I share my story of maintaining healthy habits after experiencing hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are a condition caused by swollen blood vessels around the anus, with pain and bleeding as the main symptoms. Causes include constipation and prolonged sitting. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery, while prevention can be achieved through regular bowel movements and fiber intake.

I usually consider myself confident in my health, but I couldn't pay close attention to my health amidst my busy daily life.

As a worker who spends most of the day sitting in the office, I usually eat delivery food or quickly grab a meal. Especially a meat-based diet and spicy foods.

I enjoyed snacks and rarely consumed vegetables and fruits.

Furthermore, my bathroom habits were not good.

Frequent constipation leads to sitting on the toilet for a long time or having a bowel movement.

There are many instances where excessive force is applied during viewing.

Over time, I started to feel pain during bowel movements, and occasionally

Although I noticed blood coming out, I did not take it seriously because I was busy.

I left it unattended thinking it would be okay, but the symptoms gradually...

It has worsened.

 

One day, I experienced extreme pain and suffering that made it difficult to sit in a chair, and the bleeding increased, so I decided to visit the hospital.

 

When I visited the hospital, the specialist examined my lifestyle habits and

After hearing the symptoms, it is determined that hemorrhoids have progressed severely.

Diagnosed.

It was explained that internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids occurred simultaneously, primarily caused by constipation, improper bathroom habits, and a sedentary lifestyle.

 

Treatment in the early stages involves medication and sitz baths.

I can manage it, but in my case, the condition has worsened.

It has been said that hemorrhoid surgery is necessary.

At first, I was scared when I heard the term hemorrhoid surgery, but

I could no longer endure the pain and decided to undergo hemorrhoid surgery.

 

🍇 Hemorrhoid surgery was relatively simple, and for a few days after the operation,

A recovery period was necessary. In the early stages of recovery, moving was difficult and even sitting was painful.

It gradually improved as time went on.

The doctor advises on lifestyle habits to prevent recurrence.

He emphasized that it must be improved.

After experiencing hemorrhoids, I realized how important it is to maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

The lessons learned and changes gained from this experience are as follows.

 

1. Improve eating habits

First, I changed my diet to prevent constipation. I make sure to include vegetables and fruits in all three meals a day.

I have started eating high-fiber foods frequently.

Reducing the intake of spicy and salty foods and consistently drinking more than 2 liters of water a day has greatly improved my health.

 

2. The importance of exercise

Unlike before when I spent long hours sitting, I now walk for at least 30 minutes a day or do light stretching. In particular, I have been combining exercises that promote blood circulation around the pelvis and have felt my health improve.

 

3. Improvement of bathroom habits

The biggest change is the habit in the bathroom.

Now, I don't exert myself until a mutation occurs, and I don't sit on the toilet for a long time. Even when bowel movements are not smooth, I have developed the habit of waiting naturally without forcing myself.

 

4. Do not ignore even minor symptoms

I realized that hemorrhoids can be avoided from greater pain if properly managed early on. If I had visited the hospital when I first noticed the symptoms, it wouldn't have been this painful. From now on, I will not ignore even minor abnormalities and will visit the hospital immediately.

 

Hemorrhoids are a common condition experienced by more people than expected, but from personal experience, they are simply uncomfortable.

I have come to realize that pain is something we must go through.

Through this experience, I deeply realized that health is the most fundamental and important element of life.

 

🍇 Hemorrhoid treatment is not something to be ashamed of or hide.

This is a disease that requires active treatment and prevention.

I took this experience as an opportunity to become healthier both physically and mentally.

I am striving for life.
