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 have hemorrhoids." According to surveys conducted in some areas 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, which is the human excretory outlet. Its growth and development are closely related to people's living habits, work and study environments, walking fatigue, diet, and sleep.
The dentate line is located at the junction of the anal canal skin and the rectal mucosa, and it is the basis for classification. There are various methods for classifying, typing, and staging hemorrhoids. Clinically, they are generally classified into three types based on 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 that are interconnected are called mixed hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidal nuclei located inside the anal 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. The symptoms of hemorrhoids include pain in the affected area, bleeding during defecation, and in severe cases, the hemorrhoidal mass protrudes outside the anus (prolapse) and only returns after defecation.
Based on the symptoms of hemorrhoids and their degree of harm to human health, internal hemorrhoids can be divided into four stages:
Stage I: No pain, mainly characterized by bleeding, excessive secretions, and itching.
Stage II: Bleeding occurs, the hemorrhoid prolapses during defecation but can spontaneously reduce.
Stage III (also known as the late stage): Internal hemorrhoids prolapse outside the anal opening or prolapse every time during defecation, cannot spontaneously reduce, and must be manually pushed back.
Stage IV: Internal hemorrhoids prolapse outside the anus and cannot be reduced back inside. This is the most severe condition of internal hemorrhoids.
External hemorrhoids are mainly characterized by swollen masses around the anus and can be divided into the following types:
(1) Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: The main characteristics are sudden onset, severe pain, obvious feeling of heaviness and discomfort, and occasionally systemic symptoms. Local examination reveals a swollen mass beside the anus, which feels hard and smooth under the skin, with obvious tenderness.
(2) Inflammatory external hemorrhoids: Often caused by damage and infection of the perianal skin, there is anal pain, which worsens during defecation, blood in the stool, and a small amount of secretion from the anus. Local examination reveals a swollen mass beside the anus, red in color, significantly congested, tender to touch, sometimes accompanied by systemic discomfort and fever.
(3) Varicose external hemorrhoids: The anus edge swells into an elliptical shape, soft to touch, not painful, visible dark purple swelling when straining during defecation, and the size reduces after defecation or rest. It is caused by subcutaneous varicose veins and also results from late-stage internal hemorrhoids. Generally, there is only a feeling of swelling and discomfort, which worsens during defecation, and pain occurs only when inflamed.
(4) Connective tissue external hemorrhoids or skin tag external hemorrhoids: The perianal skin folds enlarge, connective tissue proliferates, forming many irregularly sized and shaped skin tags.
