Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital pointed out that hemorrhoids are a common and frequently-occurring disease. As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids." According to surveys conducted in some regions of our country, the incidence rate reaches 60%. China is the country that recognized hemorrhoids earliest.
Hemorrhoids are a disease that grows on the anus, the human excretory outlet. Its growth and development are closely related to people's living habits, working and studying environment, walking fatigue, diet, and sleep.
The dentate line is located at the junction of the anal canal skin and the rectal mucosa, which serves as the basis for classification. There are various methods for classifying, typing, and staging hemorrhoids. Clinically, they are generally classified into three types according to their location: Hemorrhoids above the dentate line are called internal hemorrhoids; those below the dentate line are called external hemorrhoids; those both above and below the dentate line and connected together are called mixed hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidal masses located inside the anus mucosa are called internal hemorrhoids, those near the inside of the anal opening are called external hemorrhoids, and those with both are called mixed hemorrhoids. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include pain in the affected area, bleeding during defecation, and in severe cases, protrusion (prolapse) of the hemorrhoidal mass outside the anus, which retracts after defecation.
According to the symptoms of hemorrhoids and the degree of harm to human health, internal hemorrhoids can be divided into four stages:
Stage I: Painless, mainly characterized by bleeding, excessive secretions, and itching.
Stage II: Bleeding occurs, and the hemorrhoid prolapses during defecation but can spontaneously retract.
Stage III (also known as late-stage): The internal hemorrhoid prolapses outside the anal opening or prolapses outside the anal opening with each defecation and cannot spontaneously retract; it must be manually pushed back.
Stage IV: The internal hemorrhoid prolapses outside the anus and cannot be retracted back inside. This is the most severe condition of internal hemorrhoids.
External hemorrhoids are mainly characterized by swellings around the anus and can be divided into the following types:
(1) Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: The main characteristics include sudden onset, severe pain, obvious feeling of heaviness, and occasionally systemic symptoms. Local examination reveals a swollen mass around the anus, which can be felt as a hard and smooth subcutaneous lump with significant tenderness.
(2) Inflammatory external hemorrhoids: Often caused by damage and infection of the perianal skin, commonly accompanied by anal pain, which worsens during defecation, blood in the stool, and a small amount of secretion around the anus. Local examination shows a swollen mass around the anus, redness, obvious congestion, tenderness, and sometimes systemic discomfort and fever.
(3) Varicose external hemorrhoids: The anus margin swells into an oval shape, soft to the touch, painless, and appears dark purple during straining. After defecation or rest, the swelling decreases. It is caused by varicosities under the skin and also develops from late-stage internal hemorrhoids. Generally, there is only a feeling of swelling and discomfort, which worsens during defecation, and inflammation causes pain.
(4) Connective tissue external hemorrhoids or skin tag external hemorrhoids: The skin folds around the anus enlarge, connective tissue proliferates, forming many skin tags of varying sizes and shapes.
Hemorrhoids with both internal and external components are called mixed hemorrhoids.
