Most people have their own unmentionable problems, and hemorrhoids are one of them. It is commonly said that "nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids, while all women have them." Hemorrhoids are a common problem that afflicts us. Only those who have experienced it can truly understand the discomfort it brings. But what causes this unmentionable problem?
1. Spending too much time on the toilet
People often bring a magazine or a mobile phone to pass the time during bowel movements. This habit is actually unhealthy. Reading or using a phone in the bathroom can prolong the time spent on the toilet, causing the rectum to be congested and under pressure for a long time. This can easily lead to varicose veins and increase the risk of developing hemorrhoids.
2. Prolonged sitting or standing
If your occupation requires prolonged standing or sitting, this greatly increases the risk of developing hemorrhoids. The rectum is located in the lower part of the body, and when sitting or standing for a long time, it is subjected to prolonged pressure due to gravity, which affects blood flow and causes varicose veins and hemorrhoids.
3. Spicy diet
Unhealthy eating habits are also a major factor in causing hemorrhoids. Eating spicy food, consuming alcohol, and other similar habits can irritate the rectum and anus, causing congestion and affecting blood flow, leading to the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
4. Constipation
Long-term constipation is also a cause of hemorrhoids. The feces stored in the intestines for a long time can affect blood circulation. In addition, dry stool requires more force to be eliminated during bowel movements, putting more pressure on the rectum and increasing the risk of hemorrhoids.
There are various ways to treat hemorrhoids. Paying attention to diet, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, doing pelvic floor exercises when you have the chance, and seeking medical treatment when hemorrhoids are severe are all effective methods. However, I would like to introduce a dietary therapy that is both delicious and can relieve hemorrhoids.
1. Mung Bean and Purple Rice Stewed with Large Intestine
Prepare an appropriate amount of mung beans, purple rice, and pork large intestine. Wash the large intestine, soak the mung beans and purple rice in water, then put them together in a pot with a small amount of water. Tie both ends of the intestine with thread, and add the appropriate seasonings after cooking until tender.
2. Black Fish and Papaya Soup
Prepare a black fish, an appropriate amount of garlic, and papaya. Clean the fish, garlic, and papaya, then cook them together to make a soup. This soup has the effect of promoting bowel movements and can effectively relieve constipation and hemorrhoids.
3. Banana and Vegetable Congee
Prepare an appropriate amount of bananas, green vegetables, and glutinous rice. Mash the bananas, cut the vegetables into thin strips, cook the glutinous rice in a pot, then add the mashed bananas and vegetable strips, and simmer for a while before adding seasonings.
Hemorrhoids are not a major illness, but when they occur, they can be quite uncomfortable. Try these three dietary therapies that are simple and effective in relieving hemorrhoids.
