Mr. Liu, the "brother" of Guangzhou in his 40s, suffered from severe hemorrhoids due to his long-term sedentary professional relationship.
He heard that hemorrhoids were to be "cut", so he bought a fruit knife, roasted it on an alcohol lamp, disinfected the wound with alcohol, and the knife fell from his hand, accompanied by pain and blood, and cut the hemorrhoids.
Afterwards, he put on anti-inflammatory drugs and took some antibiotics to carry over. In this way, the hemorrhoids were cut and cut long, long and cut, and cut six or seven times in half a year.
Until it caused severe anemia, severe edema of both legs, and symptoms of shortness of breath and dizziness after exercise, Mr. Liu told the doctor the truth.
Experts caution that doing so risks losing lives. Hemorrhoids are not difficult to treat, but improper treatment of one's own "cutting hemorrhoids" can be life-threatening.

Mr. Zhou received two injections, unexpectedly, when he went to the toilet afterwards, a large amount of blood and blood clots were discharged, and his family rushed him to the hospital for rescue, in the process, Mr. Zhou once had heavy bleeding and shock, and the doctor rescued him with all his strength.

After reading these wild roads, Wei Midi only felt that Kikube was tight! Once again, advise everyone, do not listen to the so-called "ancestral secret recipe" small advertisement, and do not easily try to move the knife yourself, the chrysanthemum is delicate, which can withstand your so hot hand to destroy the flowers!
So, how do we take good care of fragile chrysanthemums? What should I do if I have hemorrhoids?
The growing history of a hemorrhoid
Hemorrhoids, in fact, there are varicose veins in a certain section of the rectum and anus, when defecating, the veins may be over-stretched and bulging, at this time will feel a flesh lump on the chrysanthemum, which is hemorrhoids.
According to the different growth locations, the hemorrhoid family is divided into "three brothers" of external hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids.
External hemorrhoids: If you always feel pain around the chrysanthemum, it is likely caused by external hemorrhoids, and a hard lump can be felt around the chrysanthemum. If you use too much "mm-hmm" during defecation, it may also cause chrysanthemum bleeding.
Internal hemorrhoids: The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is rectal bleeding, and when you habitually look back after defecation, you may find bright red blood on toilet paper or toilet, including obvious blood on the poop. In addition to bleeding, internal hemorrhoids may also have itching and pain, and it always feels that the stool is not clean. If the pain is severe, urgent treatment is required.
Mixed hemorrhoids: It is hemorrhoids that are located between external hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids, and the symptoms of external hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids are affected. (Speaking of which, it hurts to have a hemorrhoidal friend who has mixed hemorrhoids...) ）
PS: Bleeding, perianal pain and recent changes in bowel habits are also symptoms of colon cancer, rectal cancer, and cancer, and those with these symptoms, especially those over 50 years of age or with a family history of colon cancer, should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Why do hemorrhoids like you?
Oh, the following bad habits, you hit a few, do not have points in your heart?
Defecation for too long: brush the mobile phone on the toilet, brush has been cool, but for a long time abdominal pressure is large, the pressure in the basin and venous area is increased, and the blood is stuck in the vein, resulting in the expansion of the vein, which then pulls the surrounding tissues and slowly forms hemorrhoids.
Sedentary standing: it will increase the pressure on the lower end of the rectum, affect blood flow, and cause varicose veins to occur in the area, which is why hemorrhoids favor occupational groups such as white-collar workers and drivers.
In addition, constipation or diarrhea can not be cured for a long time, pregnancy, obesity, etc. can also induce hemorrhoids.
Do I have to cut if I have hemorrhoids?
Once you are found by hemorrhoids, it is likely to accompany it for life. So many people want to cut the hemorrhoids and get a hundred with it. The question is, do you have to cut if you have hemorrhoids? Is it really good to cut it?
Treat hemorrhoids, advocate the principle of leniency: if you do not make trouble, coexist with it; if you disturb the people, give medicine to appease; too rampant, get rid of it quickly!
Therefore, whether hemorrhoids can be operated on depends on the severity of them. Asymptomatic hemorrhoids do not care about it and observe the situation; symptomatic hemorrhoids seek to reduce symptoms or eliminate symptoms; and surgery is only considered when non-surgical treatment is ineffective or is not suitable for non-surgical treatment.
Hemorrhoids are also clinically graded:
I degree: blood in the stool, dripping blood, post-stool bleeding can stop on its own; no hemorrhoids come out.
Degree II. Degree: blood during defecation; hemorrhoids are prolapsed during defecation, and hemorrhoids can be returned by themselves after defecation.
III. degree: there may be blood in the stool; there may be hemorrhoids in the bowel movement or standing for a long time, coughing, exertion, and weight bearing, and it is necessary to return it by hand.
IV. degree: blood in the stool may be present; hemorrhoids may be easily exfoliated if they continue to come out or after repayment.
Among them, I degree and ii degree generally do not require surgical treatment, and third degree, iv degree internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids can be treated surgically.
As for mild hemorrhoids, what if you don't cut it? Of course, you can only keep it! Basically, conservative treatment is the mainstay, and efforts are made to alleviate symptoms.
Hemorrhoids that are not cut, what to do?
Most hemorrhoids can be prevented and improved by adjusting dietary habits, lifestyle and bowel habits:
Soon sit, soon stand, soon pull: usually pay attention to sitting, stand for a long time, do not bring a mobile phone to the toilet! Let yourself concentrate on defecation, fight quickly, really can't pull out, don't force yourself, try to defecate at the same time every day, and form a habit.
Adjust your dietary habits: Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains; also pay attention to drinking plenty of water.
Exercise every day: Even if you take a minute or two to exercise, sticking to it will help improve constipation and hemorrhoids.
In addition, on the issue of eating spicy, many people previously believed that eating too much spicy caused hemorrhoids, but there is currently no scientific evidence to prove that spicy foods cause hemorrhoids to occur or worsen [1].
However, when the hemorrhoids are itchy or broken, it is still necessary to eat less spicy foods and other things that are irritating to the intestines.
Other foods to eat less include: wine, meat, dairy products such as milk and cheese... Alcohol will also irritate the intestines, while meat, milk and other low-fiber foods, can cause constipation or aggravate constipation, induce hemorrhoids.
When hemorrhoids occur, how to relieve the pain?
1. Warm water sitz bath
About 15 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day, soak once after defecation, but be careful not to rub the hemorrhoids area, and then gently pat or blow dry the washed part (try to dry it with a hair dryer, don't ask me how I know, I don't have hemorrhoids!). ）
2. Ice compresses
When hemorrhoids occur, Xiaoice bags can be placed on the hemorrhoid site several times to temporarily relieve pain and swelling.
3. Painkillers
If you are a senior hemorrhoid patient and have not been alarmed by the onset of hemorrhoids, then when the hemorrhoids occur, you can take out the painkiller prescribed by the doctor to quickly and effectively relieve the pain.
4, do not scratch
Hemorrhoids itch and hurt, it is simply painful, but do not scratch with your hands, otherwise it may damage the skin, resulting in more and more itchy scratching, the more painful it is!
Finally, Wei Midi wants to say that although hemorrhoids make people hate, in fact, there are benefits to hemorrhoids, do not believe?
After getting hemorrhoids, are you living a healthier and regular life? It forces you to sit and stand for a short time, forces you to exercise, give up unreasonable eating habits... Because once you are arrogant, your chrysanthemum will remind you with actions: Young man, are you floating?
Therefore, hemorrhoids are really well-intentioned for us!
