Hemorrhoids is a common disease located in the anus, which can occur at any age. With the growth of age, the incidence rate gradually increases. Many patients suffer from various harms of hemorrhoids due to delayed treatment and incorrect treatment methods. So, what are the hazards of hemorrhoids? How to diagnose hemorrhoids? Let's take a look together.
How harmful are hemorrhoids
1. Hemorrhoids grow at the anal opening, and the stool cannot be wiped clean. The stool contains a large amount of bacteria, and the anus, urethra, and vagina are close to each other. Hemorrhoids bleeding or inflammation often lead to the proliferation of bacteria, causing gynecological inflammation. Many female patients have acute attacks of hemorrhoids after giving birth, which poses great difficulties in treatment. Early treatment is less painful and allows for better recovery.
2. Hemorrhoids may cause symptoms such as sepsis, toxemia, and sepsis. Once anal abscess and infection form, bleeding symptoms can occur, and bacteria, toxins, and pus clots can easily invade the bloodstream, causing sepsis, toxemia, and sepsis.
3. Easy to cause autonomic nervous system disorders. It can cause pain in the waist, epiphyses, and posterior thigh, as well as reflex dysfunction of the urogenital system.
4. Hemorrhoid prolapse can cause mucus and feces to flow out of the anus, which can irritate the surrounding skin for a long time and easily lead to anal itching and skin eczema. Hemorrhoids often enter and exit the anus, causing friction and damage to the skin and mucous membranes on the surface. Once damaged, they often lead to infections.
How to diagnose hemorrhoids
The patient often experiences painless and intermittent rectal bleeding, which is caused by the abrasion of the anal mucosa by feces or excessive defecation force, leading to the rupture of dilated blood vessels and bleeding. Patients with advanced internal hemorrhoids may also experience hemorrhoid prolapse. Due to the increased volume of hemorrhoids in the late stage of the patient, they gradually separate from the muscle layer and are pushed out of the anus during defecation. Mild patients only experience prolapse during bowel movements and can recover on their own after defecation. Severe patients need to push it back by hand, and more severe cases can easily protrude from the anus with a slight increase in abdominal pressure. As long as the abdominal pressure slightly increases, the hemorrhoids can protrude, making recovery very difficult and preventing patients from participating in labor. Many patients complain that prolapse is the first symptom. In addition, the patient also has symptoms of pain and itching.
