Anal flesh eversion during defecation

If the flesh of the anus protrudes outward during defecation, it is most likely caused by internal hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are a type of hemorrhoids and are also a symptom with a relatively high incidence rate. Hemorrhoids are generally caused by improper diet, irregular lifestyle and other reasons. Therefore, in the process of treating internal hemorrhoids, you need to pay attention to a reasonable diet, regular bowel movements, a combination of work and rest, and you can also do some anal lifting exercises.

1. Causes

Improper diet, excessive consumption of strong alcohol, rich food, spicy, cold and stimulating foods, or irregular hunger and satiety, or careless daily life, sitting or standing for long periods of time, carrying heavy loads for long distances, or excessive sexual intercourse, or long-term diarrhea and dysentery, long-term constipation, pregnancy and childbirth, compression from abdominal tumors, etc., can all cause internal rheumatism, dryness and heat, and imbalance of qi and blood, resulting in blockage of the meridians, and blood stasis and turbid qi flowing into the anus to form internal hemorrhoids. The characteristics of internal hemorrhoids are painless bleeding in the stool, and hemorrhoids may prolapse in the later stages. Patients with internal hemorrhoids may have frequent urge to defecate due to a distended feeling in the anus, or they may be afraid of bleeding and dare not defecate, which may lead to constipation due to poor bowel movement. Constipation can also be divided into deficiency and excess. Excess constipation is caused by internal accumulation of excess heat, which burns body fluids, causing dryness and constipation in the gastrointestinal tract, dry and difficult stools, and abdominal distension and pain. Deficiency constipation is caused by qi deficiency, failure of the lungs to descend, weak conduction of the large intestine, or blood deficiency and dryness of body fluids, causing dryness and constipation in the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal distension and constipation, palpitations and spontaneous sweating. The treatment is mainly based on clearing heat and moistening dryness, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and invigorating Qi and astringing.

2. Prevention

1. Combine meat and vegetables to reduce the occurrence of hemorrhoids or alleviate symptoms. Proper coarseness and fineness: In terms of diet, you should pay attention to not overeating both meat and vegetables, and balance coarse and fine grains appropriately, so that the stool will not be loose or dry.

2. Regular bowel movements, avoid holding back or straining: Develop a good habit of regular bowel movements, do not hold back the urge to defecate, do not strain, and reduce the symptoms of congestion in the anorectal area.

3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods: Avoid excessive consumption of raw onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, especially chili peppers.

4. Combine work and rest: In work and life, you should combine work and rest. Excessive fatigue, heavy lifting, or squatting for a long time, sitting for a long time, etc. can cause congestion or lack of activity in the anorectal veins, resulting in varicose veins. On the one hand, it can promote blood circulation.

5. Anal lifting exercise should be encouraged: Whether it is working with heavy weights, squatting for a long time, or sitting for a long time, it can eventually cause venous congestion and varicose veins in the rectum. Therefore, strengthening local exercise is very beneficial to reducing local venous congestion and varicose veins.

6. Patients undergoing hemorrhoid surgery should eliminate their mental concerns before the operation. Generally, patients eat a low-residue diet on the day of surgery and switch to a normal diet the next day. Some patients dare not eat too much for fear of pain caused by defecation, wound infection, etc. In order to keep the bowels open, patients can eat more fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, oranges, celery, spinach and other easily digestible and low-fat foods. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and spicy foods such as onions, ginger, and garlic

7. Try not to sit or stand for a long time to prevent blood from stagnating in the anus.

8. Pregnant women with hemorrhoids should avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, prevent constipation, and correct the fetal position in time. Eat more vegetables, fruits and vegetable oils, eat some sesame seeds and honey appropriately, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

3. How to care for patients with internal hemorrhoids?

Develop good eating habits, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and avoid spicy food, strong alcohol, and heavy flavors.

Keep a regular daily routine and combine work and rest. People who work in a standing position for long periods of time should change their body positions appropriately.

Pay attention to anal hygiene, develop good bowel habits, and keep bowel movements smooth at all times.

Treat diarrhea, constipation, dysentery and other diseases promptly.

After internal hemorrhoid surgery, the diet should be light, and semi-liquid or full-liquid diet should be given when necessary.

During the period of hemorrhoid shedding after surgery, try to reduce activities and rest in bed as much as possible.

After each bowel movement after surgery, take a sitz bath with light salt water or potassium permanganate solution, and then change the dressing.
