My wife has external hemorrhoids and wants to manage them through diet to avoid surgery for now. Can you suggest foods that help control and reduce the problem? Also, what foods should she avoid?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your doctor may recommend that you eat more foods that are high in fiber. Eating foods that are high in fiber can make stools softer and easier to pass and can help treat and prevent hemorrhoids. Drinking water and other liquids, such as fruit juices and clear soups, can help the fiber in your diet work better.

Can a chronic anal fissure heal on its own or with medication or is surgery always necessary What foods should I avoid to help it heal faster
While many anal fissures heal on their own with conservative treatment, chronic fissures may require medication or even surgery. Avoiding spicy foods, nuts, and processed foods can help reduce inflammation and aid in healing.
