What happens if hemorrhoids are not treated?

I believe that many people have hemorrhoids. As we all know, nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids. Generally, our hemorrhoids are mild, and there will be pain and bleeding in the stool. Many people don’t pay attention to it. If you pay more attention to your diet, it will get better on its own. However, some hemorrhoid patients do not receive treatment and their conditions become very serious. We must understand what will happen if hemorrhoids are not treated.

Patients with hemorrhoids should be examined and treated in the early stages, but many people do not take this disease seriously, thinking that hemorrhoids do not require treatment and will heal on their own. However, it is this kind of thinking that makes the disease worse, and they end up having to undergo surgery and suffer a lot. As for what will happen if hemorrhoids are not treated, the following introduction should be helpful to everyone.

1. Skin eczema: Because the prolapse of hemorrhoids causes the sphincter to relax, mucus flows out of the anus and irritates the surrounding skin, which can easily cause itching and skin eczema.

2. Anemia: Hemorrhoids, with bleeding as the main symptom, can easily cause anemia in patients. As the amount of blood loss increases, patients will become pale, weak, dizzy, weak, have memory loss, and even have blurred vision and tinnitus. Standing up suddenly after sitting or squatting for a long time may lead to collapse or fainting. In severe cases, the appetite decreases, and the lower abdomen becomes swollen and bloated.

3. It can induce rectal malignancy: If hemorrhoids are not treated in time, the condition will continue to worsen, causing changes in the cell genes in the diseased area and leading to rectal malignancy.

4. Cause gynecological diseases: Because the anus and reproductive tract are close, hemorrhoid bleeding or inflammation often leads to the proliferation of bacteria, which directly enter the reproductive tract and cause gynecological inflammation.

5. Causing sepsis, toxemia, and septicemia: Once anal abscess and anal infection develop into hemorrhoids and anal fissure bleeding symptoms, bacteria, toxins, and pus plugs can easily invade the blood and cause sepsis, toxemia, and septicemia.

6. Anal dysfunction: due to repeated attacks of anal infection, anal nodules, anal sinusitis, anal fissures, anal fistulas, anal abscesses, etc., if left untreated for a long time, it will cause anal contracture and difficulty in defecation; on the other hand, it will invade the sphincter and easily lead to anal incontinence.

Through the above introduction, everyone should understand what will happen if hemorrhoids are not treated. We must be able to recognize the harm of hemorrhoids in time. Many patients with hemorrhoids do not receive timely treatment, which will lead to a lot of pain later. People with hemorrhoids must pay attention to their daily diet, and spicy and irritating foods must be avoided. They should exercise more and maintain a good mood.
