Digestive health plays a crucial role in the prevention and recovery of anorectal conditions such as Piles (Hemorrhoids), Anal Fissure, and Fistula.

Even the most advanced treatment can fail if diet and bowel habits are not corrected.

At Sayra Hospital & Piles Centre, Lucknow, our specialists strongly emphasize a proper diet plan to ensure painless bowel movements, faster healing, and long-term prevention of recurrence.


Why Diet Is So Important in Piles, Fissure & Fistula

Most anorectal problems begin with chronic constipation, hard stool, or excessive straining.
An unhealthy diet can:

  • Delay healing after treatment
  • Increase pain and bleeding
  • Cause recurrence even after surgery

A well-planned diet helps to:
✔ Soften stools naturally
✔ Reduce pressure on anal veins
✔ Improve digestion
✔ Speed up recovery after laser or Ayurvedic treatment


Key Principles of a Healing Diet

A good diet for piles, fissure, and fistula patients should be:

  • High in fiber
  • Rich in fluids
  • Easy to digest
  • Low in spice and processed foods


Best Foods to Eat

1. High-Fiber Foods (Most Important)

Fiber adds bulk and softness to stool, reducing strain.

Recommended options:

  • Fruits: Papaya, apple, pear, banana, orange
  • Vegetables: Spinach, bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrot, beans
  • Whole grains: Oats, brown rice, dalia, whole wheat roti
  • Pulses: Moong dal, masoor dal


2. Hydrating Foods & Fluids

Dehydration is a major cause of hard stools.

Drink daily:

  • 8–10 glasses of water
  • Coconut water
  • Buttermilk (chaas)
  • Lemon water (without excess salt)


3. Probiotic Foods (Gut-Friendly)

Probiotics improve gut bacteria and bowel regularity.

Include:

  • Fresh curd or yogurt
  • Homemade buttermilk
  • Fermented foods in moderation


4. Healthy Fats (In Small Quantity)

Healthy fats lubricate the intestines.

Good options:

  • Desi ghee (½–1 tsp daily)
  • Olive oil
  • Flaxseed (ground)


Foods to Strictly Avoid

❌ Spicy foods and red chilli
❌ Fried and oily items
❌ Junk and packaged foods
❌ Excess tea, coffee, and alcohol
❌ White bread, refined flour (maida)
❌ Red meat and heavy non-veg (during recovery)

These foods irritate the anal region and worsen pain and bleeding.
