External hemorrhoids can often be treated without surgery through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and topical remedies. A fiber-rich diet, plenty of water, and avoiding constipation can help prevent strain during bowel movements, which is crucial for healing hemorrhoids. Warm sitz baths and cold compresses can provide relief, while over-the-counter creams can reduce swelling and itching. Regarding dairy, **yogurt** and **buttermilk** are generally beneficial for hemorrhoids, as they have cooling properties and aid digestion. **Milk** in moderation can also be soothing, though excessive dairy might cause bloating in some people. Ayurveda views yogurt and buttermilk as helpful due to their ability to balance **Pitta** and **Vata** doshas, reducing inflammation and promoting digestion. However, if you are sensitive to dairy, it’s important to monitor how it affects your symptoms. For persistent or severe hemorrhoids, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further treatment options.

Yes, external hemorrhoids can be managed without surgery in many cases, unless they're really severe. Diet plays a big role here! When it comes to dairy, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. In Ayurveda, fresh buttermilk is generally considered beneficial for digestive issues, including hemorrhoids, as it's easier to digest and can help balance Vata dosha, which often goes out of whack in hemorrhoids. But, consuming yogurt and milk should be in moderation. Having them can sometimes clog digestion. You know, cause sluggishness and might aggravate your condition if digestion isn’t great. Pitta and Vata are the doshas often acting up with hemorrhoids. So maintaining a good digestive fire is key. You might want to start your day with lukewarm water, add a pinch of lemon maybe. Also, Triphala powder taken with lukewarm water or honey can be a game-changer for keeping that digestive fire strong and supporting bowel movements. If you’re into spices, cumin and coriander seeds are fabulous... especially if you feel that burning sensation. You can make a tea from these seeds. Steep them in hot water, sip it warm. Hydration is crucial too! Drink ample amounts of water, but don't overdo it. Soups and light broths during meals could be soothing. Avoid very spicy, salty, or heavy to digest foods. Processed foods, too, can be a disaster for hemorrhoids. Fresh fruits and veggies, with lots of fiber, can be your best allies. Radishes, figs, and ripe papaya are particularly revered to keep things moving smoothly. Remember, heavy lifting and long hours of sitting might make things worse, so try gentle exercises like walking or yoga, just to keep the blood circulation steady. However, if the pain's unbearable or bleeding persists, better get a consult from a healthcare provider. Best to play it safe, right? Ayurveda can be a great support, but not a substitute when things are severe. So listen to your body carefully!
