The anus "cries for help" because of abusing a familiar spice
Mr. NQT came to the Department of Surgery, Thu Cuc TCI for examination after a long period of pain and burning when defecating, accompanied by blood in the anus, and a burning, uncomfortable feeling that made daily activities and movement difficult. He said: "I feel that every time I go to the toilet, it is difficult, there is an object stuck, the pain is very annoying."
Through clinical examination with the above symptoms, Mr. T. was prescribed a rectal endoscopy, the results showed that he had mixed hemorrhoids: external hemorrhoids with many excess skin folds along with some internal hemorrhoids inside the anus, in addition to anal fissures.
During the examination, patient T. shared about his eating and living habits: “I am addicted to spicy food. Every dish must have chili, and a lot of it to be delicious. I eat fresh chili, stewed chili, spices like chili sauce, satay, etc. every day.”

According to experts, hemorrhoids are closely related to digestion. Overuse of spicy foods can cause negative effects such as irritation of the stomach and intestinal mucosa, causing heat in the body and constipation. Indigestion and constipation often make it difficult to defecate, requiring strong straining to push the stool out. Therefore, constipation comes first, followed by hemorrhoids.
Therefore, although spicy food is not a direct cause of hemorrhoids, it is one of the factors that increase the risk of this disease. In addition, there are many other factors related to diet that also promote hemorrhoids such as: low-fiber diet due to eating few green vegetables and fruits, regularly eating too much protein, using alcohol and stimulants regularly, drinking little water,...
In addition, sedentary work, frequent sitting, or long bowel habits are also factors that contribute to increasing the risk of disease.

Mr. T. said that he had done some research on the harmful effects of eating spicy food as well as the necessity of treating hemorrhoids. However, he shared: “I was worried that treating hemorrhoids would be painful and time-consuming, so I endured it for a long time. I was also subjective and still ate spicy food. Now the pain is too much to bear, so I went to see a doctor.”
What to do to push back hemorrhoids?
Patient T. was admitted by Dr. Phi Van Tu, Deputy Head of Surgery Department, Thu Cuc TCI. According to the doctor, in this case, surgical intervention is needed to avoid complications.
Mr. T. was treated with Laser Diode hemorrhoid cauterization - an advanced hemorrhoid treatment method currently applied effectively by TCI. "We are implementing a non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment method using Laser Diode, with the advantage of minimal invasion, completely preserving the anatomical structure, helping patients reduce pain, discharge quickly, minimize complications such as pain, bleeding, infection, anal stenosis, short hospital stay, early return to work and normal life", Dr. Tu shared.

After spinal anesthesia, the burning process lasted about 30 minutes and went smoothly, patient T. was alert and talked comfortably throughout the procedure. Doctor Phi Van Tu said: “The width of the laser path into the hemorrhoid is only about 1-2mm, so the invasiveness is very low. In addition, the risk of infection is very low because the surgical wound is almost non-existent. Thanks to that, Mr. T. recovered after about 5-6 hours and was discharged from the hospital about 1 day later.”
According to Dr. Phi Van Tu, hemorrhoid patients who want to get rid of hemorrhoids completely need to go to a medical facility for examination and specialized treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. Depending on the stage, the disease is treated with appropriate methods. In the mild stage, it can be treated with medication, when it has progressed and become severe, the patient needs surgical intervention to remove the hemorrhoids and limit complications, avoiding leaving hemorrhoids untreated for a long time.

In addition, Dr. Phi Van Tu added that nutritional factors also need to be focused on to prevent constipation, limit the increase in pressure on the anorectal area and lead to hemorrhoids. To support the digestive system to function smoothly, it is necessary to supplement enough fiber and maintain the necessary amount of water.
You should limit spicy, hot, greasy foods, fried foods, stimulants, high-protein foods regularly, etc. and combine with reasonable exercise.
“Do not sit in one position for too long, increase exercise and avoid movements that increase abdominal pressure,” the doctor emphasized.
