痔疮患者应忌食辛辣食物吗?这里有一项研究:

 

一项双盲试验发现:食用红辣椒和安慰剂48小时后,两组的痔疮症状和疼痛感并没什么区别.

食用辛辣食物不会对痔疮患者引起额外的不适.没有理由阻止痔疮患者偶尔吃吃他们喜爱的辣椒食物.

Abstract

Purpose  

Spicy foods are appreciated by a large part of the world population but have been blamed for causing hemorrhoids or exacerbating their symptoms, although no epidemiologic studies have been performed supporting this hypothesis. In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, we have studied the effects of a single dose of red hot chili pepper on the hemorrhoidal symptoms.

Methods  

Fifty patients with second-degree and third-degree symptomatic hemorrhoids were randomly assigned to take a capsule containing red hot chili powder or placebo during lunch, scoring five hemorrhoidal symptoms (bleeding, swelling, pain, itching, and burning) on a visual analog scale. After one week, crossover treatment was administered according to the same methodology. Other treatments and foods potentially related with anorectal symptoms were discontinued during the study periods.

Results  

Patients assigned low scores to their hemorrhoidal symptoms before the study and the scores remained unchanged during the 48 hours after both placebo and chili pepper treatment, the latter showing no statistically significant effects.

Conclusions  

There is no scientific evidence that a spicy meal based on red hot chili pepper may worsen hemorrhoidal symptoms and, therefore, there is no reason to prevent these patients from occasionally enjoying a spicy dish if they so wish.

Prevention

The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily. The following practices can help:

• Eat a high fiber diet.
• Exercise regularly , especially walking.
• Empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs.
• Avoid the overuse of laxatives.
