Question
Hello doctor,
I want to ask about my digestive status. I eat well, but I can't go out for a week and have to rely on medicine to help me solve it. So the doctor asked me if I didn't go outside for a week, is it hemorrhoids? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “A week without bowel movements is hemorrhoids? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You do not have a bowel movement for 1 week, need to use supportive medicine, the current symptoms are usually not related to hemorrhoids.
First of all, you need to adjust your diet and activities:
Drink enough water a day at least 1.5 - 2 liters. Increase eating foods high in fiber: green vegetables, fresh fruits,... Limit refined foods such as condensed soups (potatoes, mashed carrots...), fast foods (fast food), hot foods, stimulants such as pepper, hot chili, condensed tea, cocoa. Limit alcohol, coffee, and smoking. Maintain bowel movements 1 time / day, go on time, it is best to practice the habit of going in the morning or evening. Increase daily exercise effectively 30-60 minutes/day. If the above condition still does not improve, you need to see a gastroenterologist for specific advice.
If you still have questions about a week without going out, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
