Hemorrhoidal bleeding can be treated with hemorrhoidal suppositories, which can alleviate circulatory disorders around the anus, reduce inflammation of the veins, and prevent the worsening of hemorrhoids. Additionally, if the bleeding is heavy, minimally invasive treatment or surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, eat fresh vegetables, ensure smooth bowel movements, and clean the anus after defecation to prevent infection. Active medication or other methods of treatment should be pursued.

Do hemorrhoids cause bleeding?

Hemorrhoids are a relatively common disease in surgical clinics, characterized by varicose veins. They generally occur when there is increased abdominal pressure or constipation, which can easily lead to hemorrhoids. Bleeding during defecation is the most common symptom of hemorrhoids. Not all hemorrhoids involve bleeding; it is most common in internal and mixed hemorrhoids. Minor bleeding may not require treatment, but significant bleeding may necessitate the use of topical ointments and oral hemostatics. Additionally, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women

During pregnancy, many women experience hemorrhoids due to the growing fetus increasing the size of the uterus, which in turn presses on the veins in the legs that affect the blood flow back to the heart. This pressure impacts the venous plexus around the anus, leading to the development of prolapsed tissue around the anus, pain during bowel movements, and blood in the stool, as well as changes in the nature of bowel movements. At this time, it is important to visit a hospital to assess the severity of the hemorrhoids. If the condition is not severe, changes can be made through personal habits, including drinking more water, eating fresh vegetables and fruits, and engaging in moderate exercise to promote bowel movement. If pain and bleeding are severe, it is advisable to seek surgical treatment at a hospital.

How many days of hospitalization are needed for hemorrhoid surgery?

The hospital stay for hemorrhoid surgery is generally divided into two periods: pre-operative and post-operative. The pre-operative period mainly involves pre-operative examinations, such as electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, and blood tests, which typically take about one to two days. The post-operative period mainly involves waiting for all the hemorrhoidal ligature threads to fall off, which typically takes about seven to ten days. Therefore, patients can usually be discharged about seven to ten days after surgery, making the total hospital stay approximately eight to twelve days. Thus, a normal and smooth hemorrhoid surgery generally requires a hospital stay of eight to twelve days.

How to relieve hemorrhoids in pregnant women

During pregnancy, due to the enlargement of the uterus, pressure on the pelvic cavity can hinder the return flow of blood in the pelvic veins, which can lead to the occurrence of hemorrhoids in pregnant women or aggravate existing hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids in pregnant women can be alleviated through the following methods: First, pay attention to diet adjustment, eat more vegetables and dietary fibers, which can soften the stool and reduce irritation to the hemorrhoids. Also, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating food, as it can stimulate hemorrhoids and cause bleeding. Second, if the hemorrhoids are quite severe, local hot compresses can be applied to promote local blood flow and relieve pain. Third, if the hemorrhoids are indeed severe, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment during pregnancy. The local use of traditional Chinese medicine during pregnancy will not affect the fetus.
