Pregnant women should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in their daily diet, and especially pay attention to eating more foods rich in crude fiber. Not all pregnant women will suffer from hemorrhoids. There are ways to prevent it. The main measures are:

1. Reasonable diet : Pregnant women should be careful not to eat or eat less spicy and irritating foods and condiments. At the same time, they should develop the habit of drinking more water, preferably light salt water or honey water. Pregnant women with constipation and hemorrhoids should consciously drink more water and eat more fruits and fresh vegetables. Especially vegetables and fruits rich in crude fiber. Try to eat less irritating foods such as chili, pepper, ginger, garlic, and onions.

2. Appropriate exercise: Pregnant women should not sit for long periods of time and should do appropriate exercise to promote blood circulation in the anorectal area. Do the anal lifting exercise (i.e. consciously contract the anus) 10 to 30 times a day. This can reduce congestion in the hemorrhoidal venous plexus, improve local blood circulation, and reduce the incidence of diseases.

3. Prevent constipation and diarrhea : Do not hold back your bowel movements for a long time. Develop a good habit of regular bowel movements. Do not read books or newspapers in the toilet while defecating. Avoid squatting in the toilet for a long time. Squatting for a long time can easily cause dilation or varicose veins in the anal canal, so as to avoid local irritation of the anus. However, the time spent squatting in the toilet each time should generally not exceed 10 minutes. If you cannot defecate in one go, you can get up and rest for a while before going again. When defecation is difficult, you can use some laxatives, such as Ma Ren Run Chang Wan, Guo Dao Tablets, etc. It is not advisable to use laxatives, and you should not use methods such as enema with high pressure to defecate, so as to avoid miscarriage or premature birth. .
