Symptoms and treatment of internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are a very common disease nowadays. There is no pain when they appear, but there will be blood in the stool. As the disease worsens, it starts to feel itchy and painful. If the patient does not pay attention to cleanliness, the local area will be moist for a long time and a lot of bacteria will breed, which will eventually lead to anal itching and ulcers. Internal hemorrhoids will automatically retract and move back and forth, which will also cause great damage to the anus, so a treatment method needs to be found in normal times.

Symptoms and treatment of internal hemorrhoids

The main and only symptom of internal hemorrhoids in the early stage is painless bloody stool. The characteristic symptoms of internal hemorrhoids are intermittent bloody stool, which is bright red in color, or attached to the surface of the stool, or blood-stained toilet paper, or bleeding in the form of drops or spurts. If bloody stool occurs for a long time, it can cause anemia. If the internal hemorrhoids develop further, the hemorrhoids may prolapse during defecation. In mild cases, they will return to the anus on their own after defecation, while in severe cases, they need to be pushed back in by hand.

When internal hemorrhoids prolapse and are not reduced in time, incarceration edema, thrombosis, ulcers or infection may occur, causing severe pain. There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of external hemorrhoids, except for occasional discomfort and swelling in the anus. However, pain will occur when blood clots or edema occur. In addition, foreign body sensation in the anus, contaminated underwear, and local itching are also common symptoms of various hemorrhoids.

Another major symptom of internal hemorrhoids is prolapse. Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids: Internal hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus and are clamped by the sphincter, venous return is blocked, but arterial blood is still continuously input, causing the hemorrhoids to increase in size until the arteries are compressed and closed, thrombosis occurs, and the hemorrhoids become hard and painful, making it difficult to move them back into the anus. The traditional view is called "strangulated internal hemorrhoids". However, in clinical practice, external hemorrhoids are more likely to form blood clots, so they are often accompanied by pain. When hemorrhoids prolapse and cannot be sent back, they are also called "incarcerated hemorrhoids."

The occurrence of internal hemorrhoids is mainly due to congenital weakness of the venous wall, improper diet, excessive consumption of spicy, alcoholic and rich foods, internal generation of dryness and heat which presses down on the large intestine, as well as prolonged sitting or squatting, long-distance travel with heavy loads, constipation, straining, excessive childbirth in women, and abdominal masses, which lead to poor blood circulation, blood stasis, the conflict of heat and blood, the crisscrossing of qi and blood, the entanglement of tendons and veins, and the stagnation of blood.

In fact, there are many ways to treat internal hemorrhoids and bloody stools. Among these treatment methods, which ones are more effective and what are the costs? These are the issues that every patient with internal hemorrhoids and bloody stools is concerned about. If we analyze internal hemorrhoids and blood in the stool, we will find that internal hemorrhoids are a relatively mild type of hemorrhoids, but the presence of blood in the stool will cause certain troubles in the treatment. So, what are the treatments for internal hemorrhoids?

1. Increased resting pressure of the anal canal: Due to various reasons, the resting pressure of the anal canal increases. The increased pressure tension in the internal and external sphincters and the internal pressure of the vascular space can cause an increase in resting tension, which prevents the good return of blood, causes hypertrophy and swelling of the perianal veins, and causes internal hemorrhoids.
