Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital said that hemorrhoids are formed by the expansion and distortion of veins in the lower rectum mucosa, anus canal, and skin around the anus, forming soft venous masses. Depending on the location of the disease, they can be classified as internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids differ from other diseases; bloody stool is an embarrassing condition that can easily cause physical and mental suffering.
Common clinical manifestations 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. In more severe cases, anemia and weight loss may occur, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, and weakness. Severe hemorrhoids can result in the prolapse of hemorrhoidal nuclei not only during bowel movements but also when coughing, squatting, or walking. The discharge of feces or mucus can stain clothing, causing anal itching, making patients restless and seriously affecting their learning, work, and life.
Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital stated 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 trigger hemorrhoids.
Developing good habits is crucial. Mainly focus on the following aspects:
1. Based on physical health, perform local anal exercises.
Nowadays, some people do not pay attention to exercising regularly, and many young and middle-aged adults are in a sub-healthy state, which is a hidden danger because hypertension, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, abdominal tumors, etc., can easily induce hemorrhoids. Therefore, one should participate more in sports activities, such as doing radio calisthenics during work breaks, and participating in outdoor activities after work. Especially for those who need to sit or stand for long periods, exercise can enhance physical resistance and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Physical exercise benefits blood circulation, harmonizes the body's qi and blood flow, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, improves pelvic congestion, prevents constipation, and can prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
With a healthy body as a foundation, it is also necessary to massage to improve the local blood circulation of the anus. Pelvic floor 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, morning and evening. This is a method of internal massage that can promote blood circulation, exercise the anal sphincter muscles, and boost middle energy. Regular pelvic floor exercises can improve the return of hemorrhoid veins and play a role in preventing and treating hemorrhoids.
2. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods and ensure normal blood circulation through changing positions.
Experts from Nanchang Hemorrhoid Treatment Hospital stated that prolonged sitting leads to poor blood circulation, while prolonged walking leads to disordered blood circulation. Stagnant blood flows into the anus and generates hemorrhoids. Prolonged sitting without movement, especially sitting on soft seats for long periods, slows down the blood flow in the abdomen, hinders blood circulation, prevents the return of blood from the lower limbs, blocks blood circulation, and makes it easy for the venous plexus of the rectum to become distended, leading to blood stasis and the formation of venous masses, which are hemorrhoids. Therefore, people who need to sit 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 of intra-abdominal organs, resulting in excessive filling of the hemorrhoidal veins, decreased venous wall tension, and vascular stasis and expansion. Another theory suggests that there is a thin anal cushion at the human anus that relies on fibrous tissue to maintain elasticity under normal conditions. However, with age, due to the force of gravity, the suspensory ligament at the anal cushion becomes lax, and the anal cushion becomes congested, thus forming hemorrhoids. People who stand for long periods experience a greater impact of gravity on the anal cushion, making them more prone to develop hemorrhoids. Therefore, people who need to sit or stand for long periods should appropriately change their positions to ensure normal blood circulation.
3. Develop good living habits, prevent constipation, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
Experts from the best hemorrhoid treatment hospital in Nanchang say that diarrhea and constipation are important causes of hemorrhoids. Normal people have a bowel movement once a day, at different times, excreting well-formed soft stools that are neither dry nor loose, without difficulty during defecation, and feeling relaxed and comfortable after defecation, indicating good gastrointestinal function. Once constipation occurs, hard stools accumulate in the intestines, increasing the intravascular pressure in the anus and rectum, obstructing blood flow, and causing venous plexus distention, which then forms hemorrhoids.
Therefore, experts from Nanchang Dongda Anus and Intestine Hospital hope that everyone develops good bowel habits. Healthy people should drink a large glass of warm water after getting up in the morning, stimulating gastrointestinal movement. After walking around indoors for two rounds, if there is an urge to defecate, go to the bathroom immediately to 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 for too long, as it can lead to habitual constipation. Focus on defecation without reading books, newspapers, or listening to music, which can distract attention, increase defecation time, and easily cause anal and rectal congestion, leading to illness. Ensure cleanliness around the anus regularly, as bacteria are present in feces, and use multiple layers of soft paper to wipe clean after defecation. Since the female vagina is adjacent to the anus, vaginal secretions can irritate the anal skin and induce hemorrhoids, extra care is needed.
A reasonable diet can correct constipation and improve gastrointestinal function. Normally, consume more vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains rich in vitamins and fiber, such as celery and leeks, which are high in fiber and help with defecation. Eat less spicy and stimulating foods like chili peppers and mustard, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and prevent irritation during defecation.
4. Pregnant women should appropriately increase their activity levels and pay attention to anal hygiene.
During pregnancy, pelvic organs are compressed, blood flow is obstructed, causing pelvic organ congestion and stasis, affecting anal blood circulation, and eventually inducing hemorrhoids, particularly noticeable when the fetus is malpositioned. Therefore, pregnant women should go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If the fetus is malpositioned, it should be corrected, which not only benefits prenatal care but also helps prevent anal and intestinal diseases such as hemorrhoids. Generally, the activity level of pregnant women decreases during pregnancy, leading to weakened gastrointestinal function, longer retention of feces in the intestines, absorption of water from feces, and dry stools, which can induce hemorrhoids. Therefore, pregnant women should appropriately increase their activity levels, avoid standing or sitting for long periods, avoid eating spicy foods, maintain smooth bowel movements, and wash the anus with warm water after defecation to ensure cleanliness and improve local blood circulation.
