With the eastward spread of Western culture in recent years, more and more "foreign festivals" are being accepted by the public, especially in the international metropolis of Shanghai. The annual Western Christmas is approaching, and the streets of Shanghai are already filled with a strong festive atmosphere. When chatting with friends, some have started to ask: What activities are there for Christmas? Where can we have fun? etc. The 2011 Christmas is sure to become a sea of celebration.
It's normal to celebrate lively during the festival, but after the excitement, you certainly don't want your body to suffer, right? Especially in the dry winter, it is essential to take preventive health measures to avoid any stress.
Proctology experts offer three key tips for protecting your anorectal health:
1. Stick to anal exercises: It is very important to persist in anal function exercises. This type of exercise can improve local blood circulation, reduce congestion and dilation of hemorrhoidal veins, increase the disease resistance of the anorectal area, and avoid and reduce the recurrence of hemorrhoids.
2. Keep bowel movements smooth: Develop a daily bowel habit. Eating more vegetables and drinking more water can prevent constipation. For those who already have constipation, you can appropriately eat more honey or sesame oil, which helps to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Regular bowel movements and eating less spicy and irritating food can help reduce hemorrhoidal bleeding.
3. Supplement with fiber foods: High-fiber foods don't just cause bloating; sometimes, quite the opposite, after consuming high-fat foods, they can sometimes have the effect of reducing bloating. The reason is that high-fat foods are difficult to digest and absorb, so they tend to stay in the digestive system for a long time. Once fiber is added, the blocked digestive system is likely to be quickly cleared.
Blood in stool must be taken seriously
In winter, eating hot pot is popular, and hot pot restaurants will definitely be full during Christmas. However, it is also not uncommon for people to have blood in their stool from eating hot pot. Therefore, experts here also want to popularize the issue of blood in stool.
The seemingly inconspicuous digestive waste is often a barometer that reflects the body's health status. Experts from Shanghai Zhongyou Hospital explain that blood in stool is a signal that the body is in a sub-healthy state. Beneath the surface of blood in stool, various anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, and even malignant tumors in the anorectal area are often hidden. However, it's a pity that many people do not pay enough attention to this, often procrastinating and letting the condition develop until the body can no longer bear it.
In general, cases of simply getting blood in stool from eating hot pot are not common, but anorectal diseases themselves are very prevalent. Many friends may already have anorectal problems. In this case, if they are further stimulated by a spicy hot pot, it is easy to have blood in stool. Therefore, we especially remind everyone that if you have blood in stool during this period, you must pay attention to it and it is best to go to the hospital to check the cause of the blood in stool in order to receive targeted treatment. Large general hospitals may not have clear divisions of departments, which may lead to a misdiagnosis of your condition. We recommend that you go to a professional anorectal hospital for consultation and treatment!
