even lead to anorectal diseases, such as rectal bleeding. Therefore, it is important to adjust one's diet promptly.
1. Set a regular bowel movement time to avoid stool accumulation. Force yourself to defecate in the morning and make it a habit. It is best to defecate before 9 am. This can prevent stool from accumulating in the intestine, effectively avoid dry stool and constipation, reduce pressure on the anus, and reduce the occurrence of anal fissures. Some people, due to work reasons, rush to work after getting up in the morning and often have bowel movements only once or twice a day, which can lead to dry stool and easily cause anal fissures.
2. Keep a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Eating too much spicy and stimulating food can easily cause internal heat, leading to dry stool, constipation, and increased anus pressure, which can further lead to anal fissures. Therefore, one should maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods such as chili, pepper, ginger, garlic, etc. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, which can help relieve constipation and make bowel movements easier.
3. Avoid prolonged sitting and engage in moderate exercise. Some people, due to work reasons, have to sit for long periods, which can easily slow down gastrointestinal motility, leading to constipation and increased anus pressure. Therefore, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting and engage in moderate exercise. Regular exercise in daily life can not only improve one's resistance but also increase gastrointestinal motility, relieve constipation, and reduce the occurrence of anal fissures.
