If you have bleeding from hemorrhoids when having a bowel movement, here are some steps you can take. Firstly, increase your intake of fiber through foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to soften the stools and make bowel movements easier. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Avoid sitting for long periods and try to be physically active. Practice good hygiene by gently cleaning the anal area with mild soap and warm water after a bowel movement. You can also use over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories to relieve pain and inflammation. If the bleeding persists or is severe, it is important to consult a doctor. The doctor may recommend further treatment options such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or in severe cases, surgery.
