Why did you get hemorrhoids at a young age?

When it comes to hemorrhoids, many people subconsciously think that it is a disease that only middle-aged and elderly men suffer from. However, hemorrhoids can occur at any age. Don't think that young girls can be "spared".

Hemorrhoids are often caused by sedentary or excessive defecation. In addition, chronic constipation, obesity and great pressure from life and work may all cause hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids are also divided into internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are often found only through blood in the stool because there are few nerves and pain receptors in the rectum, which is difficult to detect. External hemorrhoids are much more obvious, which may be manifested as anal pruritus, tingling, burning sensation, swelling and other defecation difficulties.

Hemorrhoids and rectal cancer, silly can't tell?

Rectal cancer and hemorrhoids have similar onset positions and symptoms. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, rectal cancer is often misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids, which leads to patients' delay in treatment. How to distinguish hemorrhoids from rectal cancer?

1, bloody stool

This is the most obvious symptom, and many patients often choose to see a doctor only when they find blood in their stool. The bloody stool caused by hemorrhoids and rectal cancer is actually very different.

2, defecation habits

In theory, hemorrhoids will not affect patients' defecation habits. At most, some people actively choose to go to the toilet less because of hemorrhoids defecation problems, but rectal cancer will not let you "choose".
