Congestion in hemorrhoids promotes the formation of thrombi. Once the site was clotting, chronic process becomes acute. This disturbed tissue nutrition, which may lead to necrosis (necrosis) of the node. All these processes are accompanied by severe pain, making it virtually impossible process of defecation. That is why so much importance in acute hemorrhoids is diet.

Treatment of acute hemorrhoids spend conservatively at first, reduce inflammation of tissues, try to adjust the chair. But if hemorrhoids are often aggravated, then performed surgery - removal of hemorrhoids. After surgery, the patient is also assigned a special diet.

Diet for conservative treatment of acute hemorrhoids
