Be sure to pay attention! The more you tolerate hemorrhoids, the greater the harm!

Everyone knows that hemorrhoid surgery will cause great pain to patients. Many patients who consult take a negative attitude towards treatment due to fear of pain, which leads to worsening of the condition. So what are the dangers of leaving hemorrhoids untreated for a long time?

1: If hemorrhoids are not treated for a long time, the harm is great. The main reasons are as follows:

1. Due to the proximity of the anus and vagina, hemorrhoid bleeding or inflammation often leads to massive bacterial growth, infection and irritation of the vagina, and can cause various gynecological diseases.

2. If hemorrhoids are not treated in time, the condition will continue to worsen, causing changes in the cell genes in the affected area, which may induce rectal malignancy and threaten life in severe cases.

3. Hemorrhoids lead to anal infection, anal nodules, recurrent anal sinusitis, anal fissures, anal fistulas, anal abscesses, etc. If left untreated for a long time, they will lead to anal contracture, invade the sphincter, and easily cause anal incontinence.

4. The bleeding symptoms of hemorrhoids cause bacteria, toxins, and pus clots to invade the blood, which can easily lead to sepsis, toxemia, and hypersepticemia.

5. Long-term hemorrhoidal bloody stools will directly lead to iron deficiency anemia as the patient's blood loss increases. Patients will experience adverse symptoms such as pale complexion, fatigue, dizziness, weakness, and memory loss.

6. As hemorrhoids prolapse and the sphincter relaxes, mucus flows out of the anus and irritates the surrounding skin, causing anal eczema and anal itching.

2. What complications can hemorrhoids cause?

When a person gets hemorrhoids, he will often experience pain in the anus, making it difficult for the patient to sleep or eat. Some people still don’t know that if hemorrhoids are not treated, they will cause many complications. So what diseases can hemorrhoids cause?

Blood in stool:

The most common early symptoms of internal hemorrhoids are usually internal anal bleeding after defecation. The blood is bright red and does not mix with the stool or is present on the stool. It may then drip or even spray out. The bleeding may stop on its own after defecation. Internal hemorrhoid bleeding is generally intermittent, and dry stools, fatigue, drinking, and eating spicy foods are often the causes of bleeding.

pain:

Internal hemorrhoids are generally painless, but when they become incarcerated, causing edema, thrombosis, erosion and necrosis, severe pain will occur.

There is a foreign body sensation at the anus when it is prolapsed or bulging, and it is not easy to wipe clean after defecation. There is a swelling protrusion at the anal margin, which is covered by skin and is a sign of external hemorrhoids. Prolapse is a symptom of internal hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are large in size and are squeezed by feces during defecation, causing them to separate from the muscle layer and protrude out of the anus. Prolapsed hemorrhoids are susceptible to infection and cause severe pain due to inflammation and edema.

Mucus leakage:

The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing inflammatory exudation, which increases secretions. The secretions flow out at any time when the anal sphincter relaxes, causing frequent irritation of the anal skin and causing eczema and itching.

constipate:

Patients artificially control their bowel movements due to bleeding, which causes habitual constipation. Since constipation can easily break the hemorrhoidal mucosa and cause bleeding, a vicious cycle is formed.
