What's the matter with the anal swelling and pain and inability to pull out?

It may be caused by anal inflammation or hemorrhoids. Try to eat light food in your daily diet, eat more easily digestible food, do not eat spicy food, avoid staying up late and overwork, take a hot water bath every day, and seek medical treatment in time when necessary.

How to treat severe hemorrhoids?

1. Hydrotherapy. Water is a great relief for hemorrhoid inflammation, pain, and itching. You can apply cold compresses to your anus several times a day or take a warm water sitz bath for 10 minutes, which is also very good for relieving hemorrhoids. Many patients have found that using wet wipes instead of toilet paper can also help relieve hemorrhoids.

2. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber. A high-fiber diet can soften stools and relieve hemorrhoid pain. Health guidelines recommend that men and women should eat 38 grams of fiber and 25 grams of cellulose per day. High-fiber foods include: fruits and vegetables, beans, whole-grain cereals, etc.

3. Drink more water. Drinking more water can prevent dry stools and thus relieve the pain of hemorrhoids. Normally, you should drink at least 8 cups of water a day (each cup is about 227 grams). In summer and after exercise, you should drink more water than normal. Also, avoid or limit alcoholic and caffeinated beverages.

4. Ensure adequate exercise every day. Exercise is an important part of preventing and relieving constipation. People who sit for long periods of time should get up and move around for a few minutes every hour. Avoid squatting in the toilet for too long, it is best to control it to about 5 minutes, and try not to lift heavy objects or other activities that aggravate hemorrhoid symptoms.

5. Don’t hold your bowel movements. Patients with hemorrhoids must avoid holding back their bowel movements. Otherwise, it will easily lead to constipation and increase the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

6. Special care should be received during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are very likely to occur during pregnancy and after childbirth. In order to ensure the health of mother and child, pregnant women should check as soon as possible if they find problems such as rectal itching or pain. One of the key measures for self-regulation of hemorrhoids during pregnancy is to lie on your left side when you lie down. This can reduce blood vessel pressure and avoid venous swelling and hemorrhoids.
