Hemorrhoids symptoms

Symptom 1. Bleeding in the stool: Painless, intermittent bright red blood after defecation is characterized by internal hemorrhoids or Common early symptoms of mixed hemorrhoids. Bleeding usually occurs before or after defecation. There may be pure blood in the stool, or it may be mixed with the stool. The blood is bright red, and the bleeding appears in the form of sprays, drops, and blood on wiping.

Symptom 2. Pain in defecation: bleeding and perianal pain during defecation. Because the perianal nervous system is relatively developed and sensitive, pain can easily occur after being stimulated. It generally manifests as mild pain, stinging, burning, distending pain, etc.

Symptom 3. Rectal pain: Anorectal pain is mainly a symptom of external hemorrhoids. If internal hemorrhoids become infected, become incarcerated, or develop strangulating necrosis, they can cause severe falling pain. In mild cases, there will be a feeling of fullness and falling, while in severe cases, there will be pain of falling.

Symptom 4. Prolapse of mass: Prolapse of mass appears inside the anus, which is mainly a symptom of internal hemorrhoids in the middle and late stages. As the internal hemorrhoid core continues to grow, the mucosa and submucosa are separated from the anal layer. During defecation, the internal hemorrhoid nodule can drop below the dentate line, become free outside the anal canal, and prolapse through the anus. In mild cases, it will only prolapse outside the anus when defecating. In severe cases, it can prolapse when coughing, pressing the abdomen, or squatting hard.

Symptom 5. Discharge: discharge from the anus. It mainly overflows from the fistula, but can also be discharged from the anus or from the skin around the anus. The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing an increase in secretions; in advanced internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to the relaxation of the anal sphincter. In mild cases, it will flow out during defecation, while in severe cases, it will flow out naturally even when not defecating.

Symptom 6. Anal itching: bleeding and itching of the anus and perianal skin. Mainly due to the irritation of anal secretions, prolapsed hemorrhoids and surrounding skin, the skin is moist all day long, resulting in itching, leading to the occurrence of eczema and itching.

Focus on the cause, and at the same time, this is also the key to preventing hemorrhoids and preventing recurrence.
