Female hemorrhoids pictures

In fact, many people feel uncomfortable talking about "hemorrhoids", especially women. In fact, the prevalence of hemorrhoids is very high. There is a saying among the folks that "nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids, and ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids". In fact, of course, not every woman will suffer from hemorrhoids, but according to statistical data, the probability of women suffering from hemorrhoids is more than 80%, which is much higher than that of men. What is the reason for this?

1. Differences in physiological structure: Compared with men, women have a uterus in their pelvis, which squeezes the duodenum and causes it to tilt backwards. Therefore, physiologically speaking, women's bowel movements are slower, making them more prone to constipation and more susceptible to hemorrhoids.

2. Menstruation: The woman's vagina is close to the anus. The monthly menstruation and normal female secretions will irritate the skin around the anus, which may cause connective tissue hyperplasia and produce hemorrhoids. In addition, because women are prone to constipation due to excessive blood loss during menstruation, increased anal pressure can easily cause hemorrhoids.

3. Pregnancy and childbirth: Women's pregnancy and confinement period are also the high-incidence period of hemorrhoids. When women are pregnant, as the fetus gradually grows, the duodenum may be further compressed, making constipation more serious, and the venous blood flow back to the duodenum anus is obstructed, making the original hemorrhoids more serious. In addition, women are also prone to hemorrhoids due to long-term sitting and lying during the confinement period, which hinders blood circulation.

4. Psychological barriers: Many women feel that suffering from hemorrhoids is a very embarrassing thing. Due to psychological factors, they do not seek treatment and do not have the awareness to change their lifestyle, which delays the disease to a certain extent and causes the recurrence and aggravation of hemorrhoids.

What should women do if they suffer from hemorrhoids?

The most obvious symptoms of hemorrhoids are blood in the stool, distending pain in the anus, and possible lumps and prolapses. Some internal hemorrhoids have no obvious symptoms at the beginning, and sometimes the anus feels like falling, which is not discovered until a routine physical examination. The treatment of hemorrhoids is still dominated by conservative treatment, mostly from the following aspects:

1. Changes in lifestyle habits: Pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness around the anus, develop the habit of regular bowel movements, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and do more anal exercises to improve blood circulation.

2. Changes in diet structure: Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, maintain a scientific and standardized diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent aggravating constipation.

3. Medication treatment: If the symptoms are more obvious, you can take a bath and apply topical medication under the guidance of a doctor. However, some plasters may contain hormone ingredients and cannot be used for a long time.

For long-term hemorrhoids that cannot be cured, doctors may later recommend surgical treatment. In addition, the recurrence of hemorrhoids after surgery is also relatively high. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing constipation and maintain a stable lifestyle. When hemorrhoids are discovered in the early stages, they should take the initiative to improve the condition.
