Can i drink alcohol with hemorhoids?

Maybe: Home treatments of avoiding hemorrhoid issues is high fiber diet, drinking plenty of non-alcoholic beverages, not sitting & straining at the toilet. Alcohol can cause dehydration & could aggravate constipation & hemorrhoid problems. Alcohol in moderation alright if using common sense & healthy high fiber diet.

Yes: You have hemorrhoids. You want to consume alcohol. There is no contraindication. Try to minimize your hemorrhoids by not sitting on toilet for prolonged periods. Remember to drink in moderation. Alcohol can cause dehydration which can make your stool hard and exacerbate a hemorrhoid so stay hydrated.
