What fruits should be eaten for thrombotic external hemorrhoids?
During the acute phase of thrombosed external hemorrhoids, patients experience varying degrees of pain in the anal region, occasionally accompanied by a feeling of bloating. Therefore, the diet should primarily consist of light, liquid, and easy-to-digest foods. If consuming fruits, it is best to eat soft, cool-natured fruits such as dragon fruit and bananas, avoiding hard or tropical fruits that may cause dry stools, which can exacerbate the symptoms of thrombosed external hemorrhoids. During the acute phase of thrombosed external hemorrhoids, in addition to dietary considerations, it is also necessary to use topical hemorrhoid cream locally or undergo surgery to excise and strip the local thrombosis for significant symptom relief, to prevent the condition from worsening, which could lead to increased thrombosis or necrosis.
Anal abscess should visit which department?
Perianal abscess is a common disease in proctology, generally involving an infection of the local anal crypts and submucosal tissues near the anus. When a perianal abscess acutely flares, it is necessary to register with the department of coloproctology and undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the abscess from expanding and leading to a systemic infection. The primary surgical treatment for perianal abscesses is a onetime radical surgery, but when there are changes resembling anal fistulas or leakage, options may also include incision, drainage, and seton procedures. After surgery, it is necessary to disinfect the local wound daily and ensure that the wound drainage is unobstructed.
Can you drink alcohol if you have internal hemorrhoids bleeding?
If a patient experiences internal hemorrhoid bleeding, it is not advisable to drink alcohol during the bleeding period. Alcohol contains excessive amounts of irritating substances. Excessive drinking can cause excessive congestion of the mucous membrane of the internal hemorrhoids, and the already ruptured mucosa may increase the likelihood of further bleeding. Therefore, drinking alcohol during internal hemorrhoid bleeding can increase the amount of bleeding and might even lead to an increase in the size of the hemorrhoids, or the formation of acute edema and thrombosis, worsening the severity of the condition. During the bleeding period of internal hemorrhoids, patients are advised to follow a light diet and may need to further combine this with oral hemostatic medications, or use hemorrhoidal suppositories and hemorrhoid creams for symptomatic hemostasis and anti-swelling treatment. (The use of medications should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)
How to treat anal fissures and constipation?
Anal fissures and constipation are generally accompanying symptoms. When the stool is dry, the patient exerts excessive force during defecation, causing the stool to tear the local anal sphincter and mucosa, resulting in an anal fissure. Prolonged and recurrent anal fissures, due to the contraction of the local anal sphincter, can make defecation difficult for patients, or, because of the severe pain during defecation, patients may avoid defecating. This leads to stool remaining in the intestinal lumen for too long, causing the stool to dry out and further inducing constipation. To treat anal fissures and constipation, it is first necessary to lubricate the stool. One can take oral medications for lubricating the intestines and easing bowel movements or use topical lubricants. Treatment can also be complemented with anal dilation therapy or surgery through endoscopic incision, and applying a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress to the local fissure.
How to check for rectal prolapse?
Rectal prolapse is generally divided into internal rectal mucosal prolapse and external prolapse, also known as rectal procidentia. If it is an internal prolapse, an anoscopy combined with defecography is required to examine the degree of laxity of the local rectal mucosa. If it is an external prolapse or rectal procidentia, the patient generally presents with a prolapsed swelling when squatting, and this can be further evaluated with a digital rectal examination to assess the local tightness of the anus. If rectal prolapse occurs, surgical treatment is recommended as it tends to be quite effective. In cases of pediatric prolapse or mild prolapse, traditional Chinese medicine enemas may be used to alleviate local symptoms.
How are thrombosed external hemorrhoids formed?
The formation of thrombosed external hemorrhoids is mainly related to local congestion pressure in the anal area and excessive filling of submucosal blood vessels, especially after the patient abstains from spicy and irritating food, excessive defecation, and excessive fatigue. This condition becomes more prominent. Once thrombosed external hemorrhoids form, they are generally accompanied by the formation of skin tags and internal hemorrhoids in the anal area, and the external hemorrhoids enclose a blood clot. When the blood clot becomes congested or swollen, the patient will experience significant pain or distension. Once thrombosed external hemorrhoids have formed, it is crucial to treat them early to avoid necrosis caused by prolonged and repeated congestion and edema. Treatment options include using local medications for hot compresses or application to alleviate symptoms, or performing surgery to excise and remove the blood clots.
How many months will it take for intestinal colic to get better?
Colic is one of the most common clinical complications in infants. The principle of its onset mainly lies in the incomplete development of intestinal function in infants within three or six months, which leads to the inability of gas to be expelled from the body normally, thus causing symptoms of localized abdominal pain due to the gas. Generally, as the child grows older and the gastrointestinal function repairs, the situation will gradually improve after three or five months. During this period, oral probiotics can be chosen to alleviate local symptoms, and parents can assist the child in performing clockwise abdominal massage to facilitate gas expulsion. Additionally, exercising by mimicking bicycle pedaling can also be helpful.
Clinical manifestations of rectal prolapse
The clinical manifestations of rectal prolapse mainly involve the contents within the anal canal, especially the prolapse of the rectal mucosa outside the anus, which is most common. Severe cases of rectal prolapse may lead to a cylindrical or conical prolapse. The common type of rectal prolapse mainly refers to rectal prolapse, but there can also be internal prolapse of the rectal mucosa. Internal prolapse of the rectal mucosa is characterized by excessive relaxation and accumulation of the rectal mucosa at the anus, causing symptoms such as a sense of blockage, downward pressure, and obstruction during bowel movements. This can be definitively diagnosed through an anal examination and defecography. Regardless of whether it is internal prolapse of the rectal mucosa or rectal prolapse, when the disease progresses to a severe degree affecting the patient's normal life, surgical treatment is recommended.
What should I do if hemorrhoids are bleeding?
Hemorrhoids that bleed should be treated to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. The common clinical symptoms of hemorrhoids mainly include localized bleeding, repeated prolapse of the internal part of the anus, and pain. Early bleeding can be managed with oral hemostatic medications, application of hemorrhoidal creams to the anal area, and use of anal plugs with thrombotic agents for comprehensive treatment, for minor bleeding. The symptoms can be relieved with medications. However, if the bleeding lasts long or if there is a greater amount of bleeding from mucous membranes and the bleeding points are fragile, further surgical ligation may be necessary to stop the bleeding. Common surgical methods mainly include excision of mixed hemorrhoids, internal ligation, or hemorrhoid banding procedure, and can also be combined with submucosal sclerotherapy injections.
Which department to consult for rectal prolapse?
Rectal prolapse is generally divided into internal mucosal prolapse and external prolapse. External mucosal prolapse is commonly known as rectal prolapse, which falls under the category of proctological diseases. Therefore, patients who suspect they have rectal prolapse should promptly visit a proctology department for relevant examinations and treatment. The examination and diagnosis of rectal prolapse mainly involve digital rectal examination, anoscopy, and defecography to confirm the diagnosis. Especially for internal mucosal prolapse, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, defecography is necessary for differentiation. In cases of rectal prolapse, one can generally see a ring-like protrusion outside the anus, and in severe cases, there may be conical or cylindrical prolapse. Regardless of whether it is internal mucosal prolapse or rectal prolapse, surgical treatment is necessary.
