Just try to get rid of constipation

You are constipated often, just avoid getting constipated by following a fibrous diet, exercising regularly, giving up on alcohol and smoking. Drink a lot of water and stay hydrated. You can eat green vegetables, beans, squash, prunes and figs and opt for herbal teas. Avoid pasteurized dairy products, alcohol and fried foods.

You should try to overcome your haemorrhoids problem

If haemorrhoids are the cause of your rectal bleeding then just follow an anti-constipation diet by keeping spicy, packaged foods and alcohol at bay. Also, make sure that you don t sit in the toilet for too long or strain while pooping. Avoid cleansing yourself with harsh chemicals if you suffer from rectal bleeding. Make sure that you dry your bottom thoroughly and opt for a sitz bath (sit down in warm water daily which can help you to get rid of burning, itching and pain down there).

Eat foods that can soften your stools

You may experience rectal bleeding due to hard stools. It can also tear your anus which is one of the common causes of rectal bleeding. Eat chia seeds, figs, apples, pears and berries, kale, mustard greens and spinach and drink water, coconut water and prune juice.

Try to destroy your stress

To promote healing and decrease bodily inflammation, make sure that you stay stress-free. Exercise and lead a healthy life.
