The saying "ten women, ten hemorrhoids" suggests that women are more likely to suffer from hemorrhoids than men. According to surveys and statistics, the probability of women suffering from hemorrhoids is over 80%, yet the treatment rate is much lower than that of men due to shyness, fear of surgery pain, or other psychological factors. The attitude of "not treating hemorrhoids" has become a radical stance among many women with hemorrhoids. Over time, as the condition worsens, internal hemorrhoids can develop into external ones, and eventually into mixed hemorrhoids. Despite this progression, many women still avoid seeking medical treatment.
For married women or those who have had sexual experiences, vaginal infections are as common as catching a cold in winter. Many believe these infections result from improper sexual practices, but in reality, hemorrhoids are one of the primary triggers for vaginitis and cervical erosion. This is because the anus is less than 3 centimeters away from the female vagina, and the secretions from the anus contain large amounts of bacteria and E. coli. The continuous reproduction and proliferation of these bacteria can directly invade the vagina, leading to rare gynecological diseases in women.
Therefore, gynecological inflammation caused by non-sexual factors, such as untreated hemorrhoids, poses one of the most fatal threats to women's health. Secretions from the rectum are waste products of digestion, composed of various foods consumed and digested. Essentially, anything the body doesn't need is considered toxic. Any substance the body doesn't require will be expelled through the rectum and urethra. When these toxic substances flow into the vagina, they can cause severe and potentially terrifying gynecological diseases. In some cases, this direct infection could even lead to uterine tumors.
Thus, it is important to warn all women that having hemorrhoids is not something embarrassing to talk about. The saying "nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids" indicates how common it is, and embarrassment is not a solution. Prioritizing health is crucial, especially since severe gynecological diseases can cause lifelong suffering. Women should not let shyness lead to a lifetime of painful consequences.
