If you’ve received treatment for hemorrhoids, you know the relief that comes when the pain, itching, and swelling finally go away. But for many people, the question becomes: “How do I keep them from coming back?”
At Spectrum Hemorrhoid Solutions, we help patients not only find non-surgical relief from hemorrhoids but also make simple lifestyle adjustments that can prevent recurrence and support long-term digestive and vascular health.
Even after successful treatment, hemorrhoids can return if the underlying causes aren’t addressed. The most common factors that lead to recurring hemorrhoids include:
Constipation or straining during bowel movements
Prolonged sitting or lack of activity
Poor dietary habits low in fiber and fluids
Excess body weight or abdominal pressure
These factors all place unnecessary strain on the veins in the rectal area, causing them to stretch and swell again.
The good news is that a few small changes can significantly reduce the likelihood of hemorrhoid flare-ups returning. Here are the most effective strategies we recommend:
Extra weight, especially around the abdomen, increases pressure on pelvic veins. Our Weight Management Program helps patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight—supporting both digestive health and hemorrhoid prevention.
Fiber keeps your digestive system moving smoothly and reduces the need for straining.
Aim for:
Fresh fruits and vegetables
Whole grains
Beans and legumes
Fiber supplements if needed
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration softens stool, making bowel movements easier and less irritating to hemorrhoidal veins.
Regular physical activity improves blood circulation and helps prevent constipation. Even a daily 20-minute walk can make a noticeable difference.
Don’t delay the urge to go.
Avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods.
Practice proper posture and don’t strain.
If you’ve been treated for hemorrhoids but still experience occasional flare-ups, we can help.
