What should I do if internal hemorrhoids bleed?

Internal hemorrhoids are a very common type of hemorrhoids, and many of us have experienced the pain and discomfort it brings. If internal hemorrhoids are not treated in time, they can easily cause heavy bleeding, so all hemorrhoid patients must pay attention. If internal hemorrhoids bleed, the patient should know how to stop the bleeding appropriately, such as lying prone to rest, raising the hips, etc.

Quick way to stop bleeding from anus:

If you continue to strain during bowel movements while bleeding occurs, the bleeding will not stop. At this time, you should temporarily stop defecating and take a short rest. If the bleeding is caused by hemorrhoids, it is easy to stop. As long as you lie still, the bleeding will stop soon. When bleeding occurs, if you press the anus with a cotton ball, the bleeding will be better stopped.

When resting in a prone position, you can also place a seat cushion or backrest pad under your lower abdomen and raise your buttocks. This can stop the bleeding as soon as possible and help eliminate congestion in the anal area that causes hemorrhoids.

Beware! Hemorrhoids may mask rectal cancer

As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids, and ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that the incidence of hemorrhoids is very high. Hemorrhoids include internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids, which refer to the lumps formed by the varicose veins of the upper and lower rectum on the upper and lower sides of the dentate line (the anatomical structure at the anus). The varicose veins may rupture and bleed due to friction such as defecation, or form lumps and prolapse, causing great pain to the patient. Hemorrhoids generally do not cause serious harm to the health of the body, but the presence of hemorrhoids can easily lead to misdiagnosis of other diseases.

There are many acupoints that have a hemostatic effect on hemorrhoid bleeding. Here, I would like to introduce to you the Liangqiu acupressure method. Liangqiu is an effective acupoint for stopping bleeding and relieving pain. This point is located 2 inches above the outer upper edge of the bone. Pressing it with your thumb can quickly stop bleeding. When accompanied by pain, it can relieve the pain at the same time.

Common sense for treating internal hemorrhoid bleeding:

1. Many people suffer from hemorrhoids because of their commonness. Many hemorrhoid patients think that hemorrhoids (internal hemorrhoids) are minor diseases that can be treated or not. In fact, this view is wrong! Hemorrhoids are not a minor disease. Any disease will have a process of growing from small to large and from mild to severe. If hemorrhoids are not treated for a long time, they will also cause a series of serious complications.

2. Many patients blindly treat hemorrhoids after getting them, especially believing in some small folk remedies, thinking that taking medicine can cure hemorrhoids. However, after taking a lot of medicine, the condition often becomes worse. Experts suggest that it is unscientific to treat hemorrhoids with medication. Only surgical treatment can solve the root cause! Blindly taking medication will not only fail to treat hemorrhoids, but may also cause many side effects.

3. Many patients who have undergone hemorrhoid surgery admit that the operation was extremely painful. When many patients undergo surgery in small outpatient clinics, due to incomplete equipment and low level of physicians, most of them use traditional surgical treatments that are about to be eliminated.
