Adults always have some unspeakable secrets, and the most reluctant to say the disease, hemorrhoids are definitely among them.
Regardless of men and women, young and old, butts, this hidden corner that has always been hard-working and never complained, if it suddenly hurts, it will really make people frightened and embarrassed.
It is also because of embarrassment that hemorrhoids have become the "most familiar and unfamiliar disease" for people.
Either do not know that they have hemorrhoids, or after knowing that they are ashamed to see a doctor, they plan to buy some medicine to apply self-healing, they really can't delay, but also quietly take a leave to go to the hospital.
Hemorrhoids, this ordinary anorectal disease, were forced into a mysterious "urban legend".
In China, where people are most likely to get hemorrhoids
Regarding hemorrhoids, the most widely circulated folk saying is "ten people and nine hemorrhoids", as if most Chinese can not escape this fate.
But the reality is far from being so exaggerated.
According to an epidemiological survey of common anorectal diseases in Adults in China since 2013, the total prevalence of anorectal diseases in Chinese is 50.10%, of which hemorrhoids are basically hemorrhoids.
In addition, such sayings as "ten men and nine hemorrhoids" and "ten women and ten hemorrhoids" are actually not very reliable.
According to the data of the Epidemiological Survey of Common Anorectal Diseases in Adults in China, the prevalence of anorectal diseases in Male and Female Chinese was 50.04% and 50.17%, respectively, and the prevalence difference was not statistically significant.
That is to say, in the matter of hemorrhoids, the probability of men and women is similar.
In addition, there is no too significant difference between young and old. From 25 to 64 years of age, the prevalence of anorectal disease was stable at around 50% in each age group.
Although the prevalence of anorectal diseases is similar in men and women, the prevalence gap between Chinese in different regions can be large.
From the national point of view, the highest prevalence of hemorrhoids in adults is actually Hunan, with 76.64% of the respondents having hemorrhoids. The lowest is in Shandong, where the prevalence is only 27.07%.
Everyone knows that Hunan people are good at eating spicy, but surprisingly, Guangdong, which is not good at eating spicy, ranks second with a prevalence rate of 67.42%, and even Zhejiang is much higher than Sichuan and Chongqing.
Don't they all say that "eating more spicy is easy to get hemorrhoids", is it not related to hemorrhoids and eating spicy?
A lot of people get hemorrhoids, which has something to do with eating
In fact, the cause of hemorrhoids is not completely clear, and it is believed that the change of the upright walking position of human beings is the root cause of the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Many other factors, including eating, can worsen hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids, simply put, are moths out of a person's pad. pad is a circular vascular pad under the mucous membrane of the canal whose function is to control the opening and closing of the anus.
As the gatekeeper of chrysanthemums, the gravity of the upright position places a great burden on the pad. If you frequently encounter such situations as pulling the soup during constipation, you may have injuries such as distortion and relaxation due to excessive burden; similarly, diarrhea, which is a continuous squatting in the toilet, will also make the pad frequently stimulated. These are easy to lead to the appearance of hemorrhoids.
Although eating spicy does not directly cause hemorrhoids, the direct stimulation of spicy on the anus, and the diarrhea after eating spicy, can make Chrysanthemum shout: "Run, here is too bad!" 」 It will make you more impressed with hemorrhoids.
Of course, in addition to eating spicy, vegetables and water intake is too small, meat eating too much such is not conducive to digestion of eating habits, because it is easy to cause constipation, the impact on hemorrhoids is also obvious.
Although the nutritional value of meat is relatively high, especially rich in protein and various vitamins, as well as rich in mineral content, the data of the Epidemiological Survey of Common Anorectal Diseases in Chinese Adults shows that no matter which kind of meat and its products, if it is consumed in large quantities and frequently, it will significantly increase the prevalence of anorectal diseases.
In particular, the daily intake of beef, mutton and aquatic products increased by the highest prevalence of anorectal disease by 14.5% compared with those who did not consume it at all.
But in any case, eating is only a predisposing factor for hemorrhoids at best. Many people have counted chrysanthemum injuries on peppers and meat, which is indeed a bit wronged. The key to influencing us to get hemorrhoids is not to eat this thing.
These behaviors keep you tempted on the brink of hemorrhoids
It should be known that in addition to the "disease entering from the mouth", various behaviors that directly put pressure on the anus such as standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, and squatting for a long time are an important factor affecting the incidence of anorectal diseases.
According to the "Epidemiological Survey of Common Anorectal Diseases in Adults in China", the prevalence of anorectal disease in people who maintained poor posture (such as standing for a long time) for more than 4 hours was 56.67%, while the proportion of people who maintained a poor posture for less than 1 hour was only 44.95%, and the prevalence of the former was 11.72% higher than that of the latter.
Occupationally, it is necessary to maintain a standing or sitting position for a long time every day, and the prevalence of drivers, teachers and other people who cannot move frequently is much higher than the normal per capita value.
The overtime and sedentary work model destroys not only your life, but also your fragile health.
In addition, the various bad defecation habits of modern people without a teacher are further destroying the anus that has been overwhelmed.
Mobile phones make modern people more boring when they go to the toilet, and paid has thus become the happiest way for people in the workplace to touch fish, but the 30-minute squat pit time will really make your anus shout daddy and scold.
According to the "Epidemiological Survey of Common Anorectal Diseases in Adults in China", the defecation time exceeded 30 minutes, and the prevalence of anorectal disease increased by nearly 20% compared with the normal level to 68.52%. If the bowel time can be controlled within 5 minutes, this figure will fall back to 44.41%.
Playing with your phone less when you go to the toilet is really good for your anus.
In addition to prolonged time, poor bowel habits include excessive defecation and neglect or deliberate inhibition of defecation. You are desperate on the toilet, very hard, and may be a little sinister, and finally after the whole body is comfortable, the anorectal disease may come to the door.
Changing these bad habits can drastically reduce the likelihood of developing anorectal disease, up to nearly 30%.
Hemorrhoids are getting worse, how painful it really is
Although people who have never had hemorrhoids can imagine how sick this disease is, most people still don't know how deep the hemorrhoids are serious and can hurt us.
One need only look at the tearful advice and crying of the "hemorrhoidal man" to understand.
Among the stories of more than 3,000 "hemorrhoids" of different ages and genders who have stayed on zhihu, you can see all kinds of stories mixed with fear, sadness and tension. Among them, the most prominent emotion is pain.
According to statistics, in these more than 3,000 hemorrhoid stories, the word "pain" alone appeared 17223 times, and the heat index ranked first.
Some people are forced to finally go to the operating table helplessly, and when the lesion is removed, they understand what is the pain that life cannot bear; some people think that they can be re-treated after treatment, the wound is torn apart again and again, and they wake up, and the tribulations of life have just begun...
Obviously, he was reading the text, but he seemed to be able to hear the screams and cries in the proctology ward. How many hemorrhoids patients in the world have delayed their illness because of embarrassment and shame, and how many people in the proctology bed are remorseful and self-blamed.
In addition to developing good living and eating habits, the "people with hemorrhoids" who have suffered from pain and suffering, the most admonished on social media is that when hemorrhoids first appear, don't ignore them, after the problems are more serious, it is really going to be "fidgety".
Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this. In the epidemiological survey of common anorectal diseases in adults in China, 34,552 of the 68,906 urban and rural residents surveyed suffered from anorectal diseases, but less than half of them realized that they had hemorrhoids.
But even after realizing that they have hemorrhoids, a quarter of people still choose not to do anything, allowing the degree of hemorrhoid lesions to develop to the point where they may have to use a knife, and the main reason is that they feel that they are "not a big problem at present".
The temper of hemorrhoids is really elusive. Maybe you were singing happily the night before, brushing the red oil hot pot, and the next day you were so painful that you couldn't walk. How many people have hemorrhoid symptoms, they have experienced the recurrence of cure, recurrence and then cure, and finally have to "cut forever".
Therefore, if you have not yet had hemorrhoids, remember not to take your mobile phone to the toilet again, avoid sitting, standing for a long time, squatting for a long time, eat a reasonable diet, keep your stool smooth, inconvenient and secretive diarrhea. It may be too late to think about the pain when the stomach is sore.
