mga sis i have a question...
actually this is my case of my boyfriend na super nagbi-bleed ang anus niya, as in para siyang pini-period... hindi ko alam kung hemorrhoid siyang matatawag, pero dahil may nakukuwento siya na may parang laman na lumalabas from his anus everytime na dumudumi siya, might as well na parang ganoon siya... ngayon si mother ko na fanatic ng herbal/vegan/naturopathy thing, nag-suggest na aside from eating fruits and veggies, lumunok daw ng ilang pieces of SILING LABUYO, yung super liit na kulay pula talaga... eh i heard na bawal sa mga may hemorrhoids ang sili... actually ako rin pinapainom niya ng sili dahil pampapayat daw (chubby kasi ako and may bilbil na mas malaki pa sa hips ko, hehe)... i do it naman, kaso hindi continuous... pero talagang natakot na ako noong minsang dumumi ako, pag-wipe ko ng tissue, may streaks of blood... it seems to me like naniniwala ang mother ko na chili is the pill for all sicknesses, pero kasi baka mas makasama pa siya kaysa makabuti... help naman mga sis! thanks so much!
This might help po..

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.
