I am a 37 year old male, vegetarian, exercise a few times a week, I drink a few cups of coffee everyday and water regularly as well. I often get hard feces and have some minor anal hemorrhage and itches down there. How can this be, if I eat lots of fiber and drink the water I need?

Yes, eating lot of fiber in diet & lot of fluids is good. But that alone is not enough to cure anal problems. Your problems appear to be related to piles or fissure. Would need physical examination. However, anal problems improve with general measures but may require surgery. The general measures I would suggest are 1. Take lot of vegetables & fruits in your diet 2. Avoid chillies & spices 3. Take lot of fluids 4. Avoid constipation 5 periodically do anal exercises (alternately contracting & relaxing the buttocks, anal area & upper thighs) 6. Take sitz bath 3-4 times a day. This means sitting in a tub of warm water & doing anal exercises 7. Atleast once get it examined by a general surgeon.

Respected lybrate-user hi good to take more liq & fiber. Other causes of constipation are also there dear. Avoid oily spicy nonveg. Have more green leafy veg fruits curd. Avoid smoking if doing. Sitz bath (sitting in leuk warm water for 10-10 min mor & eve) is more effective. Consult surgeon if problem after this thanks regards.
