Hemorrhoids are a common disease, but people have a lot of misunderstandings about hemorrhoids, resulting in improper treatment or misuse of the condition, bringing a lot of adverse effects to people’s health. Here on the following several misunderstandings to be clarified. Will hemorrhoids be contagious? Infectious diseases, that is, contagious diseases, is caused by pathogens, can be in the human to human, animal to animal or human to animal mutual transmission of disease. One of the characteristics of infectious diseases is that they are pathogenic and contagious: each infectious disease has its specific pathogen, including microorganisms and parasites. The pathogens of infectious diseases can be transmitted from one person to another by certain means. Hemorrhoids are not caused by bacterial or viral infections and are not directly related to viral and bacterial infections in any way. Infection sometimes occurs following ulceration of the hemorrhoidal mucosa, but it is not directly related to the cause of the hemorrhoids themselves. Hemorrhoids themselves do not produce pathogens. Therefore, hemorrhoid patients themselves are not contagious. There is a folk saying: if you sit on the stool that hemorrhoid patients have sat on, you will get hemorrhoids, giving many people the feeling that hemorrhoids will be contagious, but in fact, often sit on the hot seat may increase the chance of hemorrhoids, but has nothing to do with the contagion. Is blood in the stool all hemorrhoids? Some patients think they have hemorrhoids when they have blood in their stools. It is true that in most patients, blood in the stool is caused by a ruptured internal hemorrhoid. However, the diseases that can cause blood in stool are far more than hemorrhoids, and many diseases can cause blood in stool, including anal fissure, rectal or colonic polyps, proctitis, ulcerative colitis, colonic diverticulum, rectal or colonic cancer, dysentery, etc. In particular, in recent years, colorectal cancer has become more common. Especially in recent years, the incidence rate of colorectal cancer has been increasing, and the initial misdiagnosis rate is very high. Many patients will have the symptom of blood in stool at the early stage of the disease, and often mistake it as hemorrhoids and pay no attention to it, which leads to the discovery of the tumor when it has already reached the advanced stage. There is a difference between blood in stool of rectal cancer and hemorrhoids. The former is mostly dark red in color, often accompanied by mucus, incomplete defecation or a feeling of urgency, while the latter is bright red in color without any discomfort in the anal area. In short, after the appearance of blood in the stool, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, in order to clarify the diagnosis and timely treatment. Will bleeding hemorrhoids be painful? Many people think that bleeding hemorrhoids will be painful, in fact, hemorrhoidal bleeding is mostly caused by various reasons leading to internal hemorrhoids rupture caused by external hemorrhoids unless due to inflammation rupture will bleed, and internal hemorrhoids are located in the mucosa of the rectum is innervated by the vegetative nerves, sensory retardation, so most of the hemorrhoidal bleeding will not be painful. The main cause of internal hemorrhoids in the second degree and above is hemorrhoids, which is the main cause of internal hemorrhoids. The main symptom of second-degree or higher internal hemorrhoids is that the hemorrhoidal nucleus prolapses out of the anus during defecation, and in some cases even when walking. However, not all diseases in which a mass can prolapse outside the anus are hemorrhoids. In the anal and intestinal diseases, many diseases can appear in the anus with prolapse, such as anal papillae hypertrophy, rectal prolapse, rectal polyp with tip, etc., can be prolapsed outside the anus, but its clinical manifestations are not the same. Internal hemorrhoidal prolapse is different from other diseases in the performance of: internal hemorrhoidal prolapse of the prolapse of the prolapse of the material indicates that there is a mucous membrane cover, the prolapse of the material base is large, and more than not connected into a piece of granular, easy to bleed. And hypertrophy of the anal papilla surface is covered with epithelial tissue, the base of the prolapse is more thin and long, gray color, not easy to bleed; rectal prolapse is manifested as a ring of rectal mucosa prolapse and not granular. Rectal polyp prolapse most of the swelling with a long tip, mobility. As you can see, prolapse is one of the manifestations of aggravation of internal hemorrhoids, but prolapse is not all hemorrhoids. Inflamed hemorrhoids should use anti-inflammatory drugs? Many patients with inflamed hemorrhoids will ask their doctors to use antibiotics during treatment, thinking that antibiotics can play a role in reducing inflammation and relieving pain. In fact, hemorrhoid inflammation is mostly due to a variety of reasons caused by hemorrhoidal hemorrhoidal hemorrhoidal blood circulation or lymphatic reflux obstacles caused by local tissue edema caused by an aseptic inflammation, conservative treatment is generally the use of heat detoxification ointment external application, clearing the heat of the Chinese medicine sitz bath, if the hemorrhoidal hemorrhoidal rupture triggered bacterial infections, the use of antibiotics is absolutely abusive. Hemorrhoids is a minor disease does not need active treatment? It is often said that “ten people nine hemorrhoids”, indicating that hemorrhoids patients, high incidence, many patients due to the disease in the unspeakable, afraid of trouble, embarrassed to seek medical examination and ask for medication, in addition to repeated episodes of prolonged treatment, a loss of confidence in the treatment, and some patients do not take hemorrhoids seriously, that the treatment does not cure does not matter. So that light disease becomes heavy, small disease becomes big, induced or aggravated other diseases. Modern medical research shows that hemorrhoids will produce a lot of harm if not actively treated. First of all, long-term bleeding will lead to anemia, dizziness, decreased libido, weakness; because many hemorrhoids patients often combined with constipation, stool dryness, easy to lead to blood in the stool, so many patients are afraid of stools, often endure inconvenience, so that the stool is more dry, for a long time, the formation of a vicious circle; blood in the stools for a long time, constipation, anorexia, resulting in the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, as well as the whole organism balance disorder and malnutrition, easily lead to liver, kidney disease, anus, and other diseases. This can lead to liver and kidney diseases, anal fissure, chronic colitis, intestinal cancer and so on. As you can see, hemorrhoids have many harmful effects and should be treated early in order to improve the quality of life. Can hemorrhoids be cured? Does it need to be cured? In the clinic, we often come across patients asking: can hemorrhoids be cured? In fact, it is not. First of all, hemorrhoids occur in the anal canal and rectal mucosa, which should be preserved regardless of surgery or other treatments. As long as the above tissue structure exists, the lesion has the possibility of hemorrhoids, so hemorrhoids can not be cured. In addition at present the pathogenesis of internal hemorrhoids has a new point of view, in the past academics believe that internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids on the venous plexus enlargement and tortuous caused, now domestic and foreign unanimously agreed that internal hemorrhoids is due to anal cushion lesion caused by lesions. When the anal cushion is congested or because of the supporting tissue relaxation will cause internal hemorrhoid bleeding and prolapse. The anal cushion has the function of maintaining the sphincter of the anus, fine control of stool, too much excision of internal hemorrhoids is bound to destroy the normal physiological function of the anal cushion, so the current surgical treatment is based on the restoration of the anal cushion of the normal anatomical position and function, rather than excision of the anal cushion, so internal hemorrhoids do not need to be excised radically, but only for the symptom, to lift the symptom. After clinical cure, as long as you maintain good dietary habits and smooth bowel movements, the recurrence of hemorrhoids will also be reduced.
