The dangers of untreated hemorrhoids

The habits of many people today are very abnormal, leading to an increase in the chances of developing hemorrhoids year after year. Hemorrhoids are the most representative and common of the anorectal diseases. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are not serious about hemorrhoids, but you will not pay attention to them. So, what are the dangers of not treating hemorrhoids for a long time? 1, anemia hemorrhoids disease led to the body’s iron loss, if long-term blood in the stool, losing a lot of iron, so that the body contains less than normal total iron, can cause iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia can be asymptomatic or mild in the early stage, and when the anemia is heavy or progresses faster, there will be pallor, lethargy, loss of appetite, palpitations, increased heart rate and shortness of breath after physical activity, swelling, etc. Some patients can have neurological symptoms such as agitation, excitement, irritability, etc. 2.Inset Another major symptom of hemorrhoids is the prolapse of the internal hemorrhoid, which is held outside the anus by the sphincter muscle, and the venous return is blocked while the arterial blood is still continuously input, making the hemorrhoid nucleus increase in size until the arterial blood vessels are pressed shut, and the thrombus forms a hemorrhoid nucleus, which becomes hard and painful and difficult to return to the anus. The traditional view is called “strangulated internal hemorrhoids”, but clinically it is more common for external hemorrhoids to form thrombi, so they are more painful, and when the nucleus of the hemorrhoid is prolapsed and cannot be returned, it is also called “embedded hemorrhoid”, and prolonged embedded hemorrhoids can also appear lesions. 3, necrosis The nucleus of the hemorrhoid is embedded outside the anus, due to a series of pathological changes so that local metabolites accumulate, further aggravating the local edema of the anus, aggravating the embedded nucleus of the hemorrhoid. This is a vicious circle, so internal hemorrhoids embedded for a long time must appear necrosis, the necrosis is often limited to the mucous membrane part of the hemorrhoid nucleus, but there are also cases of invasion of other parts of the body. 4.Infection After the embedded hemorrhoid, there are different degrees of infection, the patient appears to be urgent and then heavy, anal swelling and other symptoms, at this time the infection is mostly confined to the anal local, if the strong reset is easy to make the infection spread, causing submucosal perianal or sciatic rectal fossa abscess. Fatal portal vein sepsis associated with embedded hemorrhoids has been reported overseas.
