Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Patients can prevent hemorrhoids through dietary adjustments and maintaining regular bowel movements. For example, increase consumption of vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate dietary fiber intake. Avoid exposing the anal area to cold temperatures and prolonged standing. Get sufficient rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Steer clear of all negative emotions and refrain from anger or irritability. Daily sitz baths using warm water mixed with salt can help both prevent and manage hemorrhoids.
