Hemorrhoids getting worse after increased fiber intake??
Hi everyone, so I was diagnosed with grade 2 hem recently. My doctor gave me some meds but said that I mostly need to increase my fiber and water intake. So I’ve been going HAM on fruits and vegetables—a whole papaya and 2-3 bananas a day, and my meals are literally just broccoli and boiled greens. But for some reason, my poops have gotten much worse??? I’ve been drinking more water, taking my meds, sitting less, adjusting my diet and pretty much anything in my power to try and make my poops easier to pass. But it barely passes anymore, much worse than before I came to the doctor.
Has anyone had this issue before? Please give some tips on how you pass your stools easier! It’s not bleeding right now but I sure as hell don’t want it to.
