What should I do for relieving the symptoms and anal bleeding?
Overall dietary and lifestyle modification can help prevent the excess pressure and damage to the anal cushions. Try incorporating some of the following advice into your daily routine to help protect against the occurrence of anal symptoms and their recurrence. 3,6
Eat high fibre foods
Try including more high fiber foods in your diet such as fruits, vegetables, brown rice, wholewheat pasta and wholemeal breads. These will keep your stools soft and avoid constipation (which can help to avoid hard stool on the anal mucosa which may cause damage to the anal cushions).
Exercise
Regular exercise will help relax muscles and increase blood flow for better healing.
Drink plenty of fluids
Drinking plenty of fluids (especially water) will help keep your stools soft and manageable.
Go when you need to
If you wait to pass a bowel movement, it can result in your stool becoming dry and harder to pass.
Try a fibre supplement
A fiber supplement can help ensure you are getting enough fiber in your diet if you struggle to get enough through foods.
Avoid sitting for too long
Sitting for too long, particularly on the toilet can increase the pressure on the veins around your anus making them more susceptible to prolapse.
Don’t strain
Straining on the toilet can put even more unwanted pressure on the blood vessels and aggravate an already sensitive area.
In addition to lifestyle modifications, there are a range of treatments available for easing relieving symptoms such as anal pain and bleeding, including oral flavonoids agents (Daflon) , gels, creams and suppositories.
