Pregnant women are a high risk group for hemorrhoids. The trouble and pain of hemorrhoids in pregnant women is not small, seriously affecting normal life and movement, and individually even causing miscarriage, premature birth or other complications. What can be done to prevent and treat hemorrhoids during pregnancy? The first thing you need to do to prevent getting hemorrhoids during pregnancy is to develop good eating habits. Pregnant women should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in their daily diet, and should pay particular attention to eating more foods rich in crude fiber, such as celery, leeks, bitter gourd, radish, cabbage, etc. They should also eat more coarse grains, such as corn, groundnuts, millet, etc. These foods, in addition to being rich in nutrients, can also stimulate intestinal peristalsis and prevent the accumulation of feces in the intestinal tract. Pregnant women should pay attention not to eat or eat less spicy and irritating food and condiments, but also to develop the habit of drinking more water, preferably some light salt water or honey water. Second, to develop good bowel habits. Pregnant women should develop the good habit of regular bowel movements. Defecation time should be relatively fixed, generally can be set in a meal after a good. Once the habit of defecation is formed, do not easily change, to the time of defecation, even if there is no intention to stool also insist on the toilet. But each squatting toilet time generally do not exceed 10 minutes. If you can’t get out at once, you can get up and rest for a while and go again. Never squat in the toilet to read a book, read the newspaper, but increase the abdominal pressure and pressure of the blood flow around the anus, leading to hemorrhoids or aggravate hemorrhoids. If the stool is dry and difficult to defecate, you can use some laxative drugs, such as marenzole, fruit guide tablets, etc. It is not advisable to use laxatives, not to mention the application of pressure enemas and other methods to laxative, so as not to cause abortion or premature delivery. In addition, some physical activities and anal health care should be carried out appropriately. Pregnant women should prevent being sedentary and promote appropriate outdoor activities. Such as walking, doing exercises and playing taijiquan, etc. A moderate amount of physical activity can enhance physical fitness, promote intestinal peristalsis and increase appetite, and prevent constipation. You can do anal retraction exercises twice a day, 30 to 40 times each morning and evening. This is good for enhancing the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and blood circulation around the anus, which is good for defecation and prevention of hemorrhoids. You can also do regular anal massage to improve local blood circulation by washing the area with warm water after defecation, then pressing the anus with a hot towel and massaging it clockwise and counterclockwise 15 times each. It is best to treat hemorrhoids before pregnancy. If you have hemorrhoids during pregnancy, you should still use high-fiber foods, warm water baths and stool softeners, and topical ointments and suppositories are also useful, but when using ointments and suppositories, you must use safe medications. Some drugs containing steroids should be avoided, especially for women in early pregnancy. There are some topical non-surgical treatments that need to be considered as to whether they are safe in pregnant women. So far, rubber band ligation and local lithotripsy injections have been reported in the literature as feasible and safe. However, the safety of infrared coagulation and lasers in pregnant women is not conclusive as they are still not widely used. If the symptoms are severe, surgical treatment cannot be avoided. If surgery is needed, it should be avoided in the early stages of pregnancy because that is the time when the fetal organs are being formed. At the end of pregnancy, it is better to operate in the middle of pregnancy because the pregnant woman’s belly is larger and it is more difficult to arrange the position during the operation and there is a fear of early delivery due to the operation. It is better to use local anesthesia during the surgery and avoid giving drugs before the surgery to avoid adverse reactions to the fetus.
