Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital say that hemorrhoids are formed when the venous plexus under the mucosa at the end of the human rectum and around the anus and anal margin dilates and bends, forming soft vein masses. Depending on the location of the disease, they can be classified as internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, or mixed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids differ from other diseases in that they involve delicate areas and can easily cause physical and mental suffering.
Common clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids include bloody stools, 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 fatigue. In severe cases of hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoidal nucleus not only protrudes during defecation but may also protrude when coughing, squatting, or walking. The discharge of feces or mucus can stain clothing, causing anal itching, making patients uncomfortable, and significantly affecting learning, work, and life.
Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital state that although hemorrhoids are common, if people pay attention to health care in their daily lives, they can prevent or reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids. Therefore, taking preventive measures against some causes is very important. Sun Jianhua believes that there are many factors that trigger hemorrhoids.
Developing good habits is very important, mainly focusing on the following aspects:
1. Based on physical health, perform local anal exercises.
Some people do not exercise regularly, leaving many young and middle-aged adults in a sub-healthy state, which is a hidden danger. 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 engaging in outdoor activities after work, especially for office workers who need to sit or stand for long periods. Through exercise, one can enhance physical resistance and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Sports 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 the foundation, one should also perform massages to improve local anal blood circulation. Anal lifting exercises are an effective and simple method: relax your whole body, tighten your buttocks and thighs, inhale while mentally lifting the anus upward, hold your breath briefly, then exhale. Repeat this 30 times, morning and evening. This is a method of internal massage that can promote blood circulation, exercise the anal sphincter, and boost the 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, ensure normal blood circulation by changing positions.
Experts from Nanchang Hemorrhoid Treatment Hospital say that prolonged sitting hinders blood circulation, while prolonged walking leads to chaotic blood flow. Blood stagnation in the anus can lead to hemorrhoids. Prolonged sitting without movement, especially sitting on soft seats for long periods, slows down abdominal blood flow, obstructs blood circulation, prevents lower limb venous blood from returning, blocks blood circulation, and makes it easy for the rectal venous plexus to become varicose, causing blood stasis and forming venous masses, which are hemorrhoids. Therefore, those who need to sit for long periods during work should stand up and walk around every hour.
Prolonged standing also affects venous return, making pelvic blood flow slow and intra-abdominal organs congested, causing excessive filling of the hemorrhoidal veins, reducing venous wall tension, and making blood vessels prone to blood stasis and expansion. There is another theory suggesting that there is a thin anal cushion at the human anus. Under normal circumstances, the anal cushion relies on fibrous tissue to maintain elasticity, but with age, under the influence of gravity, the suspensory ligament at the anal cushion becomes loose, the anal cushion fills with blood, thus forming hemorrhoids. People who stand for long periods experience greater gravitational effects on the anal cushion, making them more prone to developing hemorrhoids. Therefore, those who need to sit or stand for long periods should change positions appropriately to ensure normal blood circulation.
3. Develop good living habits, prevent constipation, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
Experts from the best hospital in Nanchang for treating hemorrhoids say that diarrhea and constipation are both important causes of hemorrhoids. A normal person has a bowel movement once a day, at different times, excreting well-formed soft stools, neither too dry nor too watery, without difficulty during defecation, and feeling comfortable afterward, indicating good gastrointestinal function. Once constipation occurs, the stool becomes hard and difficult to pass, accumulating in the intestines, increasing the intravascular pressure in the anus and rectum, obstructing blood flow, causing venous plexus dilation, and becoming hemorrhoids.
Therefore, experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital hope everyone develops good bowel habits. Healthy people should drink a large glass of warm water after waking up in the morning, stimulating gastrointestinal movement. After walking around indoors for two rounds, defecate promptly when you feel the urge, preventing constipation. Of course, morning exercises like running or boxing can also prevent constipation. When you feel the urge to defecate, don't suppress it, as prolonged suppression can form habitual constipation. During defecation, focus entirely and avoid reading, watching newspapers, or listening to music, as these can distract attention, increase defecation time, and easily cause anal and rectal congestion, leading to disease. Maintain cleanliness around the anus, as feces contain bacteria. Wipe clean with multiple layers of soft paper after defecation. Since the female vagina is adjacent to the anus, vaginal secretions can irritate the anal skin, triggering hemorrhoids, requiring extra attention.
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 aid defecation. Eat less spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers and mustard, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption 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, causing pelvic organ congestion and blood stasis, affecting anal blood circulation, and eventually inducing hemorrhoids, especially noticeable when the fetus position is abnormal. Therefore, pregnant women should have regular hospital check-ups; if the fetus position is abnormal, it should be corrected, benefiting prenatal care and preventing anal diseases such as hemorrhoids. Generally, pregnant women's activity levels decrease, weakening gastrointestinal functions, prolonging fecal retention in the intestines, absorbing water, causing dry stools, and inducing hemorrhoids. Therefore, pregnant women should appropriately increase activity levels, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, abstaining from spicy foods, maintaining smooth bowel movements, washing the anus with warm water after defecation, ensuring cleanliness, and improving local blood circulation.
