Hello Dear

Warm welcome to HealthcareMagiC

I have evaluated your query in details.

* Lisinopril is not the culprit for hemorrhoids as there can be diarrhea as
side effect but not constipation .
* Here are some best working tips for your painful hemorrhoids
Drink plenty of liquids .Prefer soft , light diet with more of green leafy veg , whole grains , cereals , pulses , legumes , organic fresh fruits .

Avoid all types of oily , spicy , non veg , hot beverages , junk foods , dairy fat .

Manage to have smooth bowel passage with the help of bulk forming laxatives as Ispaghula husk with lukewarm drinking water .
Tab. Ibuprofen ( 400 mg ) after meals for control of pain , burning if no history of drug sensitivity . Xylocaine ( 5 % ) jelly application over the anal part gives soothing action . Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 5 minutes each 3 times a day and additionally after passing stools ) helps . Avoid long drives , sitting prolong on hard surfaces . Control of blood sugar , cholesterol , body weight .
Avoid smoking , alcohol if consuming .

Wishing you fine recovery .
