What are the dangers of untreated mixed hemorrhoids? The hemorrhoids are also known as internal and external hemorrhoids. The main manifestation of mixed hemorrhoids is the formation of a mass of varicose veins above and below the dentate line in the same direction of the anus, which is connected to the inside and outside without clear demarcation. Mixed hemorrhoids are venous masses of varicose veins in the upper and lower rectum. The varicose and enlarged internal and external venous plexus of hemorrhoids, which communicate and anastomose with each other, and the disappearance of the sphincter sulcus, so that the internal and external parts of hemorrhoids form a whole, are called mixed hemorrhoids. The main symptoms of mixed hemorrhoids are as follows: Blood in the stool: painless, intermittent, bright red blood after stool is its characteristic, and is also a common symptom in the early stage of internal or mixed hemorrhoids. It is also a common symptom in the early stage of internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids. In mild cases, it is mostly blood on the stool paper, followed by dripping blood, and in severe cases, it is jet-like bleeding, which can often stop on its own after a few days. This is important for diagnosis. Constipation, dry and hard stools, drinking alcohol and eating irritating food are all triggers for bleeding. If the bleeding is repeated over a long period of time, anemia can occur, which is not uncommon clinically and should be differentiated from bleeding disorders. Hemorrhoid prolapse: It is often a late symptom, mostly with blood in the stool followed by prolapse, as the body of the hemorrhoid increases in size in the late stage and gradually separates from the muscle layer and is pushed out of the anus when defecating. In the lighter cases, the prolapsed hemorrhoid only prolapses during stool and can return on its own after stool, while in the heavier cases, it needs to be pushed back by hand. A few patients complain that prolapse is the first symptom. Pain: Simple internal hemorrhoids are painless, a few have a feeling of swelling, when internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids prolapse and become embedded, edema, infection, necrosis, there are varying degrees of pain. Itching: Late internal hemorrhoids, prolapsed hemorrhoids and relaxed anal canal sphincter often have discharge, and due to the stimulation of discharge, there is often itching and discomfort around the anus, and even skin eczema, which is extremely uncomfortable for the patient. Mucus overflow: the rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoid nucleus for a long time, producing inflammatory exudation and increasing secretion. When the anal sphincter is relaxed, it can flow out at any time, so that the anal skin is often stimulated and eczema and itching occurs. The above is an introduction to the hazards of mixed hemorrhoids, and this is only the more common and more common hazards, mixed hemorrhoids if not treated in a timely manner, delayed for a long time, will also cause more terrible hazards, and even difficult to clean up, such as: 1, necrosis: hemorrhoid nucleus embedded in the anus outside, due to a series of pathological changes, so that the accumulation of local metabolites, further aggravated the local edema of the anus, aggravated the embedded hemorrhoid nucleus, which is to This is a vicious circle. Therefore, if the internal hemorrhoid is embedded for a long time, necrosis is bound to occur. The necrosis is often confined to the mucous membrane part of the hemorrhoid nucleus, but there are cases where it invades other parts of the body. There are reports from abroad that the thrombus in the hemorrhoid nucleus spreads upward and the necrotic area extends to the rectal wall, resulting in severe sepsis in the pelvis. 2.Infection: After the nucleus is embedded, there are different degrees of infection, and the patient has symptoms such as urgency, anal swelling, etc. At this time, the infection is mostly confined to the anal area, and if it is strongly reset, it is easy for the infection to spread, causing submucosal, perianal or sciatic-rectal fossa abscess, and if the dislodged bacterial embolus travels up the vein, coupled with improper use of antibiotics or not using any antibacterial drugs, it can form portal vein bacteremia or even sepsis, and liver abscess can be formed.
