How to reduce swelling of hemorrhoids after childbirth?

Most women will develop a series of diseases if they do not pay attention to maintenance during the confinement period after giving birth. Hemorrhoids are one of them. Hemorrhoids are not external hemorrhoids or internal hemorrhoids, but they all have the same symptoms, that is, anal swelling and pain. Pregnant women may become weaker after having hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids are not treated well, there may be many sequelae, such as anemia. So, how to reduce swelling of hemorrhoids after childbirth?

1. Rapid swelling reduction of hemorrhoids

1. Use flat hemorrhoid flower water to reduce swelling quickly, and take Chinese medicine for lubricating the intestines at the same time.

2. Sit on soft seats less often; modern people have a lot of hemorrhoids. One of the reasons is that they sit on soft seats too much, which causes blood circulation in the anus, forming blood clots and eventually leading to hemorrhoids.

3. Participate in more sports; this is especially useful for office workers. At work, you sit most of the time. Taking part in sports can stretch your muscles and bones, promote blood circulation, and prevent you from getting hemorrhoids.

4. Don’t sit still for a long time; sometimes when we sit for a long time, our neck will feel sore, the same goes for the buttocks. The anus suffers the most, so you should move around after sitting for an hour.

5. Wash your belly button every day when you take a shower (friends with hemorrhoids, please take a look at how dirty your belly button is); any disease starts from dirtiness. Don’t think that a dirty belly button will not affect the anus. You are wrong. The belly button is our mouth when we are still in the mother’s placenta, and there are acupoints on the belly button. Dirty acupoints will affect the anus.

6. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and less grilled or fried foods; fruits and vegetables can help with bowel movements and are less likely to cause constipation; grilled or fried foods are very hot, and eating too much of them will put a heavy burden on the anus.

2. Precautions for hemorrhoids in pregnant women

1. Drink water frequently and exercise more. When you get hemorrhoids just after childbirth, you must remember to drink boiled water. After getting up every morning, don’t do anything. Drink a glass of boiled water first to moisten your stomach and intestines. This will make you feel less pain when going to the toilet. Another thing is to exercise more and avoid sitting for long periods of time. For example, running or walking more often can help improve hemorrhoids.

2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Hemorrhoids aggravate constipation, and constipation aggravates hemorrhoids. The cycle continues and they are inseparable. So, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can promote gastrointestinal motility, relieve constipation, have bowel movements on time every day, and relieve hemorrhoid pain.

3. Don’t eat spicy food. Spicy food refers to the condiments added to dishes when cooking, such as ginger and garlic. If you cannot control your mouth and eat spicy food, then even if your hemorrhoids are being treated or have just improved, they will become more and more serious and will become worse because of eating spicy food.

4. Use medication. Mild hemorrhoids can be completely cured by taking some medicine. However, for some patients with hemorrhoids who experience bloody stools and anal fissures, general medications will not work. If you want to buy some effective medicines, you can search online, read the reviews, and then buy them.

5. Go see a doctor, you may need surgery. When you have tried all the methods and your hemorrhoids still don't get better, you should see a doctor. The doctor will give you symptomatic treatment, prescribe medication, or may recommend surgery based on your condition.
