Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital say that hemorrhoids are formed by the dilation and distortion of the venous plexus beneath the mucosa at the end of the human rectum, around the anus and under the anal edge skin, forming soft venous masses. According to their different locations, they can be divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids differ from other diseases in that they are embarrassing to talk about and can 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 constant urge to defecate. More severe cases may lead to anemia, weight loss, dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue. In severe cases of hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoidal nuclei not only protrude during bowel movements but also when coughing, squatting, or walking. The discharge of feces or mucus can soil clothing, causing anal itching, making patients restless, and seriously affecting learning, work, and life.
Experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital indicate 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 against some causes is very important. Sun Jianhua believes that there are many factors that can trigger hemorrhoids.
Developing good habits is crucial, focusing on the following aspects:
1. Based on physical health, perform local anal exercises.
Nowadays, some people do not pay attention to exercise, 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, 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, enhancing physical resistance through exercise reduces the occurrence of diseases. Physical 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 formation of hemorrhoids.
With a healthy body as the foundation, massage to improve local anal blood circulation is also necessary. Anal lifting exercise is 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 each time. This is an internal massage method that can transform stagnant blood, exercise the anal sphincter, and enhance the central qi. Regularly performing anal lifting exercises can improve the return flow of hemorrhoidal veins and play a role in preventing and treating hemorrhoids.
2. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods; change positions to ensure normal blood circulation.
Experts from Nanchang Hemorrhoid Treatment Hospital say that prolonged sitting leads to poor blood circulation, and prolonged walking results in chaotic qi and blood flow. Stagnant blood flows to the anus and generates hemorrhoidal diseases. Long-term immobility, especially sitting on soft seats for long periods, slows down the abdominal blood flow speed, obstructs blood circulation, prevents venous blood from returning to the lower limbs, impedes blood circulation, and makes it easy for the rectal venous plexus to dilate, leading to blood stagnation and forming venous masses, which are hemorrhoids. Therefore, those who need to sit still for long periods at work should get up and walk around every hour.
Prolonged standing also affects venous return, making pelvic blood flow slow and abdominal organs congested, causing excessive filling of the hemorrhoidal veins, decreasing venous wall tension, and expanding blood vessels prone to blood stasis. Another theory suggests that there is a thin anal cushion at the human anus, which normally relies on fibrous tissue to maintain elasticity. However, with age, under the influence of gravity, the suspensory ligament at the anal cushion becomes lax, the anal cushion fills with blood, thereby forming hemorrhoids. People who stand for long periods experience greater gravitational effects on the anal cushion, making them more prone to bleeding and inducing hemorrhoids. Therefore, those who need to sit or stand for long periods should appropriately change their posture to ensure normal blood circulation.
3. Develop good living habits, prevent constipation, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
Experts from Nanchang's best hemorrhoid treatment hospital say that diarrhea and constipation are important causes of hemorrhoids. A normal person has one bowel movement per day, at varying times, excreting well-formed soft stools that are neither too dry nor too loose. Bowel movements are not difficult, and one feels relaxed and comfortable afterward, indicating good gastrointestinal function. Once constipation occurs, the stool becomes hard, difficult to excrete, and accumulates in the intestines. Increased pressure within the anal and rectal vessels hinders blood flow, causing the venous plexus to dilate, thus forming hemorrhoids.
Therefore, experts from Nanchang Dongda Anorectal Hospital hope everyone develops good bowel habits. Healthy individuals should drink a large glass of warm water upon waking up in the morning to stimulate gastrointestinal movement. After walking a few laps indoors and feeling the urge to defecate, promptly go to the bathroom to prevent constipation. Of course, engaging in morning exercises like jogging or boxing can also prevent constipation. Do not suppress the urge to defecate as it may lead to habitual constipation over time. When defecating, focus entirely and avoid reading, watching newspapers, or listening to music, as these distractions increase defecation time and can easily cause blood stasis in the anus and rectum, leading to disease. Ensure cleanliness around the anus regularly, as feces contain bacteria, and wiping clean with multiple layers of soft paper after defecation is necessary. Women's vaginas are adjacent to the anus, and 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 are high in fiber and aid in defecation. Reduce consumption of spicy and stimulating foods like chili peppers and mustard, avoid excessive alcohol intake, to 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 blood stasis, affecting anal blood circulation, ultimately inducing hemorrhoids, particularly evident when the fetus position is abnormal. Therefore, pregnant women should regularly visit the hospital for check-ups and correct any abnormal fetal positions, which is beneficial for prenatal care and helps prevent anal diseases like hemorrhoids. Generally, the activity level of pregnant women decreases during pregnancy, weakening gastrointestinal function, prolonging fecal retention in the intestines, absorbing water from the feces, leading to dry stools, and inducing hemorrhoids. Therefore, pregnant women should appropriately increase their activity levels, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, abstain from eating spicy foods, maintain smooth bowel movements, and use warm water to wash the anus after defecation to ensure cleanliness and improve local blood circulation.
