Hemorrhoids are a common disease of the anus, and many mothers-to-be suffer from them. The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to pay attention to a light diet and keep your bowels open. But what can you do if you get hemorrhoids during pregnancy and they are super serious? Why are hemorrhoids easy to get during pregnancy? Women who have been mothers may know that it is very common to get hemorrhoids during pregnancy. Literally, hemorrhoids are “hemorrhoids”, but they are actually venous masses. The rectum does not have a venous valve, making it difficult for blood to flow back smoothly, and blood pooling will make the venous plexus blood vessels bulge and curl, which will further promote the formation of hemorrhoids if they are stimulated by the outside world during pregnancy. The main reasons are: 1, the uterus squeeze the huge uterus during pregnancy will squeeze the pelvic cavity, and the original pregnant women’s venous pressure is relatively high, the blood vessels also become relaxed, which leads to the lower body blood flow deceleration, more difficult to return to the heart, and the veins near the anus will be swollen and inflated by the pressure. 2, progesterone increase Progesterone in the body is also one of the reasons, which will make the elasticity of the veins decline sharply, very easy to induce venous dilatation. 3, constipation women during pregnancy gastrointestinal function is not good, easy to constipation, once the bowel movement is not smooth will make the effort, and then increase the pressure of the veins near the anus, further aggravate the hemorrhoids. 4, old disease If you have suffered from the condition before pregnancy, the likelihood of the old disease recurring during pregnancy will increase or even become more serious. What are the characteristics of hemorrhoids during pregnancy? 1.Anal itching The skin at the edge of the anus is slightly painful and itchy, swollen, and sometimes burning. 2. Soft foreign body In case of external hemorrhoids, the mother-to-be will feel a soft and fat swollen ball of flesh near the anus, and it will be accompanied by pain. Internal hemorrhoids, on the other hand, are inside the body, ranging in size from green beans to grapes, and cannot be touched and do not feel special. 3. Blood in the stool If you have a hard time defecating, you can find traces of blood in the toilet, on the toilet paper, or in the dirt. If you bleed repeatedly and do not take care of it in time, it can induce anemia and cause reactions such as looking bad, weakness, and lack of appetite. Will having hemorrhoids during pregnancy affect my baby? There is no direct danger to the mother-to-be or her baby if she has hemorrhoids. If you don’t take care of it, it can cause some harm later on: 1. anemia Frequent bleeding during pregnancy can lead to lack of blood in the body, which can lead to anemia, which can harm the growth and development of children, and can easily lead to premature birth, resulting in low weight of the newborn, and can even cause fetal death. 2, the retention of toxins The disease is often caused by the difficulty of defecation, for a long time, the pregnant woman’s body of toxins will be difficult to normal discharge. The toxins that should be excreted will continue to be wrongly absorbed by the body, which will not only harm the mother, but also the fetus that is developing normally. 3, interference with childbirth In order for the child to come out smoothly, the mother-to-be has to hold her breath and exert pressure on the abdomen, which then induces or exacerbates the hemorrhoids, which become embedded, and the pain and discomfort is likely to prevent the normal conduct of labor. How to relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids during pregnancy? 1, dietary regimen Pay attention to light, away from heavy or too greasy food, such as ginger, onion, pepper and other food to the stomach and intestines stimulation, and not conducive to digestion of the food should be eaten as little as possible or not. Vegetables and fruits are also important, such as bananas, strawberries, fava beans, spinach and so on, they have a significant amount of dietary fiber, which helps accelerate the movement of the stomach and intestines. In the choice of daily snacks, you can choose walnuts and sesame seeds, which have a high amount of vegetable fats, which can ease the phenomenon of difficult bowel movements. Finally, we recommend a bowl of honey water or salt white water, drink in the morning, although the method is simple and promote intestinal peristalsis. 2, life conditioning Bath tub Although the care of the intimate area, and does not advocate sitz bath, but if replaced with the disease is a different story. Every day, according to the body, you can fill the bathtub with warm water, put all the hips into the water and enjoy about half an hour of water care. Of course, if you do not have a bathtub at home, you can also buy a suitable basin in the store, which can have the same effect. Exercise Every day you have to arrange some exercise for yourself, such as morning and evening walks, health care gymnastics, etc. Here we recommend you to carry out anal lifting exercises. The specific method is: the two legs together, while breathing in and clenching the anus, while whistling to make the anus slack, 3 times a day, each time to carry out 30 times, the method can make the pelvic muscles get a good workout to help defecation. Ice packs Apply medical ice packs to the external hemorrhoid area daily to relieve discomfort and redness, noting that the duration of each external application is 5-10 minutes. For better results, you can also take a sitz bath immediately after applying the compress to relieve pain between hot and cold crossings. Hand towels Do not use colored or smelly hand towels to wipe your buttocks to prevent excessive stimulation of the skin. You should choose hand towels with high cleanliness, good paper quality, soft feel and no smell, which are more suitable for pregnant women. Habits Some people have to stand or sit for a long time because of their work, which is not scientific and should increase the usual rest time more often. When you lie down to rest, raise your hips about 23 cm as much as possible. Try to develop a biological clock for toileting. To avoid symptoms becoming severe, you should stop reading your cell phone, magazines or newspapers in the toilet. 3.Surgery Usually, doctors do not recommend surgical treatment, but if the symptoms are severe and painful even after food and life modifications, this method can be used, but the time limit is about 20-32 weeks, but more care is needed from the doctor.
