How does nutrition affect the course of the disease?

Incorrectly selected menu, non-compliance with the diet become additional triggering factors that affect the exacerbation of the disease. Often, patients begin to adhere to a diet only at a time when an exacerbation of the disease occurs. Although the correct menu can prevent the very development of the pathological process.

A certain food set, for example, smoked, spicy, spicy dishes, alcohol-containing drinks, will increase the venous blood flow to the vessels of the small pelvis. Their systematic overflow naturally overloads the vessels, eventually leading to the formation of hemorrhoids.

Also, an exacerbation of hemorrhoids can occur due to the predominance of heavy, fatty foods in the menu. Such a diet contributes to a regular delay in bowel movement, and constipation has a negative effect on the course of the disease. The situation is aggravated by insufficient drinking regime.

The basic principles of a diet for hemorrhoids, constipation

• Uninterrupted bowel function. In order for the intestines to work in the system and not malfunction, it needs products that are of plant origin. They contain coarse, indigestible fiber, which helps soften stool and works like a brush, naturally emptying the intestines. The emptying process takes place in a timely manner and without any difficulties. Moreover, if the nodes are already there, they will not be severely injured and cause pain during the act of defecation. In addition, fiber helps maintain normal intestinal microflora.
• Compliance with the drinking regime. The normal flow of fluid into the body ensures the softening of hard stools.

The harder the patient pushes, the higher the load on the intestinal walls, which means the higher the risk of hemorrhoids trauma. Often it is straining that leads to such a complication of the disease as an anal fissure. This slows down the healing process and makes therapy more difficult.
• The principle of fractional nutrition. If a person eats at certain hours, then his intestines will eventually get used to the routine and tune in to a given time regime.

• Avoiding wheat bran. Wheat bran is a useful product, but if you have hemorrhoids, they should be limited if they contribute to adverse symptoms. Bran can be replaced with dried fruit, but it must be soaked in advance.
• Lactulose preparations can have a positive effect on the functioning of the intestines. They are taken as directed by a physician and are often a dietary supplement. It can be means such as: Medulak, Duphalac, Lactusan, Normase, Goodluck.
