Hello,
With the question “How to prevent hemorrhoids? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
In your case, with the symptoms you provided, the doctor has not yet figured out what your anal condition is like. You should go to a reputable hospital to be examined by a specialist doctor directly. The anal exam is also quick and painless, so you don't have to worry.
To prevent hemorrhoids and relieve hemorrhoid symptoms, follow these methods:
Eat foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains eg wheat, oats, barley, corn, brown rice, rye, millet, ... help soften stools and increase stool volume. Drink plenty of water, should drink enough 2 liters of water a day to help soften stools. Do not push hard when having a bowel movement because trying to push will put more pressure on the veins in the lower rectum, causing hemorrhoids to enlarge and bleed easily. Go to the toilet as soon as you feel the urge. Exercise every day, avoid sitting for a long time. If you still have questions about hemorrhoids, 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!
