Hemorrhoids (commonly known as hemorrhoids) are a common condition located in the anal area that can develop at any age, but the incidence gradually increases as we get older. So, what are the symptoms of having hemorrhoids? The following are some of the symptoms of having hemorrhoids: bleeding: internal hemorrhoids of all stages will bleed, the blood color is mainly bright red. The amount of bleeding is mainly manifested as fresh blood on the stool when defecating, blood on the paper, etc. Seriously, there will be drip bleeding, jet bleeding, if not taken seriously, the disease is longer, it can be secondary to hemorrhagic anemia, the patient will appear dizzy and weak, pale, up the stairs will be shortness of breath and panic, seriously affecting the quality of life. If left untreated for a long time, it can aggravate the symptoms of blood in the stool, pain and discomfort, itching, etc. Seriously, it may cause the nucleus of the hemorrhoid to prolapse and form an impaction, which may necrotize and infect other tissues, or cause perianal abscesses and fistulas, or even be so serious as to cause anal dysfunction; the blood in the stool of hemorrhoids can cause iron deficiency anemia, and bacteria and toxins can invade the blood and cause septicemia; in addition, because the location of hemorrhoids and rectal cancer is similar, they both have blood in the stool. The existence of hemorrhoids can conceal rectal cancer and delay the best treatment time for rectal cancer, thus causing irreversible damage. Prolapse: Internal hemorrhoids that are prolapsed outside the anus are held by the sphincter muscle, and the venous return is blocked, while the arterial blood is still continuously input will increase the volume of internal hemorrhoids until the arterial blood vessels are pressed shut and thrombus is formed, resulting in hardened hemorrhoid nuclei that are difficult to send back to the anus, thus causing unbearable pain. More seriously, the nucleus of the hemorrhoid, which is located outside the anus, is exposed to bacteria and other hazards that can cause lesions, resulting in the accumulation of local metabolites and increased local edema in the anus, thus causing a vicious cycle. The necrosis of the hemorrhoid nucleus may also cause infection of the local tissues and, in serious cases, sepsis.
