The answer is undoubtedly no. This misconception appears firstly because some medical advertisements are misleading and intimidate you to accept their treatment. The second is that hemorrhoids are really easy to confuse with rectal cancer, treating rectal cancer bleeding as hemorrhoid bleeding, and when you find out it is rectal cancer, you still think it is hemorrhoids that have changed. Although hemorrhoids are not cancerous, the occurrence of blood in the stool must not be taken lightly, and timely examination to clarify the cause is the most important. The second misconception is that bleeding hemorrhoids are trivial. If there is blood after every stool, it should never be underestimated. A person with bleeding hemorrhoids that lasts more than 10 days may become anemic, and once anemia occurs, it is difficult to recover on its own, and some need to be hospitalized to correct it. Anemia can also be harmful to the body. Not only does it cause sleepiness, weakness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, blurred eyes, tinnitus, etc., which seriously affect work and life, but also for children and teenagers, it causes anorexia and paranoia, poor development, memory loss, poor academic performance, difficulty in sleeping, susceptibility to various infections, fever, cold, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, etc. For women, they may also experience inexplicable irritability, easy anger, severe menstrual pain and irregular periods. For pregnant women, it can affect the development of certain important organs of the fetus, such as brain tissue and the nervous system. It is also more dangerous during delivery, and complications from anemia are a major cause of death in pregnant women and newborns. The main reason why many hemorrhoid patients are afraid to go into the hospital is because they are afraid of the pain, and even on the internet some people say that hemorrhoid surgery is the world’s number one pain, which is of course alarming. This misconception arises on the one hand because some old, outdated treatments are really damaging and painful, plus some low-level doctors or quacks treat them indiscriminately. The human body has evolved over a long period of time, due to the need for bowel function, the local nerves in the anus are unusually rich and sensitive to various stimuli, so relatively speaking, the pain in this area is indeed slightly greater, whether the disease or surgical treatment, but in recent years, with the continuous improvement of treatment methods and the application of many new analgesic methods, hemorrhoid surgery to achieve basic pain-free has become a reality. The author’s CHEC technique is indeed minimally invasive and painless. Myth #4: Painless treatment by applying medicine The medicine applied here is not the usual hemorrhoid medicine, but a medicine that can make the hemorrhoids fall off. Some advertisements say this is an advanced method that can be used painlessly instead of surgery. Usually, people are afraid of surgery when they hear about it, and now it says that applying the medicine will do, which caters to the psychology of many hemorrhoid patients, and many people try the medicine on their own, and what is the result? Scam. The coating is just a corrosive drug made into a nail agent that is inserted into the hemorrhoid when used to make it necrotic and fall off, mainly for internal hemorrhoids, which are eliminated in the clinic due to more complications such as infection and bleeding. The principle of applying medicine to cure hemorrhoids is also withering hemorrhoids, through the corrosive effect of drugs to achieve the purpose of getting rid of hemorrhoids. In fact, the method is not painless nor safe, the erosion and ulceration process will continue to be painful locally, and at the same time, due to the poor positioning of the drug application, often the hemorrhoids and the surrounding normal skin ulcerate together, resulting in anal skin defects and anal stenosis. The damage caused to the human body is self-evident. Myth #5: Believe in false advertising In recent years, new high-tech terms for the treatment of hemorrhoids have emerged, and some hospitals use overwhelming advertising, deliberately exaggerate the role of instruments, but also crowned with titles such as Korea, Japan, and the United States, seemingly not to cure the disease, but to fight a United Nations high-tech war against hemorrhoids. Some of these are defects in the equipment itself that are simply not suitable for use in treatment, such as lasers, which are now largely eliminated from clinical use. Some of these are caused by doctors’ irrational and over-scoped indiscriminate use, such as PPH, which was originally only for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids and rectal mucosal relaxation, while some units are used even for anal fissures, even abscesses and anal fistulas, whose purpose is only to earn money.
