Constipation and hemorrhoids Constipation is often the main cause of hemorrhoids. Constipation, due to dry stool compression rectum, so that the rectal mucosa of the lower layer of the veins directly compressed, rectal anal vein blood return obstruction; constipation, defecation time is too long, and force to hold the breath defecation, can make the abdominal pressure increased, more rectal anal vein reflux obstruction. In the long run, hemorrhoids are likely to occur. Constipation can cause the occurrence of hemorrhoids, and because hemorrhoids can cause painful defecation, some patients are afraid to defecate when the pain or force to tolerate the inconvenience, so that feces in the intestine stay too long, which can cause constipation or aggravate constipation. Constipation and prolapse Prolapse refers to a disease in which the anal canal, rectum, and even the sigmoid colon are displaced downward and turned outward by the anal canal. This disease can occur at any age, but it is more common in children and the elderly. Older people are prone to prolapse, mainly due to the decline of the whole body organs, muscle relaxation, and reduced pelvic floor muscle tone. If constipation is chronic and defecation is repeatedly violent, prolapse can often be caused or aggravated. In the early stage of prolapse, the “swelling” may come out from the anus due to forceful defecation, but the “swelling” may retract by itself after defecation. After that, it gradually aggravates, except for the prolapse caused by forceful defecation, it can also be caused by coughing and walking with slight abdominal pressure, and often cannot be retracted by itself, and the prolapsed mass must be held into the anus by hand. If the prolapsed mass cannot be retracted, inflammation and swelling will easily occur, which will cause pain and further aggravate constipation. Therefore, constipation is an important factor that causes and aggravates prolapse. The relationship between constipation and colorectal cancer We already know that vegetables contain a large amount of fiber, which can promote the peristalsis of the large intestine and facilitate defecation. One of the reasons arising from long-term constipation is partial diet or eating too little vegetables and fiber. Due to the lack of fiber in the food, the intestinal movement slows down, and the body cannot excrete these carcinogenic substances or harmful substances out of the body in time with the stool, which makes the stool stay longer in the intestine, so that the contact time between these carcinogenic substances in the stool and the intestinal mucosa is prolonged, increasing the possibility of causing cancer. The relationship between constipation and hypertension, stroke and stroke Hypertension is one of the most important diseases that threaten human health and even life at present. Hypertensive patients with constipation are also prone to aggravate hypertension, as straining during defecation can accelerate the heartbeat, strengthen the heart contraction, increase the amount of heartbeat, blood pressure will suddenly rise further. When the pressure exceeds the capacity of the blood vessel wall, the blood vessel ruptures and cerebral hemorrhage occurs, which is manifested as the patient suddenly faints when going to the toilet, unconsciousness, distorted mouth and eyes, unfavorable language, and hemiplegia; or no fainting, numbness of the limbs, hemiplegia and other stroke symptoms. If hypertension is the main risk factor for cerebral hemorrhage, constipation is an important contributing factor for cerebral hemorrhage. Effective treatment of constipation and keeping the bowels open can stabilize the treatment of hypertension and prevent the occurrence of strokes. What is the relationship between constipation and coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction Coronary heart disease is a heart disease caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries distributed in the heart, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, ischemia and hypoxia. Angina pectoris is the main symptom of coronary heart disease. It can occur after labor, excitement, meals, fever, cold, or smoking. Constipation can also cause an attack if the person is constipated and straining to defecate. During an attack, the heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, the face becomes pale, and cold sweating occurs. In case of arrhythmia, dizziness, palpitations and even fainting may occur. Coronary heart disease can easily aggravate and induce constipation. Middle-aged and elderly people with coronary artery disease, further restricted activities, prolonged bed rest during attacks, long-term use of calcium antagonists, these can trigger and aggravate constipation. Constipation can aggravate the condition of coronary heart disease and increase the load on the heart. The abdominal distension caused by constipation can raise the diaphragm, affecting the ventilation function of the lungs and the blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Especially when defecating due to the effort of defecation, oxygen consumption increases, so that the heart rate increases, myocardial oxygen consumption increases, myocardial ischemic state aggravates, triggering angina, and even angina syncope, or lead to a more serious myocardial infarction. Therefore, when treating coronary heart disease, you must not neglect the treatment of constipation. There is no such thing as preventive surgery when you have “hemorrhoids now, hemorrhoids will not develop in the future”. If the main symptom is not very serious, there is no need to operate. The hemorrhoids will only be operated on if: 1. The hemorrhoids have developed to such an extent that they cannot be returned to their original position outside the anus. When this condition affects daily life and the patient wishes to have surgery, the hemorrhoid may come out of the anus with a cough or a little effort. (Interfering with daily life means that it takes 30 minutes or an hour to dispose of after defecation every day. Therefore, you want to go on a trip with a friend, but cancel your plans because you cannot move together. In addition, the nucleus of the hemorrhoid comes out with the slightest strain, and you cannot do the sports you like. Such hemorrhoid nucleus prolapse has bound the daily life, completely reducing the quality of life, and the patient suffers from this state and wishes to undergo surgery). 2.When bleeding is severe enough to cause anemia, and other treatments cannot stop the bleeding.
