Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital say that hemorrhoids are formed by the expansion and distortion of the venous plexus under the mucosa at the end of the human rectum and around the anus, as well as under the skin around the anus. Depending on the different locations of occurrence, they can be classified into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids differ from other diseases in that they are embarrassing to talk about and can cause physical and mental suffering.
The common clinical symptoms of hemorrhoids include blood in the stool, prolapse of anal masses, anal swelling and pain, a feeling of fullness, and a constant urge to defecate. More serious cases may result in anemia, weight loss, and subsequently lead to dizziness, blurred vision, and weakness. In severe cases of hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoidal nucleus not only protrudes during defecation but also when coughing, squatting, or walking. The discharge of feces or mucus can soil clothing, leading to anal itching, making patients uncomfortable and significantly affecting their learning, work, and life.
Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital indicate that although hemorrhoids are common, if people pay attention to health care in daily life, they can prevent or reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids. Therefore, taking preventive measures for some causes is very important. Sun Jianhua believes that there are many factors that induce hemorrhoids.
It is crucial to develop good habits, mainly focusing on the following aspects:
1. Based on physical health, carry out local anal exercises.
Nowadays, some people do not exercise regularly, leaving many young and middle-aged adults in a sub-healthy state, which is a hidden danger because hypertension, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, abdominal tumors, etc., can easily trigger hemorrhoids. Therefore, participate more in sports activities, such as doing radio calisthenics during work breaks, and engaging in outdoor activities after work. Especially for those who need to sit or stand for long periods, improve physical resistance through exercise to reduce the occurrence of diseases. Physical exercise benefits blood circulation, harmonizes the flow of qi and blood in the body, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, improves pelvic congestion, prevents constipation, and can prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids. With a healthy body as a foundation, it is necessary to perform massages to improve local blood circulation in the anal area. Anal lifting exercises are an effective and simple method: relax your whole body, tighten your buttocks and thighs, inhale while using your mind to lift the anus upward, hold your breath briefly before exhaling. Repeat this 30 times, once in the morning and once in the evening. This is an internal massage method that can resolve blood stasis, exercise the anal sphincter, and boost middle Qi. Regularly performing anal lifting exercises can improve the return flow of the hemorrhoidal veins, playing a role in preventing and treating hemorrhoids.
2. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods, and ensure normal blood circulation by changing positions.
Experts from Nanchang Hemorrhoid Treatment Hospital say that prolonged sitting leads to poor blood circulation, and prolonged walking results in chaotic blood flow. Blood stagnation in the anus can cause hemorrhoids. Long-term immobility, especially sitting on soft seats for extended periods, slows down the speed of abdominal blood flow, hinders blood circulation, prevents the return of blood from the lower limbs, obstructs blood circulation, and makes the rectal venous plexus prone to varicosities, leading to blood stasis and forming venous masses, which are hemorrhoids. Therefore, those who need to sit still for long periods at work should get up and walk around every hour.
Prolonged standing also affects venous return, causing slow blood flow in the pelvis and congestion in the intra-abdominal organs, resulting in excessive filling of the hemorrhoidal veins, decreased venous wall tension, and easy blood stasis and vessel dilation. Another view suggests that there is a thin anal cushion near the human anus. Under normal circumstances, the anal cushion maintains elasticity through fibrous tissue. However, with age, under the influence of gravity, the suspensory ligament at the anal cushion becomes loose, the anal cushion becomes congested, thus forming hemorrhoids. People who stand for long periods experience greater effects of gravity on the anal cushion, making them more susceptible to hemorrhoids. Therefore, people who need to sit or stand for long periods should pay attention to appropriately changing positions to ensure normal blood circulation.
3. Develop good living habits, prevent constipation, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
Experts from the best hospital for hemorrhoid treatment in Nanchang say that diarrhea and constipation are important causes of hemorrhoids. Normal individuals defecate once a day at varying times, excreting soft stools that are neither dry nor loose, without difficulty during defecation, and feel relaxed and comfortable afterward, indicating good gastrointestinal function. Once constipation occurs, the stool becomes hard and difficult to pass, leading to the accumulation of feces in the intestines, increased intravascular pressure in the anus and rectum, obstructed blood flow, and venous varicosities, which then become hemorrhoids.
Therefore, experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital hope everyone develops good bowel habits. Healthy individuals should drink a large glass of warm water after getting up in the morning, stimulating gastrointestinal movement. After walking around indoors twice, defecate promptly when you feel the urge, which can prevent constipation. Of course, morning exercises like running or boxing can also prevent constipation. When you feel the urge to defecate, don't hold it in, as holding it for too long can form habitual constipation. During defecation, concentrate fully and avoid reading, watching newspapers, or listening to music, which can distract your attention, increase defecation time, and easily cause blood stasis in the anus and rectum, leading to disease. Ensure cleanliness around the anus in daily life. Feces contain bacteria, so wipe clean with multiple layers of soft paper after defecation. Women's vaginas are adjacent to the anus, and vaginal secretions can irritate the anal skin, inducing hemorrhoids, requiring extra attention.
Reasonable dietary configuration can correct constipation and improve gastrointestinal function. Normally, eat more vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains rich in vitamins and fiber, such as celery and leeks, which are high in fiber and aid in defecation. Eat less spicy and stimulating foods like chili peppers and mustard, and avoid heavy drinking to prevent irritation during defecation.
4. Pregnant women should appropriately increase activity levels and pay attention to anal hygiene.
During pregnancy, pelvic organs are compressed, blood flow is obstructed, leading to pelvic organ congestion and blood stasis, affecting anal blood circulation, and eventually inducing hemorrhoids, which is particularly evident when the fetus position is abnormal. Therefore, pregnant women should have regular check-ups at the hospital. If the fetal position is abnormal, it should be corrected, benefiting both prenatal care and the prevention of hemorrhoids and other anal and intestinal diseases. Generally, the amount of activity decreases during pregnancy, weakening gastrointestinal function and prolonging the time feces remain in the intestines. Water absorption from the feces can cause dry stools, leading to hemorrhoids. Therefore, pregnant women should appropriately increase their activity levels, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, abstain from spicy foods, keep bowel movements smooth, and wash the anus with warm water after defecation to ensure cleanliness and improve local blood circulation.
