Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen veins in the lower part of the anus and rectum. When the walls of these blood vessels stretch, they become irritated. Although hemorrhoids can be unpleasant and painful, they are often manageable and can even be prevented with proper care.
Hemorrhoids are categorized into two types: internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids are located inside the rectum and are typically not visible or painful, but they can bleed when irritated. External hemorrhoids occur under the skin around the anus and can be seen and felt; these may cause pain, especially when sitting, and can bleed if they rupture.
The symptoms of hemorrhoids vary depending on the type and severity but commonly include:

Various methods can be used to relieve hemorrhoid pain. First, sitz baths with hot water can be applied several times a day to relieve swelling and pain. In addition, applying cold compresses can also provide relief by reducing swelling in the hemorrhoid area.
Consuming fiber-rich foods in your diet can prevent constipation and reduce strain during defecation and therefore pressure on the hemorrhoid. Drinking plenty of water also helps to relieve pain by softening the stool.
In addition, hemorrhoid creams and suppositories available from pharmacies can relieve pain and itching when applied locally. Painkillers can also be used to relieve pain in the short term. However, if complaints persist for a long time, it is important to see a doctor.
Hemorrhoids usually cause discomfort, pain, and itching in the anus and rectum area, but they do not directly cause abdominal pain. Abdominal pain can be a symptom of another problem with the digestive system. However, when hemorrhoids are associated with problems with bowel movements, such as constipation, they can indirectly cause abdominal discomfort. If you experience severe abdominal pain along with hemorrhoids, it is recommended that you see a doctor as there may be another underlying condition.
People with hemorrhoids can help relieve their symptoms by avoiding certain foods. First, spicy foods, especially hot peppers and spicy sauces, can worsen hemorrhoid symptoms by stimulating bowel movements. Therefore, it is important to stay away from spicy foods.
Low-fiber foods can also trigger hemorrhoid symptoms. Low-fiber foods, such as white bread, white rice, and processed foods, can cause constipation, straining during bowel movements, and increase pressure on hemorrhoids.
Additionally, fried and fatty foods can make it harder to digest and slow down bowel movements. These types of foods can worsen hemorrhoid symptoms. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption can dehydrate the body and cause constipation, so people with hemorrhoids should limit their alcohol intake.
Caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea, and cola, can cause fluid loss, negatively affecting bowel movements, and can increase constipation. Similarly, excessively salty foods can cause water retention, increase swelling, and worsen hemorrhoid symptoms.
As a result, avoiding these foods and following a fiber-rich diet may help relieve the discomfort of hemorrhoids.
There are several effective methods for relieving hemorrhoidal itching. Warm water sitz baths can be used to relieve itching and irritation in the hemorrhoid area. Warm water sitz baths for 10-15 minutes several times a day can provide relief.
Keeping it clean and dry is an important way to relieve itching. Gently cleaning the area and then gently drying it to keep it away from moisture can help reduce itching. It is also possible to prevent irritation by gently cleaning with a wet wipe or cotton after the toilet.
Hemorrhoid creams and ointments, cortisone or anti-itch creams available from pharmacies can relieve itching and discomfort. These creams can be applied topically and provide rapid relief.
Finally, it is also important to prevent constipation, which triggers hemorrhoid itching, by facilitating bowel movements with a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water. These methods can relieve itching and discomfort, but if symptoms persist, it is necessary to see a doctor.
