Dealing with hemorrhoids
in Health ·
I guess I’ll add my two cents too 😁
I dealt with hemorrhoids about three years back (heavy bleeding really delayed things). At first, I totally overhauled my diet, used plenty of Baxter, and made sure to walk a lot. Once things leveled out and they finally calmed down—which took maybe six months—I slowly started getting back to my old routine while keeping an eye on what specifically triggered them. Nowadays, too much processed meat, greasy stuff, hard-boiled eggs, and fast food just don't sit right with me. Alcohol—whether it's whiskey or red wine—and BBQ don't bother me much, though I have to be moderate about everything, obviously. In the meantime, I bumped up my workouts, which makes me feel way better, and I started eating more grains (just a bowl of cereal with milk every morning and nothing else).
I’d honestly suggest everyone just listen to their body instead of hunting for some quick fix. Hemorrhoids are basically a sign that we've been living a bit too recklessly and need to fix our habits. People tend to ignore them until things get bad enough that they end up needing surgery, but that doesn't actually fix the root cause—it just deals with the symptoms, so they usually just come back anyway.
