What should I do if I have hemorrhoids and blood in my stool during lactation?

The phenomenon of hemorrhoids and blood in the stool during lactation is a common phenomenon among postpartum female friends. At this time, of course, you must pay attention to the correct coping methods, pay attention to keeping the bowels unobstructed, develop good bowel habits, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep the area around the anus clean to prevent infection.

1. Keep bowel movements smooth and develop a habit of daily bowel movements. Hemorrhoid bleeding is mostly caused by constipation. Straining during defecation increases abdominal pressure, causing increased pressure in the hemorrhoidal veins and rupture and bleeding. Other causes are dry and hard stools, which rub the hemorrhoidal veins when passing through the anus, causing bleeding. Experts say that eating more vegetables and drinking more water can prevent constipation. For those who have already suffered from constipation, eating more honey or sesame oil can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Regular bowel movements and eating less spicy foods can help reduce hemorrhoidal bleeding.

2. Keep the perianal area clean, clean it every day, and keep it dry to avoid aggravating the condition due to perianal infection.

3. Prevent anal infection and strengthen exercise. Experts say that ruptured hemorrhoids are easily contaminated by stool and become inflamed. Therefore, for those who have already experienced hemorrhoid bleeding, under the guidance of a doctor, you can strengthen anti-inflammatory measures. You can soak the anus in potassium permanganate solution 2-3 times a day; you can also inject hemorrhoid cream into the anus, which has laxative, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects. In addition, increased exercise can improve blood circulation and reduce pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins.

4. You can kneel on the bed every day, take the chest-knee position, and practice anal lifting exercises, which are also effective in reducing hemorrhoidal bleeding.
