Management and overcoming of hemorrhoids

Management and overcoming of hemorrhoids
As someone who has experienced hemorrhoids, I am sharing my daily management methods and the process of overcoming it.
I have hemorrhoids that worsen when I am tired or my condition deteriorates.
Considering the characteristics, I will provide practical advice.

I had quite a hard time because of hemorrhoids, especially when I was tired or my body was weak, the symptoms would worsen. Still, by consistently managing and undergoing treatment, I have improved a lot now. I will honestly share with my friends the management methods and treatment process I experienced.

The beginning of treatment for external hemorrhoids through dietary regulation is managing gut health. Since constipation worsens the symptoms, it is important to consume foods rich in fiber. I eat oatmeal with blueberries every morning and drink more than 2 liters of water a day. Probiotic yogurt also helps with bowel movements, which significantly improved my symptoms.

Maintaining cleanliness and anal hygiene through sitz baths are essential parts of hemorrhoid treatment. Gently wash with warm water after bowel movements, and use unscented bidet or mild soap. Sitting in warm water for 10 minutes 2 to 3 times a day can improve blood circulation and reduce pain. I added a drop of lavender oil to my sitz bath for a relaxing healing time.

Exercise and posture management Sitting or standing for long periods is not good for hemorrhoids. I developed a habit of standing up every 30 minutes to stretch or walk lightly. Core exercises like yoga or Pilates significantly helped improve pelvic blood flow and aided in treatment. However, it is advisable to avoid heavy weightlifting.
Regular sleep also plays a significant role in treatment, so I recommend going to bed before 11 PM.

Overcoming hemorrhoids requires consistency. At first, I used hemorrhoid ointment purchased at a pharmacy, and the swelling subsided quickly. However, if symptoms persist for more than a week, it is essential to see a specialist. I was hesitant at first, but visiting a proctologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan made me feel much more at ease.
I followed the doctor's instructions to take the medication, and I strictly adhered to sitz baths and dietary adjustments. This was a great help in preventing recurrence.
In conclusion
Well... Hemorrhoids are a bothersome condition, but with consistent treatment and management, they can definitely improve. I was initially confused too, but combining sitz baths, exercise, and dietary adjustments helped me recover significantly. If symptoms worsen, I recommend not worrying alone and consulting a specialist. I will cheer you on in your journey to regain a healthy daily life!
