How to treat hemorrhoids with dietary therapy

Food does not have a curative effect on hemorrhoids. Dietary recommendations for patients with hemorrhoids include avoiding alcohol, refraining from spicy and irritating foods, drinking plenty of water, consuming more foods rich in dietary fiber, and avoiding overly hard foods. Alcohol can irritate the stomach and intestines, increase gastric acid secretion, and lead to constipation or diarrhea, both of which increase intra-abdominal pressure during bowel movements and thereby worsen hemorrhoid symptoms.

Can patients with hemorrhoids drink alcohol?

Alcohol is warm in nature and highly irritating. After consumption, it causes vasodilation and accelerates blood circulation. For patients with hemorrhoids, the anal area already has varicose venous plexuses. Alcohol consumption leads to further local vascular congestion, aggravating hemorrhoidal swelling and worsening symptoms such as pain and rectal bleeding. At the same time, alcohol also irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa, affects normal digestive function, and may easily cause constipation or diarrhea.
