Constipation often leads to serious conditions such as piles and fistulas. The causes and solutions for these are as follows:
1. Constipation Remedies
Constipation is a condition in which bowel movements are not smooth. To solve this:
Fiber-rich foods: Include spinach, legumes, oats, and bran rice in your diet. Fiber helps soften stools.
Plenty of water: Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily. Dehydration in the body can cause stools to become thick.
Papaya and fruits: Eating papaya or a well-ripened banana daily can help reduce constipation.
2. Piles/Hemorrhoids – Causes
This is a condition in which the blood vessels in the anus swell.
Main cause: Straining to pass stool due to constipation puts pressure on the blood vessels.
Other causes: Obesity, pregnancy, sitting for long periods of time, and a diet high in spicy and acidic foods.
3. Anal Fistula – Causes
This is a condition in which the glands near the anus become infected and pus builds up, which opens out like a tunnel under the skin.
Main cause: Abscesses near the anus can burst and the pus can become a fistula.
Other causes: Digestive diseases such as Crohn’s disease, infections caused by chronic constipation.
Remedies:
Sitz Bath: Take a large bowl of warm water and sit in it for 15 minutes. This will help reduce pain and increase blood flow.
Reduce the heat: Avoid foods with a lot of chili and fast food.
Eat on time: Eat meals on time to facilitate digestion.
Exercise: Walking for 30 minutes daily will increase bowel movement.
