FAQs about Hemorrhoids

I take a good shower every day, I eat a diet that contains fiber and drink a lot of water, is this enough to prevent hemorrhoids?

Of course, what you do is good and basic, but it cannot completely prevent hemorrhoids because there is a genetic basis for hemorrhoids, but these diets help to delay the occurrence of hemorrhoids and reduce the possibility of their occurrence. I advise you to continue what you are doing.

I have external hemorrhoids, which a doctor diagnosed for me a while ago and told me that I have to have an operation, but I did not, the pain and blood have completely disappeared. Do I ignore the matter that may make the hemorrhoids develop badly?

External hemorrhoids are external swellings, and when the doctor advised you to perform the operation, it may be due to the presence of thrombosis in the hemorrhoid and thrombosis must disappear within 3 weeks or require a thrombus procedure, ignoring the matter does not make the hemorrhoids develop, but it may recur again, and if it recurs, it requires examination and treatment according to Put it down that time.

Today I saw a one-time amount of blood in my stool. Are these hemorrhoids? If repeated, when should I visit the doctor?

Exiting blood with stool without feeling pain is one of the most important indications of internal hemorrhoids, and I advise to see a doctor immediately when seeing blood and not waiting to see blood again and again, because the treatment of hemorrhoids in which hemorrhoids are in the advanced stages in which hemorrhoids are in the first and second degree Fast, simple and easy, and does not require complicated procedures.

I have removed the hemorrhoids that I have had for several years, but I am experiencing similar pains to what I had previously suffered, can the hemorrhoids return?

This is a good question, as the likelihood of hemorrhoids recurring varies from patient to patient, and also varies according to the method that was treated, so hemorrhoids can come back of course. For example, in the case of Doppler treatment, the probability of recurrence of hemorrhoids is 5%, and it exceeds 20% if laser treatment is done with the rest of the methods.
