Hemorrhoids are a common and prevalent disease known to almost everyone, and they can occur in different populations and at all ages, which is why there is a folk saying that nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids. But behind the high popularity and incidence of hemorrhoids, there are many secrets that need to be explored. 1. Can hemorrhoids be cured? Can hemorrhoids be cured? Before answering this question, it is important to clarify that hemorrhoids and piles are not the same thing. Hemorrhoids are a normal physiological structure that is located under the mucous membrane of the lower rectum and the skin of the anal canal, mainly composed of veins and blood vessels and some connective tissue. Hemorrhoids belong to a normal tissue of human body, in general, the venous vessels maintain a certain degree of fullness, acting as an elastic cushion to increase the sealing performance of the anus when it is closed, so that feces, gas and liquid do not flow out casually; hemorrhoids also have a very important sensing function, after the intestinal contents reach the rectum and anal canal, the mucous membrane on the surface of hemorrhoid tissue will accurately sense the physical form of intestinal contents, and on the right occasion, feces, gas and In addition, the mucosa of hemorrhoids has an important immune function. Therefore, by physiological definition, hemorrhoids should be a functional organ and carry out important physiological functions. Hemorrhoids are only called hemorrhoids when they are diseased, also known as hemorrhoid disease. Hemorrhoids are a pathological condition resulting from the downward migration of hemorrhoidal tissue and excessive varicose veins. Depending on where the hemorrhoid occurs, there are external, internal, and mixed hemorrhoids. Most external hemorrhoids do not require any treatment, and it is mostly the symptomatic internal hemorrhoids that require treatment. In conclusion, hemorrhoids are a normal physiological structure, hemorrhoid tissue is a useful organ just like our nose and eyes, the nose and eyes suffer from rhinitis and ophthalmia curing their disease, while the nose and eyes are still there, there is a chance to suffer from the disease again. The same goes for hemorrhoids. The treatment of hemorrhoids is to treat the diseased hemorrhoids and remove the hemorrhoid disease, not to remove all the hemorrhoid tissues, the normal hemorrhoid tissues are still there, which leaves a histological basis for developing the hemorrhoid disease again, so the hemorrhoids will flare up again at some point in the future after effective treatment, and this is the reason why hemorrhoids cannot be cured. If all hemorrhoids are removed due to lesions, their physiological function will be lost and the function of the anorectum will be affected. As a result, hemorrhoids cannot be removed completely, and of course, they cannot be cured. However, the fact that it cannot be cured does not mean that it cannot be effectively controlled. At present, it is believed that asymptomatic hemorrhoids do not require any treatment, and treatment is only considered when bleeding occurs and the lump prolapses from the anus, affecting life. For patients who need effective control, in addition to appropriate conservative treatment, injection therapy, traditional surgical excision, PH surgery, and ultrasonic knife excision are appropriate treatment methods. 2.Can hemorrhoids be prevented? Although hemorrhoids cannot be cured, good lifestyle habits can effectively prevent their occurrence or deterioration, of which the control of bowel time is an important factor. The incidence of hemorrhoids is very low in people who have controlled their bowel movements for less than 2 minutes, according to foreign statistics. The longer the defecation time, the higher the incidence of hemorrhoids. Therefore, changing bad bowel habits and correcting constipation are important measures to prevent the occurrence and deterioration of hemorrhoids. It is also important to note that a regular diet and a smooth bowel movement are also preventive measures that should not be ignored.
