Fiber Blend typically refers to a combination of soluble and insoluble fibers, sometimes including psyllium, oat bran, flaxseed, or other bulk-forming agents. The scientific rationale for using fiber blends in the context of hemorrhoids is well-established. Hemorrhoids are often caused or exacerbated by constipation and straining during defecation. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that increasing dietary fiber intake softens the stool, increases its bulk, and reduces straining, which can alleviate symptoms and reduce the recurrence of hemorrhoids. A 2015 Cochrane review concluded that fiber supplementation leads to a significant reduction in the risk of persistent symptoms and bleeding in people with symptomatic hemorrhoids. Most guidelines, including those from the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, recommend fiber supplementation as a first-line conservative treatment for hemorrhoids. The mechanism is straightforward: by promoting regular, soft bowel movements, fiber reduces pressure on the rectal veins, thereby minimizing the development or worsening of hemorrhoids. While fiber does not cure hemorrhoids directly, it is a scientifically validated and commonly recommended supportive measure for both prevention and symptom management.
