Hemorrhoids, which are caused by blood concentration in veins around the anus, are more likely to occur when blood vessels contract due to low temperatures in winter.

Looking at the monthly trend of patients with hemorrhoids among the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's statistics on diseases of public interest, it was found that the number of patients increased sharply from November when the temperature went down. In 2022, the number of cases rose to 76,797 in November and 79,972 in December, while the number of cases also increased to 71,969 in November, 75,426 in December and 82,761 in January 2024.

Hemorrhoids are chronic diseases and lifestyle diseases that are the main cause of posture or lifestyle that expand anal blood vessels in addition to environmental factors such as temperature. Constipation, heavy drinking, overwork, stress, obesity, pregnancy and childbirth, exercise that can increase abdominal pressure, or sitting for a long time can be the main cause of hemorrhoids.




In addition, it is important to have proper bowel habits as well as improve eating habits, such as reducing greasy food and alcohol. To prevent hemorrhoids, we need to reduce 'pressure and tension' applied to anus or rectal venous vessels. The longer the defecation time, the higher the pressure on the anus, which can lead to problems with blood circulation, so the time spent sitting in the bathroom should not be longer than 10 minutes.

In particular, proper exercise is good for physical health, but it is recommended to avoid exercises such as hiking, lifting heavy equipment, or having to sit in the same position for a long time, such as riding a bicycle.

Correcting lifestyle habits can prevent hemorrhoids or relieve mild symptoms. However, if lifestyle improvements are not sufficient, it can be managed with hemorrhoids taken. "Hemorrhoids tend to develop or worsen in winter," said an official at Dongguk Pharmaceutical Co"It is important to keep the anastomotic area warm, not to hide the disease or leave symptoms unattended, but to manage it quickly with hemorrhoids such as chisen."
