Excessive bleeding from internal hemorrhoids can lead to symptoms of dizziness. Bleeding is one of the main clinical manifestations of internal hemorrhoids. The amount of bleeding can vary, and the color of the blood is typically bright red. If there is a large amount of bleeding, lasts for a long time, or occurs frequently, and it exceeds the body's ability to produce new blood, it can lead to systemic anemia. Prolonged conditions can result in severe anemia, which may cause dizziness.

What should I do if internal hemorrhoids are bleeding?

The main symptoms of internal hemorrhoids are bleeding and protrusion, where the hemorrhoidal tissue prolapses outside the anus. There are several types of bleeding: the first is dripping blood during defecation, where blood drops steadily. Another type is spraying blood, similar to the way a syringe ejects fluid; these are all categorized under rectal bleeding. For internal hemorrhoids, the presence of either bleeding or prolapse outside the anus indicates a need for surgical treatment. This means that if internal hemorrhoids cause spraying blood, surgical treatment is required (i.e., removing the hemorrhoidal tissue), which can improve the bleeding and spraying issues.

How many days will it take for internal hemorrhoids to heal after prolapse?

If a patient exhibits prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, it is first recommended that a professional proctologist reposition the prolapsed hemorrhoids. If prolapse continues to recur after repositioning, the likelihood of spontaneous recovery is low, and the patient will likely need further surgical treatment. Prolapse is a common clinical symptom of hemorrhoids. If it is a simple prolapse that can retract spontaneously, symptoms can be relieved within 3 to 5 days after medication treatment. However, if the prolapse requires manual repositioning by the patient, or if it recurs repeatedly, surgical removal is necessary. Recovery from the surgery typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks.

The Difference between Mixed Hemorrhoids and Internal Hemorrhoids

Mixed hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids are both clinical types of hemorrhoids. Generally speaking, mixed hemorrhoids mainly occur simultaneously with both internal and external hemorrhoids, while internal hemorrhoids are mainly local mucosal bulges near the dentate line in the anal canal. Both mixed and internal hemorrhoids belong to hemorrhoids, so there are many similarities in treatment. However, since mixed hemorrhoids generally involve both internal and external hemorrhoids acting together, they are generally more severe than internal hemorrhoids alone. Treatment for both mixed and internal hemorrhoids can involve conservative medication, primarily focusing on topical applications; for mixed hemorrhoids, local anal suppositories and hemorrhoidal ointment applications are commonly used, while treatment for internal hemorrhoids primarily involves hemorrhoidal suppositories. If both mixed and internal hemorrhoids meet certain surgical criteria, surgical treatment can be chosen. The surgical approach for mixed hemorrhoids mainly includes excision and ligation, while the surgical approach for internal hemorrhoids mainly involves hemorrhoid ligation or hemorrhoid banding. (Note: This answer is for reference only, use medication under the guidance of a professional physician, do not self-medicate.)

Is infusion useful for internal hemorrhoids bleeding?

Useful. Bleeding is one of the main clinical manifestations of internal hemorrhoids, and the amount of bleeding can be large or small, generally bright red in color. The treatment methods for internal hemorrhoids are divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment, and infusion can be used in both. In conservative treatment, infusion can administer hemostatic drugs to stop bleeding, or some nutritional drugs to reduce stool and protect the mucosa. For surgical patients, infusion can include antibiotics to prevent infection.

The harm of internal hemorrhoids prolapse

Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids are one of the main clinical manifestations of internal hemorrhoids, and their harm is mainly manifested in two aspects: Firstly, the prolapse of hemorrhoidal tissue outside the anus can lead to perianal skin eczema and itching, and anal eczema. Secondly, it can lead to incarcerated hemorrhoids, where the prolapsed internal hemorrhoid, held by the sphincter, forms congestion, and is accompanied by hardening of the hemorrhoidal tissue, pain, and even necrosis.
