Adopt five daily habits to prevent constipation from causing haemorrhoids and anal fissures

Recurring constipation can cause haemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse, warns an oncologist, urging daily habits to prevent complications. Dr Pavan Sugoor recommends fibre-rich foods, 8-12 glasses of water daily, exercise, stress management, proper sleep, better toilet posture, and responding to bowel cues. Constipation often results from low fibre, dehydration, sedentary lifestyle, chronic stress, poor sleep, and ignoring urges. Straining weakens pelvic muscles and tears anal lining, leading to serious conditions over time.
