Hemorrhoids: signs and symptoms

Despite all our social freedom and emancipation, some aspects of life are still closed and not publicized. Unfortunately, this is often due to our health. What is happening to us seems "wrong", socially unacceptable, and therefore we do not dare to talk about it, letting the unknown shyness and modesty from where it comes from doing our work. So, silently suffering and suffering inhuman tortures, one day we still give up and go to the doctor. When asked why it is so late we come for help, we remain silent, head down, or we try to come up with plausible explanations. Of course, we all know that the problem is easier to fix, when it did not reach a gigantic scale, but for some reason we pull, once again relying on the good old "maybe".

The subject of this article is hemorrhoids: signs, symptoms, prevention. This unpleasant disease often becomes the basis of anecdotes, ridicule and jokes (which is at least a "folk" way to treat hemorrhoids with a cucumber growing on a bed!)! However, the victims of it are unlikely to share the humorous side of approaching that which causes wild sharp pain.

What is hemorrhoids? This disease, in which there is an expansion of the mucosa in the rectum. Characteristic features - the appearance of swollen venous nodules inside the rectum or in the region of the anus.

How is hemorrhoids manifested? What are the symptoms of this disease?

First of all (it is a question of obvious signs), these are traces of blood in the process of defecation or immediately after it. The amount of bleeding differs depending on the severity (stage) of hemorrhoids: from a few drops on toilet paper to blood streams flowing from the affected area.

The next sign is a sensation of not fully liberated intestines (this feeling is a consequence of hemorrhoidal cones formed inside). Cowarene hemorrhoids, signs of the disease can be almost invisible for a long time, and the patient does not even have to suspect that there are health problems.

Itching inside or outside the anus. The degree of itching is different: it can be both individual tingling in the anus area, and an intolerable itch, to which the burning pain often joins. Pain can accompany the act of defecation, appear during the stiffness and be felt some time later, sometimes painful sensations arise even when coughing and sneezing.

The presence of hemorrhoidal cones (knots), the size of which in severe cases can reach the size of a ball for golf. It's terrible that having such signs, we do not hurry to visit a doctor (he, by the way, receives money for work with clients, and does not do personal favor), but we suffer or worse - we sit down on cucumbers from a bed.

Frequent constipation. When internal hemorrhoidal cones become inflamed and increase, stool masses are squeezed and can not pass down, which means there is no need to urinate for defecation.

These are the main symptoms of such an unpleasant disease as hemorrhoids. Signs of it can manifest to a greater or lesser extent, such as mucous discharge from the anus. This symptom is not as common as the previous one, and is noted only in some patients, but it, nevertheless, is also worth noting.

Hemorrhoids are characterized by periods of decay and acute action. In the latter case, a person can feel pain, even sitting on a chair, visiting the toilet becomes the most horrible moments that you really want to avoid. People suffering from hemorrhoids are forced to empty the intestines, experiencing incredible pain, similar to the fact that the anus is cut with a sharp blade. Even worse, when hemorrhoids fall out, there are cases when they can be brought back into place only with the help of hands.

As a rule, elderly people, pregnant and young mothers (especially primiparas), as well as those whose stomach is malfunctioning, and people with a passive lifestyle are prone to this disease.

This is how hemorrhoids manifest themselves. Signs of the disease are known, it remains to talk about preventive measures. To do this, you need to get rid of constipation (and therefore just need to adjust the work of the intestine), do not push it hard, so as not to provoke the formation of cracks in the anus. In addition, you need at the first urge to visit the toilet, forgetting the habit of tolerating. To put an active load into your daily routine and, of course, remember the rules of hygiene. After each act of defecation, you need to wash the area of the anus with the use of means for intimate hygiene.
