The saying that nine out of ten hemorrhoids is certainly a bit of an exaggeration, but it also reflects the fact that hemorrhoids are a common and frequent disease. A lot of people think that hemorrhoids are a minor illness and that they will pass. Some people also say that if you have hemorrhoids, it’s easy and quick to get rid of them with a knife. Some people even describe hemorrhoids as being potentially cancerous, which makes hemorrhoid sufferers terrified. The following are a few misconceptions about hemorrhoids: 1. Hemorrhoids are a minor disease? The occurrence of hemorrhoids is related to dietary factors and poor lifestyle habits. Some people like to drink alcohol, eat spicy and irritating food, as a result, the upper head comfortable, the lower head suffer. If you have been squatting for a long time, reading a book while defecating, or standing for a long time, you are also prone to hemorrhoids, such as teachers and other occupations that stand for a long time; sitting for a long time presses the anus and causes local blood circulation to be blocked, which can cause thrombosed external hemorrhoids. The next generation is also likely to suffer from hemorrhoids if their parents have them. Hemorrhoids are minor in the early stages, when the symptoms are not obvious and can be treated or untreated. However, if the bleeding does not stop, it must be treated. If you are paralyzed or embarrassed about hemorrhoids and delay the condition, it can cause anemia or even hemorrhagic shock over time. Among the hemorrhoid patients he sees, jet bleeding can reach hundreds of milliliters, and the patient does not feel it yet, and then faints in the toilet after seeing the blood. Some patients have repeated bleeding for up to six months, with pale faces, general weakness, and severe anemia. In some cases, embedded hemorrhoids occur and become infected and necrotic. Generally speaking, no symptoms can not be smelt, maintain local hygiene can be. If there are symptoms such as unclean after defecation, anal dampness and pain, then treatment is needed. The important thing is that often patients think they have “hemorrhoids”, which is a minor disease, and do not see a doctor for a long time, but when they come for treatment, they find rectal cancer. Hemorrhoids usually do not turn into cancer, but rectal cancer may have the same symptoms as hemorrhoids, so it can cause misdiagnosis. 2.Can surgery be a complete treatment? Hemorrhoid surgery is generally indicated for second or third stage internal hemorrhoids or circumferential mixed hemorrhoids or connective tissue external hemorrhoids. Early hemorrhoids are effectively treated with conservative therapies, such as sitz baths, suppository plugs, white medicine, and physical therapy. The short-term effect can be, but it is easy to recur. The experts reminded that some into drinking cold boiled water can cure the disease, such as drinking a glass of cold boiled water in the morning can relieve constipation, but also relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids under the blood or pain, but should not be superstitious conservative therapy, so as not to delay the disease, some people did hemorrhoid surgery soon after the relapse, issued a desperate argument: hemorrhoids can not be cured. You should also pay attention to your eating habits, don’t eat greasy and irritating food, don’t drink alcohol often, develop good bowel habits and don’t read a book while going to the toilet. The goal of hemorrhoid treatment is to eliminate the symptoms, and if the patient is bleeding or in pain, then treatment is needed. If there are not too many symptoms and there is just a small packet in the anus, this condition can be left untreated and there is no need to make a fuss about it, it will not have a major impact on the body. Taking down the hemorrhoid at the site of the attack through surgery does not mean that the big job is done, as there is still a possibility of the neighboring areas being targeted. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, in addition to early conservative treatment, in some cases instrumental treatments such as clamping, electrocautery, radiofrequency, injection, and anastomosis can also be used. Each of these therapies has its own strict indications and requires the judgment of a specialist. If the above methods are not effective, surgery can finally be considered. 3, too optimistic and pessimistic view of hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids don’t kill people anyway, they never take it seriously. This is a bit of self-deception, this part of the population belongs to the optimists. Optimists often end up delaying the condition. They always treat all anal discomfort and anal diseases as hemorrhoids, and this view may mask other more serious conditions, such as bowel cancer. In fact, for the symptom of blood in the stool alone, several diseases may have this symptom. For example, a change in bowel pattern, blood in stool with mucus is often an early symptom of rectal cancer; blood in stool mixed with fresh blood is usually a polyp; painful blood in the anal area with bright red blood may be an anal fissure; mucus in stool, dark blood in stool, and a feeling of falling in the anus are mostly intestinal inflammation or intestinal cancer. There are also some people who are pessimists, who are clearly diagnosed with hemorrhoids but are worried that they will become cancerous. Hemorrhoids are generally not cancerous, and the cancer rate is reported to be very low, only a few per thousand. Diseases of the anal area such as fistulas, anal fissures, and rectal polyps can become cancerous if left untreated for a long time. In comparison, the cancer rate of anal ulcerative colitis and multiple colorectal polyps is higher.
