Hemorrhoids are a common disease in anus and intestines, can be divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids, in the patient’s anus or inside the anus, there will be a purplish-red swelling. With the aggravation of the condition, the swelling will gradually increase in size, become red and swollen and painful, and in severe cases, there will be bleeding in the stool, prolapse of hemorrhoids and other phenomena. If hemorrhoids are not treated in time, it will lead to anal pain, swelling, itching and other symptoms, which will affect the patient’s normal life. In addition, severe hemorrhoids may also have persistent bleeding, which, if left untreated, may lead to chronic anemia and other phenomena, affecting the patient’s health. However, hemorrhoids will not affect life expectancy and will usually return to normal after active treatment. If you find hemorrhoids with perianal discomfort, you should go to a regular hospital in a timely manner to control the disease and avoid adverse consequences.
