Be alert to the symptoms of mixed hemorrhoids!

Hemorrhoids are usually divided into three types. Mixed hemorrhoids are the most serious. Patients with mixed hemorrhoids often experience not only bloody stools when going to the toilet, but may also suffer ruptured blood vessels and spurting bleeding. Simple pain is no longer one of the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Most patients may also experience bloating and a feeling of heaviness, which is very harmful.

Five symptoms of mixed hemorrhoids

1. Blood in stool: It is mostly caused by feces abrading the mucous membrane or forceful defecation causing dilation and rupture of blood vessels.

2. Hemorrhoid prolapse: Due to the enlargement of hemorrhoids in the late stage, they gradually separate from the muscle layer and are pushed out of the anus during defecation. In mild cases, the anus can return to normal by itself after defecation, but in severe cases, manual intervention is required. In even more serious cases, the anus will protrude out of the anus with just a little abdominal pressure and is difficult to return to normal.

3. Pain: Simple internal hemorrhoids are painless, and a few may have a feeling of heaviness and distension. When internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids prolapse and become incarcerated, and edema, infection, and necrosis occur, there will be varying degrees of pain.

4. Itching: In late-stage internal hemorrhoids, prolapsed hemorrhoids and relaxation of the anal sphincter, secretions often flow out. Due to the irritation of the secretions, there is often itching and discomfort around the anus, and even skin eczema may occur, which makes the patient extremely uncomfortable.

5. Mucus overflow: The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing inflammatory exudation and increased secretions. When the anal sphincter relaxes, it can flow out at any time, causing the anal skin to be frequently irritated and cause eczema and itching.
