What are the early symptoms of hemorrhoids in girls?

In life, you will find that the number of female hemorrhoid patients is significantly higher than that of male patients. There are many reasons behind this. For example, it is related to the fact that women rarely exercise in their daily lives. It is also closely related to women’s diet and lifestyle. Especially for women who are pregnant or in confinement, the probability of developing hemorrhoids is very high. So if a woman gets hemorrhoids, what symptoms will she have in the early stages?

Early symptoms of hemorrhoids in girls:

1. One of the most obvious symptoms of hemorrhoids is blood in the stool. This bleeding may be blood on toilet paper, spurt-like blood in the stool, or spotting. Sometimes there will be a layer of bright red blood on the stool. This is because the stool scratches the mucous membrane and causes blood in the stool, or it may be due to excessive force during defecation, which causes the rupture of veins, resulting in spurt-like bleeding or spotting. If hemorrhoids bleed repeatedly and frequently, it may cause anemia in the patient.

2. Another obvious symptom of hemorrhoids is the outflow of mucus. The rectal mucosa may secrete mucus due to long-term stimulation of hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids cause relaxation of the anal sphincter, mucus will flow out. At first, it may flow out during bowel movements. In severe cases, it may flow out even when there is no bowel movement, contaminating the underwear and causing great pain to the patient. When female hemorrhoids prolapse, the mucus outflow may be more serious.

3. If hemorrhoids are severe, itching will occur in the anal area, because hemorrhoids will cause mucus to be discharged, causing the skin around the anus to be in a moist environment for a long time. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, bacteria will grow and cause local itching. If the hemorrhoids prolapse, there will be more mucus, which is more likely to cause itching.

4. Severe cases of hemorrhoids may cause hemorrhoid prolapse. This is because the hemorrhoids are squeezed by feces during defecation, resulting in prolapse. In some cases, part of the hemorrhoids prolapse, in some cases, all of the hemorrhoids prolapse, and in some cases, the hemorrhoids prolapse together with the rectal mucosa. Initially, the hemorrhoids may prolapse during defecation, but as time goes on, they may prolapse even without defecation.

5. When hemorrhoids develop to the late stage, there may be a feeling of heaviness and pain. This kind of pain is often a symptom of external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids generally do not cause pain, and only when the internal hemorrhoids become inflamed will they cause pain. If the internal hemorrhoids become infected, incarcerated, or strangulated and necrotic, severe pain will occur, which is often more severe than the pain in external hemorrhoids.
