1, what is hemorrhoids? Answer: In the lower end of the rectum and the anal canal in humans, there are blood vessels and supportive tissues under the mucous membrane or under the epithelium within a week’s time, known as the “vascular cushion”, and the blood vessels in it are called “hemorrhoidal blood vessels”, the vascular cushion is innate, and it has an important function. First, the vascular cushion assists the anus in controlling bowel movements through pressure changes. Second, because the cushion is elastic, it protects the muscles around the anus from being damaged by dry stools; at the same time, the cushion is relatively soft and ensures a perfect closure of the anus in order to keep the area around the anus clean. When the supporting tissues are loose and the hemorrhoidal blood vessels become abnormally varicose and prolapsed, hemorrhoids are produced in some people. 2.How many kinds of hemorrhoids are there? A: The types of hemorrhoids are divided into three kinds: internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids occur in the anus above the dentate line, called internal hemorrhoids, under the external hemorrhoids, if both up and down that is mixed hemorrhoids. The symptoms are different depending on where they occur. Internal hemorrhoids because of the thin mucous membrane, so the typical symptoms are bleeding, and prolapse and itching around the anus, but because of the vegetative nerve innervation, so generally painless. External hemorrhoids because easy to cause anal canal closure incomplete, secretions stimulate the anus, so the typical symptoms are itching, burning sensation, dirty around the anus, but also easy to pressure, venous blood flow stagnation, resulting in thrombosis, so the pain symptoms are heavier. 3, blood in stool is hemorrhoids? A: blood in stool is the most common early symptom of internal hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoidal bleeding is generally intermittent, dry stool, fatigue, drinking alcohol, over-eating irritating food is often the cause of bleeding. The performance is bleeding in the anus after defecation, the blood color is bright red, not mixed with feces or the appearance of blood, and then dripping blood, or even see the jet-like bleeding, most of the bleeding after the stool is to stop on their own. People always think of blood in the stool as an attack of hemorrhoids. As a result of this misunderstanding, many people tend to have blood in the stool on their own with a bit of treatment of hemorrhoids suppositories or hemostatic drugs, self-treatment, for patients with less severe symptoms, self-treatment will be symptomatic will be relieved, the serious must go to the regular hospital for medical treatment. Here to remind you, a few patients due to long-term repeated hemorrhoidal bleeding, severe anemia may occur. However, colon, digestive system diseases may cause blood in the stool, to the regular hospital anorectal department to do timely examination, in order to get timely treatment. For middle-aged and elderly people, blood in the stool may be a danger sign of rectal cancer, which must cause enough vigilance. Uncomfortable around the anus, the anus at the length of something, as well as the emergence of anal bleeding, perianal pain, etc., not necessarily have hemorrhoids, there are many diseases will also have such a performance, for example, perianal abscess, tumor, warts, as well as anal fissure, etc., you need to wait for the doctor’s examination in order to make a diagnosis, including the naked eye examination, finger diagnosis and anoscopy. 4.High prevalence of hemorrhoids? A: Vascular cushion everyone has, but not everyone has hemorrhoids. First of all, long-term abdominal pressure is high, such as constipation; and long-term standing workers, such as teachers, salesmen; and long-term sitting and exertion of people, such as drivers, etc., these people are likely to lead to hemorrhoidal vascular pressure elevated for a long time, hemorrhoids on the formation of. As the saying goes, “ten people nine hemorrhoids”, but in fact the incidence of hemorrhoids symptoms is not so high, the incidence of the United States for 4.4%, China for 6.4% or so. 5, hemorrhoids how to treat? A: hemorrhoids are divided into four degrees, according to the light to heavy points 1 degree: fresh blood, hemorrhoids do not come off, bleeding stops after the stool; 2 degrees: fresh blood, with hemorrhoids prolapsed, after the stool to return to their own; 3 degrees: the blood reduces, exertion or intra-abdominal pressure increases the hemorrhoids prolapsed, need to return to the hand; 4 degrees: internal hemorrhoids can not be returned to the prolapsed. Prolapse heavy, does not mean that the disease is serious, because there are individual differences, the length of the anal canal is not the same, will affect the degree of prolapse. Whether treatment is needed depends on the symptoms. Generally speaking, patients with 1st degree, 2nd degree and a few 3rd degree hemorrhoids can be treated with conservative treatment, such as lifestyle changes, dietary habits to alleviate the condition, local injection of sclerotherapy, freezing, ligation and anal dilation, etc. Some patients with 3rd and 4th degree hemorrhoids, as well as those who have not had good results with conservative treatment, should be treated with surgery. The LigaSure Hemorrhoidectomy that we have adopted in recent years has gained the satisfaction of our patients due to its minimally invasive nature, mild post-operative pain and fewer complications.
