What are the early symptoms of internal hemorrhoids and rectal cancer

The initial symptoms of internal hemorrhoids include blood in the stool, prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, pain, anal itching, etc. There are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stages of rectal cancer. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as blood in the stool, frequent stools, thin stools, mucous stools, anal pain, and constipation will appear. The specific analysis is as follows:

Internal hemorrhoids are usually caused by rectal varicose veins, downward movement of anal cushions, spicy diet and other reasons. During defecation, if the feces rub against the mucosa on the surface of the internal hemorrhoids or excessive defecation, it will cause the internal hemorrhoid blood vessels to rupture and bleed, causing blood in the stool. If the internal hemorrhoids are prolapsed, incarcerated, edematous or infected, it will cause symptoms of pain and anal itching. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can be treated with surgeries such as hemorrhoidectomy and stapler hemorrhoidal mucosal circular resection. Rectal cancer patients usually have no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stages. As the disease progresses, tumor invasion leads to intestinal stenosis, which can cause blood in the stool, frequent stools, and thin stools. Tumor ulcer bleeding can cause blood or mucus on the surface of the stool, or even purulent blood in the stool, accompanied by anal pain symptoms. If the tumor is too large, it may cause intestinal obstruction, leading to constipation, intestinal obstruction and other manifestations. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can be treated with surgeries such as local anal resection and posterior sacral approach local resection.

Patients should seek medical attention promptly if they experience any discomfort, complete relevant examinations under the doctor's guidance, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment after the cause of the disease is determined.
