How can I still get hemorrhoids even if my stool is not dry?
The development of hemorrhoids despite not having dry stools may be associated with factors such as poor bowel habits, prolonged sitting, and improper diet. It is recommended that patients promptly visit a hospital, complete relevant examinations, and undergo targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Poor Bowel Habits: If one reads books, watches a phone, etc., during bowel movements, it may lead to prolonged bowel movements, easily causing congestion and edema in the anal area, thereby inducing hemorrhoids. It is recommended that patients develop good bowel habits and avoid squatting in the toilet for extended periods.
2. Prolonged Sitting: If one frequently sits for extended periods, it may obstruct blood circulation in the anal area, easily leading to varicose external hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids. It is recommended that patients engage in appropriate activities such as walking to promote local blood circulation.
3. Improper Diet: If one frequently consumes spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers, ginger, or frequently drinks alcohol, it may cause congestion and swelling of the anal mucosa, thereby inducing hemorrhoids. It is recommended that patients maintain a light diet, consume fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, bananas, and spinach, and abstain from alcohol and smoking.
4. Other Factors: Long-term constipation or diarrhea may increase the pressure within the anus and rectum, thus inducing hemorrhoids. It is recommended that patients adhere to the doctor's instructions and take medications such as lactulose oral solution for treatment. In cases of anal fissures, which may lead to skin tears in the anal canal accompanied by pain and other symptoms, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, combined with the application of erythromycin ointment and other medications for treatment.
