Hemorrhoids are a disease that many people are prone to. The age range involved is very wide, but most of them are office workers. If hemorrhoids are treated early, the chance of recovery is still very high. How many people know about hemorrhoids? Do you know what symptoms hemorrhoids will have? Do you know what symptoms are symptoms of hemorrhoids? Then let's take a look at the symptoms of hemorrhoids with the editor.

1. Blood in stool: Slightly painful and intermittent bleeding after defecation is its characteristic, and it is also a common symptom of internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids in the early stage. Patients often complain that "blood drips down from the anus after defecation" or "there is blood on the toilet paper."

2. Hemorrhoid prolapse: It is often a late-stage symptom, with blood in the stool first and then prolapse. As the hemorrhoids increase in size, they are squeezed by feces during defecation, gradually separating from the muscle layer and protruding from the anus. Initially, they only prolapse during defecation and can return to their original position after defecation. For patients with more severe symptoms, they need to be pushed back by hand or rest in bed before they can return to their original position. For patients with more severe symptoms, in addition to prolapse during defecation, they may also prolapse when exerting force, walking, coughing, sneezing, squatting, etc.

3. Pain: Simple internal hemorrhoids are generally painless, and sometimes only feel swollen anus or difficulty in defecation. If the hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen, there is thrombosis or incarceration in the hemorrhoids, which will cause pain; if they are prolapsed and not restored in time, the pain will worsen; if incarceration occurs, there will be necrosis and inflammation and edema of the skin around the anus, which will cause severe pain and the patient will be restless.

4. Mucus outflow: The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing increased secretions. In late-stage internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to the relaxation of the anal sphincter. In mild cases, secretions flow out during bowel movements, and in severe cases, secretions flow out naturally even without bowel movements. When internal hemorrhoids prolapse, there will be more secretions.

5. Itching: Due to the stimulation of secretions or prolapsed hemorrhoids, the skin around the anus becomes moist all day long, leading to the occurrence of eczema and itching.

If you have any of the above symptoms, you need to pay more attention. You can go to the hospital for examination first. If the condition is found early, the difficulty of treatment will be much lower, the treatment time will be shortened, and the effect will be increased. In addition to treatment, you also need to improve your eating habits and the way of life and work, and avoid long-term sitting.
