How to treat hemorrhoids in children?

Nowadays, many parents are worried about their children suffering from hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are generally common among adults, but nowadays many children also suffer from hemorrhoids, so parents are very anxious and don’t know what to do. There are many reasons that cause hemorrhoids in children. To treat hemorrhoids in children, we need to start from many aspects. Now I will tell you how to treat hemorrhoids in children.

The first step in treating hemorrhoids is to keep the bowels open and eat easily digestible food with less residue. The diet should be a combination of coarse and fine foods, drink less strong tea, coffee, alcohol and eat less spicy food to reduce irritation to the anal canal. Take a warm water sitz bath after defecation and apply hemorrhoid suppository or hemorrhoid ointment topically. Depending on the condition, injection therapy, cryotherapy and physical therapy can be used. Severe cases can be treated with surgery, including ligation, rubber band ligation, hemorrhoidectomy, etc.

The causes and persistence of hemorrhoids are closely related to diet, so dietary adjustments and correction of bad eating habits are important measures to prevent and treat hemorrhoids.

In life, you need to limit the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and avoid overeating barbecued, greasy, hard and indigestible foods. These foods can cause gastrointestinal stagnation, meridian discomfort, blood circulation problems, dampness and heat, or damage the intestinal mucosa, thereby causing hemorrhoids. To actively prevent constipation, you should regularly eat coarse grains, beans, and fresh vegetables and fruits rich in crude fiber, such as celery, greens, spinach, cabbage, oranges, pears, figs, etc., which can increase intestinal motility. People with good chewing function can eat more cold dishes, drink more water, and eat foods such as jelly and aspic to make the stool soft and lubricated for easy excretion.

Many parents spoil their children and develop many bad habits in them, and these habits are also an important reason for children to suffer from hemorrhoids. If you want to treat your child's hemorrhoids, in addition to surgery, you can also treat it through lifestyle and diet. I have also talked about dietary treatment above. If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. I hope my explanation will be helpful to every parent.
