What to do if a pregnant woman has a mole sore that bleeds

When it comes to pregnancy, female friends feel both happy and sad. This is mainly because there is a little life growing in their body, but they have to endure many things that ordinary people cannot endure. Many women may have some health problems or suffer from some diseases during pregnancy, but they cannot use medication to treat them at this time, which brings a lot of pain to pregnant women. What should pregnant women do if they have hemorrhoid bleeding?

1. What to do if pregnant women have hemorrhoid bleeding

Pregnant women are a high-risk group for hemorrhoids. If the hemorrhoids are severe, it is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. An important reason for pregnant women to suffer from hemorrhoids is that in the late pregnancy, due to the increase in intra-abdominal pressure due to the enlargement of the fetus, the anal venous return is blocked, causing congestion in the upper and lower rectal veins, thus forming internal or external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that grow at the beginning of the anal canal. If the swollen veins are located further down, almost at the anal opening, these varicose veins are called external hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids may sometimes prolapse or appear outside the anal canal. But this only happens during bowel movements, after which it will retract back to its original position. Blood clots can occur in both internal and external hemorrhoids. When a thrombosis occurs, the blood in the hemorrhoids clots into a mass, causing pain. Patients with hemorrhoids should consume more high-fiber foods and avoid alcohol and irritating foods, such as alcohol, chili peppers, and foods that are difficult to chew. To prevent constipation, eat more fruits, vegetables, honey, and milk, maintain regular bowel habits, take laxatives when necessary, and make sure to go to the toilet quickly. Avoid standing or squatting for long periods of time, and do more anal contraction and relaxation exercises. Avoid wiping the anus hard after defecation, and clean the anus with warm water. You should take more warm water sitz baths to promote blood circulation and relieve the lesions.

2. The harm of hemorrhoid bleeding in pregnant women

Pregnant women are a special group, and the slightest carelessness may result in casualties of both mother and baby. So, for pregnant women, hemorrhoids are very common, and what harm does bleeding do to them? Now, let us explain it in detail one by one.

In order to ensure the growth of the fetus, pregnant women need more adequate nutrition than ordinary people. Hemorrhoids often bleed repeatedly, which over time can lead to anemia, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, poor spirits and other symptoms. This not only affects the health of the pregnant woman herself, but also affects the normal development of the fetus, easily causing developmental delay, low weight, and even premature birth or death. Internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids may prolapse outside the anus when they develop to a certain extent. As the hemorrhoids continue to grow and prolapse, when the abdominal pressure increases slightly such as when pregnant women are walking or coughing, the hemorrhoids may prolapse and they will be unable to participate in activities, which increases the mental and physical burden on women in the late stages of pregnancy.

In addition, due to the gradual increase in abdominal pressure, especially in the late pregnancy, many pregnant women experience edema of both lower limbs, dilation of the upper and lower anal veins, and increased congestion. Finally, during natural delivery, they hold their breath, causing a sharp rise in abdominal pressure, leading to edema, eversion, prolapse or incarceration of hemorrhoids, which are difficult to reduce, causing great pain to the mother and even affecting her physical and mental health throughout the postpartum period and maternity leave. The chances and risks of hemorrhoids in pregnant women are much greater than those in the general population, which is very harmful to both the pregnant women themselves and the fetus in their womb.
