Anal pain and discomfort should be considered whether it is a hemorrhoid problem.
Hemorrhoids are the most common cause of pain in the anal area, especially after eating spicy and stimulating foods. These foods can irritate hemorrhoids and cause swelling of the rectal mucosa around the anus, making the pain even more severe. Therefore, diet for hemorrhoid patients is very important.
In addition to hemorrhoids, anal pain should also be considered whether it is caused by inflammation of the muscle fibers around the anus or damage to the soft tissue. These injuries, if persistent, can cause irritating pain in the surrounding nerves, resulting in a distinct stabbing sensation upward from the anus.
For sciatic pain, one should be vigilant about whether it is sciatic nerve or trigeminal nerve pain, especially for those with lumbar disc herniation. Prolonged sitting and compression of the nerves around the vertebral disc may lead to trigeminal nerve pain, radiating to the perianal area, causing pain around the anus.
When experiencing pain from a bland diet, it is important to understand the cause of the pain first. Treatments and solutions for pain caused by different factors vary. It is recommended that hemorrhoid patients pay attention to their diet, avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, refrain from alcohol, and focus on a bland and easily digestible diet to prevent constipation.
