The dangers of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, do you know these 5 dangers?

The symptoms of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids are not particularly obvious at the beginning, so people often ignore it, resulting in missing the best time to treat the disease. In the early stages of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, there will be some blood in the stool, which will not be a particularly big reaction, but if ignored for a long time, the disease will cause serious endangerment to life. Today I will explain to you the dangers of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.

1. Blood in stool: Bleeding during or after defecation, bright red in color, sometimes with a small amount of blood on the surface of the stool, or staining toilet paper red, sometimes dripping or spurting blood. Varicose veins may rupture due to feces abrading the mucosa or excessive force during defecation, which increases the pressure in the blood vessels.

Hazards: Long-term and repeated bleeding, or multiple heavy bleeding, may also cause anemia.

2. Pain: Simple internal hemorrhoids are generally painless, and sometimes only cause a feeling of heaviness in the anus or difficulty in defecation.

Hazards: If the prolapse is not repositioned in time, the pain will worsen; if incarceration occurs, there will be ulceration and necrosis, causing inflammation and edema of the anal margin, the pain will be severe.

3. Prolapse: As the volume of hemorrhoids increases, they are squeezed by feces during defecation, causing them to gradually separate from the muscle layer and prolapse out of the anus. Sometimes 1-2 hemorrhoids prolapse at the same time, and sometimes all hemorrhoids and rectal mucosa prolapse together. Initially, it can reset itself after defecation.

Hazards: For those with severe symptoms, the prolapse must be pushed back by hand or rest in bed before it can be restored. For those with more severe symptoms, in addition to prolapse during defecation, it may also occur with any exertion, walking, coughing, sneezing, squatting, etc.

4. Mucus outflow: The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing increased secretions. In the late stage of internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to relaxation of the anal sphincter.

Hazards: In mild cases, it will flow out during bowel movements; in severe cases, it will flow out naturally even when not defecating, contaminating the underwear and causing great inconvenience to the patient. When internal hemorrhoids prolapse, the discharge is greater.

5. Itching: Due to the stimulation of secretions or prolapsed hemorrhoids, the area around the anus becomes damp and unclean, causing eczema and itching. The itching is sometimes caused by the reflex action of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.
