What are hemorrhoids? The ancients said that it is a “protrusion”, like a hill, so it is called “standoff”. Foreigners say it is “bleeding”, like a local pressure reducing valve, so it is called “Hemorrhoid”. Anatomists say it is “varicose veins”, such as hemangioma. Recent scholars say that it is “anal pad damage”. In order to clarify the true nature of this “bad guy” that almost everyone is looking for trouble, eight metaphors are used to introduce. 1, blowing up the balloon Hemorrhoids are balloons, from the appearance is. Of course, you have to look under the skin, under the microscope (right, hemorrhoid pathology diagram, black circle is hemorrhoids), or anatomical diagram (below). The blue tissue is the hemorrhoidal blood vessels localized to the anus and lower rectum, with an inflated portion in the middle, doesn’t it look like a balloon? Since it is a balloon and does not blow up, what factors blow up these balloons? Look at the chart below. The reasons listed in the chart will all blow up the big balloon and trigger hemorrhoids. So, I don’t need to tell you that you know how to prevent it. Since it’s a balloon, can we deflate the balloon to treat it along these lines, of course we can! Clinically, for varicose external hemorrhoids, you can treat them by stripping, or puncturing the vein mass without going for excision, and you can reduce the trauma. 2, is the crater Compare these two pictures, is how strikingly similar, similar objects between must have its intrinsic consistency. The formation of a volcanic crater comes from the pressure and tension of a volcanic eruption, and similarly the formation of hemorrhoids comes from pressure (abdominal and anal canal pressure) and gravity. From this perspective, constipation and diarrhea are important causes of hemorrhoids. The picture above is a circumferential mixed hemorrhoid. 3, is damaged gasket Here is an important concept, many people are afraid of hemorrhoids, its predecessor is surprisingly useful human tissue, this is true or false? It is true! What is the anus for? It controls the exit of the digestive tract, which includes the function of closure and defecation. The anal closure is tight, gas, liquid and stool can not pass freely, to meet this demand alone muscle and skin is not possible, need to play a role in fine-tuning the “gasket” to assist, the anal gasket is called “anal cushion”, is the predecessor of hemorrhoids. If the anal cushion is aged and displaced, hemorrhoids will occur. This is why constipation and toilet addiction are the culprits of hemorrhoids, and conversely, over-treatment of hemorrhoids can affect the function of anal closure. 4, is ripe strawberries Speaking of which, many people may accuse, you so metaphorically, how to eat strawberries in the future? Sorry, I really can’t find a better metaphor. Internal hemorrhoids are this way, the surface covered with intestinal mucosa, bright red color, easy bleeding, grow up with defecation will come out of the anus, bringing inconvenience to life. On hemorrhoid plugs or cream effective, you can also use acacia tea to relieve blood in the stool. 5, is a pipe leak We are all familiar with leaking water pipes, faucet problems will mostly drip, and seam problems will have to spray out. Hemorrhoids bleeding, both of these cases. It is sometimes difficult to trace the cause of blood in the stool, but if there is a spray of blood, then it can be basically concluded that it is caused by internal hemorrhoids, and this time you must seek help from a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise you will soon become anemic. You should know that spurting blood is poorly treated with medication, anemia is a huge hazard, and it is very slow to make up. 6, is a light bulb How did the strawberry become a light bulb again? This is a hundred different hemorrhoids. According to the different parts of the growth, hemorrhoids can be divided into internal hemorrhoids (lower rectum) and external hemorrhoids (anal canal and anal edge). This bulb-like hemorrhoid is an external hemorrhoid with edema, which is an acute attack, swollen and painful, common in pregnant women, and can also be triggered by excessive alcohol consumption and constipation. It is usually self-absorbing, but a few severe cases require surgery. Salt + alum water sitz bath can promote the absorption of edema. 7, is black pearl This is thrombosed external hemorrhoids, the onset of sudden, painful, can be in the anal edge of the touch hard nodes. The ruptured blood vessels of the hemorrhoid are caused by bleeding and stagnation under the skin. The size of the small beans can be confidently absorbed, but those who are too large need to be surgically stripped. 8, is a dead branch Useless and also in the way, this is the real picture of the anal skin drop (connective tissue external hemorrhoids), like a dead branch. What’s in the way? It is a good idea to use the same method as the other two. The treatment of “dead branches” mainly depends on the degree of obstruction, if you do not care, you can always carry it on your body. If it seriously affects your life, it is advisable to “cut” the branches, and it is best for women who are preparing for pregnancy to have their doctor evaluate them, otherwise they may “come alive” during pregnancy. Once this happens, it will be very difficult to deal with it again, and the result is that you will have to endure the pain and suffering.
