How it works

Adequate hydration prevents hard, dry stools by maintaining water content in the large intestine, reducing straining and anal pressure.

Coffee, tea and alcohol have diuretic effects that can counteract hydration goals. Focus on plain water.

Why moderate evidence

No direct RCTs for haemorrhoids specifically, but strong mechanistic evidence and consistent clinical recommendation across guidelines.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
