External hemorrhoids
Will thrombotic external hemorrhoids turn cancerous?
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids are a common clinical symptom of external hemorrhoids. The pathogenesis mainly involves the formation of blood clots inside the hemorrhoidal node, which is primarily due to local circulatory disturbances within the hemorrhoidal node. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids do not have the potential to become cancerous. If thrombosed external hemorrhoids are not treated promptly, it may lead to increased pain or significant swelling of the thrombosed external hemorrhoids. In severe cases, it can cause the hemorrhoids to become trapped at the anal opening, unable to retract, or lead to necrosis due to cut-off local blood supply. Therefore, it is crucial to treat thrombosed external hemorrhoids as early as possible.
Is a mixed hemorrhoidal thrombosis external hemorrhoid serious?
When thrombotic external hemorrhoids are combined with mixed hemorrhoids, the situation is generally not severe. However, if it is in the acute phase, it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. During the acute phase of thrombotic external hemorrhoids, there is severe pain in the local area of the anus, accompanied by swelling. The patient feels restless and the pain is unbearable, and thrombectomy surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible. If mixed hemorrhoids with thrombosis do not affect the patient's life, methods such as using anal plugs, hemorrhoid suppositories, or applying hemorrhoid cream to the anus can be used. Additionally, attention should be paid to not strain too much during bowel movements, as excessive straining can cause more severe congestion and swelling in the hemorrhoidal nucleus in the local area of the anus, thereby aggravating the condition of thrombotic external hemorrhoids.
Can thrombotic external hemorrhoids be lanced?
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids, as the most common clinical symptom of external hemorrhoids, exhibit significant local pain during acute attacks and are accompanied by a feeling of constriction. If during an acute attack, dark red hemorrhoidal prolapse occurs around the anal area and cannot be absorbed or retracted, a professional doctor can use specialized techniques to crush the local hemorrhoid node or surgically excise it. However, it is not advisable for patients to burst it themselves because if done without proper sterilization and hygiene, it can easily lead to local infection, thereby exacerbating the condition or complicating future surgical treatments. Therefore, if thrombosed external hemorrhoids are detected, it is crucial to seek prompt and active treatment at a hospital.
