It all comes down to the right diet

There is a well-known saying: "It always burns twice." Not only spicy food, but also an unhealthy diet can cause burning, as it can lead to constipation, which in turn can promote haemorrhoidal symptoms. A balanced diet is therefore crucial for prevention and relief. Eating fibre-rich foods and drinking enough water promote regular digestion and soft stools. Even small changes in your diet can have a positive effect on digestion.

Three videos, one taboo topic – and one clear goal: to raise awareness where silence has prevailed until now. Neither women nor men like to talk about it, yet the symptoms are widespread: around 70% of Swiss people are affected by haemorrhoidal problems at some point in their lives. To raise awareness of this often taboo subject, Doetsch Grether AG has launched an educational campaign. In collaboration with the health podcast Villa Margarita, three informative videos have been produced – using humour, charm and educational facts to destigmatise haemorrhoids and their risk factors.
