Hemorrhoids: doctor’s questions truthfully answered, after the question on the hands of the investigation

Strictly speaking, hemorrhoids are not considered to be clinically difficult to cure disease, many patients with hemorrhoids “long time”, most of them are because the patients feel embarrassed, has been delayed, not willing to systematic treatment. As a result, hemorrhoids become more and more serious, and the patient’s symptoms become more and more obvious. Some of the milder symptoms of hemorrhoids, after improving diet and lifestyle habits, there is the possibility of self-healing, but more serious hemorrhoids generally can not be cured by themselves, so the treatment is unavoidable. Patients need to do a good enough psychological construction, as soon as possible to take a brave step, to its targeted treatment. And before that need to choose a right department. 1, the recommended examination department Hemorrhoids can choose to consult a lot of departments, anorectal surgery, general surgery, gastrointestinal surgery can be diagnosed. Patients who have perianal pain, bleeding after defecation, or anal area there is a lump or abnormal bulge, you can choose a regular hospital in time to the above departments for consultation. But the diagnosis of hemorrhoids is not as simple as imagined, can not come up to the anal finger test, because before that, the doctor also needs to understand the patient’s medical history through the following questions. 2, ask the diagnosis of common problems (1) when to start bleeding? (2) Is there a lot of blood? (3) Is there any family history? (4) What are the usual living habits? (5) Is there a palpable swelling at the anal opening? When answering questions, it is recommended to be as precise as possible. For example, if the doctor asks when did the bleeding start? For example, if the doctor asks when the bleeding started, the patient can answer accurately the approximate time according to his/her own situation, for example, the blood in the stool started last month or last week, and the same goes for other questions. When the inquiry is over, the doctor will really start to “get started”, that is, to carry out further examination. 3, further examination (1) visual diagnosis visual diagnosis, as the name suggests, is the doctor through the observation of the state of the patient’s perianal area, the patient’s disease diagnosis process. The diagnosis can roughly determine whether the possibility of external hemorrhoids, but can not clearly diagnose whether the patient has internal hemorrhoids. (2) Anal Finger Examination Anal Finger Examination Schematic Diagram Anal Finger Examination is a process in which the doctor puts on a finger cuff or gloves, lubricates his index finger, and inserts it into the rectum from the anus, touching the inner wall of the rectum and checking for bulging or bulging organisms. If no abnormality of the rectal lining occurs during this examination, the patient is usually recommended for further examination, i.e. anoscopy or proctoscopy. (3) Other Examinations Enteroscopy and anoscopy provide a better view of the inner wall of the rectum, and in addition to the diagnosis of hemorrhoids can also rule out other diseases, such as colon polyps, inflammation, or even colon cancer. Diagram of anoscopy In the anal finger test or anoscopy and proctoscopy, the patient more or less will have some discomfort symptoms, then the patient should be appropriate to relax, relieve tension, listen to the doctor’s arrangements, and do a good job before the examination of all the preparations. At present, some hospitals have advanced the painless colonoscopy and other new types of examination, if it is really difficult to tolerate the routine examination, perhaps you can choose painless, will be less uncomfortable. In fact, hemorrhoids are just a common anorectal disease and need not be treated as a “secret”. Instead of going to the toilet with fear and trepidation, it is better to seek early medical treatment, regular treatment, and let the “small chrysanthemums” back to normal as soon as possible.
