What will be the effective home treatment for external hemorrhoids in women? Photo of the disease. hemorrhoids in women

The primary signs of hemorrhoids in women will be common to all patients with this disease.

Symptoms appear for each woman individually, but they are all similar to well-known ones.


If any one of these signs is found, attention should be paid to the problem, and
it is better to consult a doctor. In the first phases of hemorrhoids, treatment can be carried out quickly and effectively. Ignoring the disease and the lack of proper treatment will lead to serious complications and irreparable pathologies, which can only be solved by surgical intervention, that is, by surgery.

Medicines eliminate pain, relieve inflammation, facilitate
the course of discomfort during treatment. Ointments and creams have an antiseptic and analgesic effect, tone up blood vessels. Candles directly affect the inflamed and damaged areas, taking the most active influence on getting rid of this unpleasant disease.

Among it is worth noting the ointment and rectal suppositories Relif, RelifUltra and RelifAdvance, also popular, Proctoglivenol, Hepatrombin G. Experts do not recommend the use of ointments, while suppositories are recommended for any kind of proctological ailment.

In complex treatment, tablets such as Antistax, Troxevasin, Detralex, Troxerutin and others are prescribed. It should be understood that the period of treatment with tablet means can be delayed for months.

Healing with folk remedies

Treatment with folk methods and means includes the use of medicinal plants and natural ingredients. Particular attention when getting rid of hemorrhoids will have to be given to pregnant women, since the methods must be safe for the unborn baby.

The medicinal plant chamomile is very popular in the treatment process. It has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. The plant is used in the preparation of a decoction for baths or compresses. To prepare a healing decoction, you need to pour a tablespoon of the collection with a glass of boiling water and let it brew for several hours.

Potato helps in the regeneration of wounds and small cracks, has an enveloping property. Grated fresh potatoes and wrapped in gauze can be applied to inflamed nodes. Potato juice is recommended for enemas. 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed juice is injected into the rectum through an enema pear. You can take the course for 7 days. You can also make a rectal suppository from a potato.

Treatment of hemorrhoids at home

It is very convenient to treat hemorrhoids at home. An understandable process will be the adoption of sitz baths with decoctions of medicinal plants of chamomile, calendula or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. It is appropriate to use rectal suppositories at home. Candles can be either purchased at pharmacies or made with your own hands from,
candied honey or propolis with fat.

Candles are usually introduced at night or in an environment in which it is possible and even necessary to lie down for about half an hour. Before the rectal procedure, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands and the anus. Naturally, in the comfort of your home, this will not be difficult.

With an exacerbation of the disease, it is advised to replace the use of toilet paper with washing the anus, so as not to irritate the already inflamed area.

Prevention of the disease in women

Everyone will agree with the thesis that any disease is easier to prevent than to cure. This is what all preventive measures are aimed at.

Such a complex includes the following conditions:


Hemorrhoids in women proceed according to the following signs:

  1. The beginning is always sharp. If in men the disease often begins with a blurred clinical picture (mild pain, malaise) and develops gradually, with aggravation of symptoms, in the fairer sex, the clinical picture is bright from the very beginning.
  2. More severe course. Higher risk of bleeding, more intense pain.
  3. The risk of complications is much higher.

Otherwise, hemorrhoids have a typical course that does not depend on gender.

The reasons

The female body is more predisposed to the formation of a pathogenic process. This is facilitated by the features of anatomy and physiology, as well as lifestyle.

There are the following causes of hemorrhoids in women:

  1. Burdened heredity. If the patient had an ascendant relative (father, mother, grandmother, grandfather) suffering from the described disease, the risk of getting sick increases several times. More specific: in the presence of one sick relative - the probability of 15%, two relatives - 25%. If the family history is even more complex, we are talking about 45-50%. Fortunately, hemorrhoids themselves are not transmitted. Only the features of the circulatory system, connective tissue are inherited. These factors add up to an increased risk of acquiring an unpleasant companion.
  2. Pregnancy. We are talking about a whole complex of pathogenic factors that negatively affect the body of the expectant mother. During the gestation period, significant changes in the hormonal background begin. Increases the concentration of progesterone, male sex hormones. As a result, the body ceases to function as it should. Digestion and stool disorders are noted, intestinal motility is disturbed, the tone of venous structures and valves decreases. In the last stages of the process, when the fetus becomes large enough, intestinal compression begins. Accordingly, the main vessels are also pinched. The rectum receives less nutrients and oxygen. Ischemia is another factor.
  3. Childbirth. Often become the cause of the development of hemorrhoids in women. Intensive attempts lead to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Hemorrhoids are formed, and already formed fall out.
  4. Constipation and diarrhea. Diarrhea affects the dynamics and the likelihood of developing the process to a lesser extent. As for constipation - they also lead to straining during bowel movements. The result is already known - an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Women are more prone to problems with stools: the long sigmoid colon makes itself felt (this is where feces are formed).
  5. Physical activity beyond measure. We are not talking about minimal activity, like walking, exercising, etc. Heavy lifting is dangerous. In this regard, men who are engaged in intensive labor at a professional level (loaders, etc.) are more at risk. It all depends on the physical fitness of the woman. Sometimes for the formation of the disease it is quite enough to regularly carry a child.
  6. Physical inactivity. Lack of physical activity is just as bad as too much. Often it is about the nature of professional activity. Hemorrhoids appear in office workers. Prolonged sitting in a sitting position leads to stagnation of blood in the pelvic area. The result is a decrease in vascular tone, disruption of the venous valves and the rapid development of varicose veins.
  7. Menstrual cycle. It is indirectly related to the described disease. The fact is that during the monthly cycle, the small pelvis is supplied with blood too intensively. At the same time, it is not only about the genitals. Stagnation of venous blood is fraught with hemorrhoids in women.
  8. Wrong nutrition. Perhaps the leading cause of the formation of the disease. An unbalanced diet leads to problems with digestion, dysbacteriosis, which causes constipation, impaired motor skills.
  9. Bad habits. Excess alcohol, tea, smoking, all these factors lead to the occurrence of stenosis of blood vessels. Narrowing of the veins causes congestion. As soon as the blood supply is restored, the vessels overflow with the impossibility of normal microcirculation.
  10. Anal sex. Nature did not provide for such an option for sexual contact. As a result of frictions, the walls of the rectum are damaged, hematomas are formed. In addition, the introduction of the penis into the anus leads to an increase in local pressure.
  11. A sharp decrease in body weight, diet. Violated intestinal motility in women. Chronic constipation occurs.
  12. Age-related changes in the body. In older people, the circulatory structures lose their former tone and elasticity. Violations of microcirculation at the local level leads to venous congestion. In combination with insufficiency of the valves, this is a direct path to the beginning of the hemorrhoidal process. However, according to the same statistics, women under the age of 50 are more likely to get sick. That is, a modern person manages to "acquire" the disease long before the onset of age-related changes.
  13. Stress, psychological reasons. lead to vascular stenosis. It happens because of the excessive production of the hormones adrenaline, norepinephrine and cortisol. These substances have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system in general and peripheral vessels in particular, from which hemorrhoids come out.
  14. The presence of concomitant diseases of the digestive tract. Especially other parts of the intestine, liver, leads to hemorrhoids in women.
  15. The presence of neoplastic processes in the rectum. In this case, hemorrhoids acts as a secondary pathology.

In addition, all factors that irritate the rectal mucosa are of clinical importance: frequent, excessive hygiene of the anal area.

"Participation" in the development of hemorrhoids in women plays a whole range of reasons. Rarely is a disease caused by a single factor. Thus, hemorrhoids are a multifactorial condition.

The first symptoms of internal and external hemorrhoids in women

In medical science, hemorrhoids are divided into and. The main difference lies in the localization of the affected venous structure. So, with an internal form, nodes (cones) are observed in the lumen of the rectum.

It is impossible to see them with the naked eye. This condition is diagnosed only through specialized studies. With the external form of hemorrhoids in women, the nodes are localized in the anus and go outside.

The first symptoms are largely similar in both cases.

In the internal form, note:

  1. Blood in the structure of feces.
  2. Feeling of incomplete bowel emptying.
  3. Pain when emptying the rectum.
  4. Discomfort in the anus.

External form of hemorrhoids in women:

  1. Change in the shape of the anus.
  2. The development of hemorrhoidal cones.
  3. Sharp pain in the rectal region.
  4. Discomfort during defecation.
  5. Swelling of nodular formations.
  6. Change in the shape of stool.

These are just the first manifestations. As the pathology worsens, the signs overlap each other, complementing the clinical picture.

The clinical picture of hemorrhoids, even in the early stages, is quite characteristic for making a diagnosis.

Among the typical manifestations of hemorrhoids in women:

  1. Expressed discomfort in the anus. The condition is characterized by intense pain syndrome. Increases in the process of defecation, at the time of physical activity. There is a direct relationship between the intensity of pain and the nature of the pathological process: acute hemorrhoids are accompanied by much more pronounced manifestations. The pain is due to the rich innervation of the mucous membranes of the rectum, which inevitably suffer during the course of the disease.
  2. Feeling of fullness, heaviness in the rectum. Due to the growth of hemorrhoids. There is irritation of the walls of the rectum. The symptom is especially noticeable after the act of defecation. Cones fall into the lumen of the organ, causing its partial obstruction. As a result, more effort is required to pass the feces, the pressure in the intestine increases. Subjectively, this is felt as heaviness and discomfort.
  3. Bleeding. Hemorrhoids tend to bleed. The fragility of blood vessels, including large ones, increases. An important diagnostic value is the nature of bleeding: this symptom is also characteristic of oncological processes in the rectum. With hemorrhoids in women, the blood coats the stool, looks fresh and is not woven into the stool. Cancer tumors change the color of the stool, the blood looks like streaks.
  4. Seal at the entrance to the rectum. It is observed only in the external form of the disease. This fact allows even one's own forces to delimit one form of the disease from another. The symptom is provoked by a spasm of the sphincter muscles.
  5. Increased itching in the perianal region. Also typical of the outdoor form. The rectum has many nerve endings. During the course of the pathology, the outer layers of the intestinal epithelium are destroyed. This is where the itch receptors are located. Itching is most characteristic of the first stages of the disease.
  6. Hyperemia of the anal region. Caused by irritation of the anus. Also, it is observed with intensive impact on the rectal area (as a result of therapeutic measures, etc.).
  7. Formation in women of visually defined pineal structures in the anus. In the early stages, they are so small that they can only be seen with careful examination and palpation. The more running the process, the larger the nodes become.
  8. Formation of swelling of the rectal area. It is caused by stagnation of interstitial fluid. Such a manifestation is typical for any inflammatory process.
  9. Sharp pain when coughing and sneezing. The syndrome is aggravated by changing the position of the body.
  10. In the later stages, new nodes may prolapse from the lumen of the middle sections of the rectum. As a rule, this happens after intense physical exertion. The symptom is typical for internal hemorrhoids in women.

Stages of the disease in women

Let's look at the stages of hemorrhoids in women:

Table:

I stage

It is the same for both men and women. At the first stage of development of hemorrhoids, typical symptoms are not expressed at all or are expressed to a minimal extent. Objectively, the process is characterized by the formation of small hemorrhoids (no more than a few mm). It is possible to visually identify formations at this stage only through proctological examination. In the case of the internal form of the disease, even a finger examination does not always provide accurate data. The patient feels a slight pain syndrome in the anal area, slight bleeding is possible. Often the patient learns about the existence of bleeding by seeing traces of fresh blood on toilet paper. Also, there is a slight itching and burning sensation, which can be attributed to anal fissures or lack of hygiene. In representatives of the weaker half of humanity, the symptoms are more distinct. The duration of the course of the first stage of hemorrhoids is from 3 to 15 years. It is this moment that is ideal for conducting specific therapy, but due to the peculiarities of the mentality, not many people go to the doctor in the early stages.

II stage

The second stage in women occurs with pronounced symptoms of hemorrhoids. During this period, the bumps reach a significant size (about a centimeter), but they can be set on their own with some effort. There is pain in the anus, itching, severe burning. The second stage is characterized by obvious bleeding. So, if in the initial period blood is found only on toilet paper, at this stage it stains the linen. Pain is aggravated by defecation, physical activity.

III stage

In the third stage, the process becomes more and more aggravated. The size of hemorrhoids varies from 0.8 to 1.5 cm. Women may have more. The bumps fall out not only at the time of defecation, but also with slight physical exertion. With effort, they can still be set, albeit with great difficulty. Symptoms are significantly aggravated during the course of the menstrual cycle. Bleeding intensifies.

IV stage

The most advanced stage of the disease. Hemorrhoids become even larger, bleeding is more intense (intensive blood loss is observed). Secondary infection of wound surfaces is possible. Often, the 4th stage of the course of the process is accompanied by severe complications: necrosis and ulceration of the nodes, the formation of thrombosis sites. Cones are no longer amenable to reduction. Stage 4 is life-threatening and requires urgent surgical correction.

In general, the course of all 4 stages in representatives of both sexes is identical. The difference is only in the intensity of manifestations. From the early stages of hemorrhoids, patients experience severe discomfort. During menstruation, the manifestations become even stronger. For this reason, the risk of developing life-threatening complications is higher.

Kinds

This issue has been partly addressed before.

According to the localization of the pathological process, the disease is divided into three types:

  1. Internal hemorrhoids. Localization of the overgrown venous structures - the middle sections of the rectum. The nodes are not visualized, the only way to detect the disease is to conduct a proctological examination. In the later stages of the course, nodes may prolapse outside the rectum.
  2. external form of the disease. In this case, the localization of the process is low. Nodes are formed in the rectal area and from the very first stages of development of hemorrhoids in women, they are visible to the naked eye.
  3. Combined form. Rare type of hemorrhoids. They say about the combined variety if the nodes are multiple and localized simultaneously in the middle sections of the intestine and the rectal region.

What does it look like?

In normal and advanced stages

Acute advanced hemorrhoids in women can be recognized as a volumetric node of an irregular round or bean-shaped shape. In other cases, the node may have a multiple structure (consist of several rounded formations). Ulcerative structures are formed throughout the volume of education, due to malnutrition and venous congestion.

What it looks like:

Photos of the initial and last stages of hemorrhoids in women:



The color of hemorrhoidal cones is bright red or crimson.

The formation protrudes beyond the anus and partially blocks its lumen. A deep digital examination reveals a widespread vascular lesion.

In the chronic phase of the disease (when the pathology is not complicated), the node decreases in size and acquires a pale pink hue. During the period of remission, spontaneous reduction of cones is possible.

During pregnancy, after childbirth

During this period, hemorrhoids in women are usually pronounced. In pregnant women, newly formed nodes are small in size. They are single and easy to set. Color - red. Dimensions do not exceed 2-5 mm.

After childbirth, in lactating women, the process becomes more complicated, hemorrhoidal bumps increase in size. If the disease flows for a long time, there is a prolapse of cones from the sections of the middle intestine.

Good remedies for treatment:

Outdoor and indoor

Internal hemorrhoids in women are not visible to the naked eye. You can see the bumps only after they fall out of the middle section of the rectum. In this case, the nodes are teardrop-shaped.

They are of considerable size. The surface of the formations is significantly hyperemic. Visual signs of the external process depend on the stage. The more neglected the stage, the larger the bump and the more significant the pigmentation.

Which doctor is treating?

A profile specialist involved in the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids in women is called or coloproctologist.

At the initial consultation, the specialist interviews the patient, identifies complaints, their nature, intensity. At the end of the survey, a life history is collected. An important diagnostic value is the fact of recent hypothermia, pregnancy, anal sex, etc.

The most informative part of the examination of the patient is a rectal digital examination. It allows you to identify hemorrhoidal cones, nodular formations and determine their size and structure.

Methods for diagnosing the disease

They differ little from the methods of examining male patients.

The following studies are shown:

Rectal examination

He's a rectal finger examination. It is carried out as follows. The patient assumes a side-lying position with bent legs or a knee-elbow position.

The doctor puts on a medical glove and lubricates the index finger with petroleum jelly. Next, the finger is inserted into the rectum for its entire length (palm up). The walls of the rectum are palpated. A similar technique is the first means of diagnosing hemorrhoids, but it does not fully distinguish one proctological condition from another.

Sigmoidoscopy

Minimally invasive examination. Check for hemorrhoids in women by inserting a flexible probe with a lighting device and a camera into the rectum. Such an endoscopic examination makes it possible to assess the condition of the rectum and the initial sections of the sigmoid colon.

Anoscopy

It is also an endoscopic examination of hemorrhoids. In this case, only the initial sections of the rectum are examined. For diagnostic manipulation, a special apparatus is used - an anoscope. Unlike sigmoidoscopy, it provides less information and does not allow tissue to be taken for further research.

Colonoscopy

It is rarely used. A colonoscopy involves examining the entire large intestine. This makes little sense: hemorrhoids only affect the rectum.

Differential Diagnosis

It is possible only through sigmoidoscopy. During the study, the doctor pinches off a piece of the formation tissue (performs a biopsy). The sample is sent for histological and morphological examination. It is far from always possible to distinguish a hemorrhoid from a tumor of the rectum. Laboratory research is intended to put an end to the issue of differential diagnosis.

The procedure for the treatment of folk remedies

Trays

The safest for self-use baths with potassium permanganate and.

They are prepared at home as follows:

  1. Bath with potassium permanganate. Take a small amount of crystals and pour them into a basin until the solution turns into a pale pink color. Liquid temperature - not higher than 60 degrees. Allow the solution to cool slightly. Sitting in a basin of hot water, the patient runs the risk of burns and exacerbation of hemorrhoids in women. Duration - 15 minutes.
  2. To prepare a bath with garlic take 2 heads of garlic and place them in a basin of water (one procedure requires 5 liters of liquid). After 20 minutes the bathroom is ready. The duration of the procedure is 25 minutes.

These recipes are effective in the early stages of the course of the disease. A running hemorrhoidal process cannot be treated in this way.

You can resort to a more complex method of traditional medicine. Pour hot water (boiling) into a large bucket. Position yourself exactly above the steam and warm up the hemorrhoids.

So that the water does not cool down, a red-hot brick is placed in the bucket (after 5-10 minutes from the start of the procedure). Steam baths contribute to the heating of vascular structures. Like last time, the method is effective only in the early stages of the disease.

Ice

Cold causes stenosis of blood vessels. Ice stops bleeding, relieves pain, but with prolonged use, the patient runs the risk of aggravating the condition. Recommended for natural use. Place a few ice cubes in gauze or bandage. Apply a cold impromptu compress to the hemorrhoids. Keep 3-5 minutes. It is better to carry out the procedure before going to bed.

Camomile tea

It is taken orally. Relieves inflammation, pain syndrome. For external use, a decoction is used. To prepare the infusion, you need to take a full tablespoon of chamomile flowers (crushed), pour a glass of water. Leave for 15 minutes. Then drain the infusion. Take the medicine in a teaspoon twice a day on an empty stomach.

vegetable candles

The manufacture of suppositories for hemorrhoids from carrots and beets is practiced. A rather controversial recipe, given that such candles are not able to dissolve on their own, but completely cause irritation and deterioration. If you want to try the recipe for yourself, you should cut a small torpedo out of the vegetable. Lubricate it with Vaseline and insert it into the anus. After 1-3 hours, remove the candle.

Honey remedies

Honey can make a candle or ointment. In both cases, an anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect is observed. Candles for hemorrhoids are prepared as follows: take candied honey, make a suppository of small diameter from it. Enter into the intestine until completely dissolved. You can smear hemorrhoidal bumps with pure honey, using it as a medicine.

Microclysters

A solution for microclysters can be made on the basis of chamomile (a tablespoon of raw materials per glass of hot water), wormwood (4 tablespoons per full liter of water, insist 6 hours, drain), oak bark (a teaspoon of raw materials per glass of water, infused for 15 minutes). For the procedure, you will need a syringe.

Fill the pear with a solution, insert the tip into the anus and irrigate the rectum. The event is held twice a day. The effect is based on therapeutic properties. Relieve inflammation, disinfect wound surfaces, relieve pain.

Cold lotions

They have an effect similar to ice. Cause a sharp narrowing of the dilated vessels. Accordingly, the bleeding stops and the pain subsides. The lotion is made by applying a water-soaked cloth to the affected area. Every 20 minutes, the fabric is again moistened in water. A single application up to three times is acceptable.

Compresses

For the proper preparation of compresses for hemorrhoids, you can take ice, decoctions of chamomile, oak bark, wormwood, walnut (a teaspoon of leaves in a glass of boiling water, leave for 15 minutes). Soak the gauze cut with the drug, apply to the affected area. Cover with a cloth and fix in this position. Duration - from 25 minutes to 2 hours. Relieve pain, inflammation, bleeding.

red grape leaves

They have an astringent, hemostatic effect, normalize microcirculation in the veins. Take 3 tablespoons (tea) of raw materials. Pour in a glass of boiling water. Insist 10 minutes. Take 2 cups a day for hemorrhoids. Every day, prepare a new decoction, it is not suitable for storage.

Garlic

Can be used in the form of suppositories or ointments. Candles are prepared like this. Take 2 cloves of garlic, grind them to a mushy state. Now you need to melt the butter on the fire. Make torpedo-shaped shapes from cardboard or paper. Pour oil with garlic into them and leave to harden. Suppositories are administered twice a day. The ointment is prepared from honey (a teaspoon) and garlic (1 clove). Lubricate the cones twice a day.

Yarrow candles

They relieve pain, relieve inflammation and stop bleeding. Pour a teaspoon of raw materials with a glass of boiling water. Prepare torpedo-shaped forms from paper. Mix honey with decoction of herbs. Pour into the mold and leave for a while. Suppositories are administered twice a day.

Oak bark candles

Prepare in the same way. For 2 teaspoons of raw materials, you will need a glass of water and a teaspoon of honey to make candles. Oak bark effectively relieves inflammation, pain, stops bleeding.

Linseed oil candles

Mix a teaspoon of oil with a spoonful of honey. Candles to enter twice a day. Normalizes the nutrition of tissues, helps to reduce hemorrhoids in women.

  7. Cryptite. Inflammation of the sinuses of the rectum. Causes discomfort in the anus, secondary bleeding.
  8. Rectal cancer. Hemorrhoids increase the risk of developing cancer by almost 30%. The reason lies in the chronic inflammatory process.

Preventive measures

  1. Women should not get supercooled and sit on cold objects.
  2. You should eat rationally.
  3. It is necessary to maintain physical activity at an optimal level.
  4. Lifting heavy loads should be avoided.
  5. You should regularly undergo preventive examinations with a proctologist.
  6. It is necessary to treat pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, prevent constipation and diarrhea.

In a complex, these methods of prevention are enough.

Proper nutrition, diet

Women can eat:

  • fermented milk products (milk, kefir, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream);
  • foods rich in fiber (fresh ripe fruits, vegetables, berries, legumes);
  • lean meats;
  • fish;
  • bread;
  • cereals;
  • vegetable oils;
  • you need to drink more water, natural fruit and berry decoctions, fruit drinks;

Do not use with hemorrhoids:

  • fried foods (meat, fish);
  • drinks with gases;
  • unripe fruits and vegetables;
  • Tea coffee;
  • alcohol;
  • rich products;
  • pasta;
  • spicy, spicy food;
  • salty foods;

Anal sex and hemorrhoids

Anal sex, as was said, increases the risk of developing hemorrhoids in women at times and exacerbates the course of the chronic form of the disease. It is strictly not recommended to practice this method of sexual contact.

In extreme cases, as much lubricant as possible should be used to facilitate the process and reduce friction. In addition, with prolonged practice, a lot of other pathologies develop: colitis, etc., overstretching of the walls of the organ occurs, fecal incontinence is observed.

Massages and Kegel exercises

Massage is carried out by influencing the area of ​​the hemorrhoid. It is carried out with the index finger for five minutes with light pressing circular movements.

Kegel gymnastics

Another technique is the Kegel exercise. Its essence lies in the tension and relaxation of the anal sphincter. To understand how to do it, it is recommended to interrupt the process of urination several times and remember the sensation.

Massages are effective because they increase tissue nutrition, normalize venous outflow and, accordingly, relieve productive symptoms of the disease.

Hemorrhoids in women are a dangerous pathology that can cause death (because in the fairer sex, the disease flows more aggressively and severely). At the first sign of problems with the body, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Self-medication is ineffective and dangerous. This is the only way to expect a favorable outcome.

Proctological problems of the rectum are a frequent companion of the weak half of humanity. Why does external hemorrhoids occur in women and how to treat inflammation of the nodes?

The disease causes discomfort and symptoms

Hemorrhoidal disease is a varicose vein in the lower rectum. Accompanied by thrombosis, pain, rectal bleeding and other unpleasant symptoms. The disease is internal and external.

Pathology is often diagnosed in women during pregnancy and after childbirth. It appears in middle and old age.

Often the disease proceeds without visible signs. Only an acute course and a neglected form begin to give women discomfort.

Symptoms of external hemorrhoids are manifested

  1. rectal bleeding during bowel movements;
  2. an increase in hemorrhoids and their prolapse from the anus;
  3. pain in the anus;
  4. inflammation and swelling of the nodes;
  5. thrombosis of nodes;
  6. in the most advanced cases - gangrene.

External hemorrhoids are varicose veins located under the skin in the anus.

What does it look like? Outwardly, these are skin folds (fringes) framing the anus from the outside.

If you ignore the treatment, then over time they take the form of large petals. In this case, the patient feels discomfort not only while walking.

Fringes can cause irritation, itching, swelling of the upper layer of the skin and disruption of its structure. External hemorrhoids contribute to the formation of anal fissures. Cracks originate at the bases of nodes. With timely access to a proctologist, they can be cured with conservative methods.

A hemorrhoid with acute thrombophlebitis causes a complication in the form of a dense formation in the anus, which is shaped like a round intestine. This complication is accompanied by severe pain, which usually disappears after 7 to 10 days. The thrombus does not go away.

Reasons for the appearance

Constipation causes inflammation of the hemorrhoids

Factors that can trigger the development of hemorrhoids are as follows:

  • low physical activity;
  • pregnancy and difficult childbirth;
  • persistent constipation;
  • strong physical activity;
  • addiction to spicy and spicy food;
  • pathology of the pelvic organs;
  • lack of valves in the efferent veins of the hemorrhoidal plexus.

Distinguish between primary and secondary pathology. The cause of primary hemorrhoids is hereditary predisposition.

The development of a secondary ailment can be caused by:

  1. portal hypertension, when there is a violation of blood circulation in the portal vessels;
  2. stagnation of blood in the inferior vena cava;
  3. constant constipation;
  4. heart failure;
  5. sedentary work.

During pregnancy and after childbirth

Thrombosis and prolapse of nodes are common during pregnancy and lactation.

Self-medication during pregnancy is harmful and even dangerous. This is especially true of the first trimester, when the formation of the internal organs of the baby takes place. And all drugs, even those intended for external use, are potentially dangerous to the fetus.

In pregnant women, local remedies are used to treat the initial stage of hemorrhoids and preference is given to natural natural ingredients.

During this period, patients are categorically contraindicated in steam and sitz baths. For the treatment of external hemorrhoids, lotions and ointments based on natural ingredients are used.

With caution, you need to approach the treatment of hemorrhoids and during lactation! Medicines through the mucous membrane of the rectum are able to be absorbed into the bloodstream and pass into breast milk. During the period of breastfeeding, women are recommended to use products with natural ingredients for the treatment of proctological diseases of the rectum.

During pregnancy and after childbirth, the use of certain drugs for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease must be agreed with the attending physician.

Help at home

Sedentary baths with potassium permanganate well relieve inflammation and reduce itching

Acute inflammation of external hemorrhoids is a reason to abandon physical activity and be treated with bed rest.

During this period, you should not fight constipation. On the contrary, it is better to try to delay the stool for a few days. You can include in the diet: beef broth, egg white omelette, lean meat boiled and minced through a meat grinder, slimy rice porridge in water, white crackers (3-4 pieces a day), 4-6 mugs a day of slightly sweetened tea.

Cold packs in the first two days will help relieve pain.

Cotton pads or swabs soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate are applied to the inflamed nodes. The procedure is performed for 1.5 - 2 hours, making lotions every 15 - 20 minutes.

Folk remedies

To treat the initial stage of external hemorrhoids, you can try drinking an infusion of medicinal herbs. To prepare it, you need to take equal amounts of senna leaves, licorice fruits, coriander fruits, buckthorn bark, yarrow. 1 tablespoon of the mixture is brewed with a glass of boiling water and insisted for half an hour. A glass of infusion should be drunk before bedtime.

with medicinal herbs - the most effective remedy for external hemorrhoids. Healing plants act on blood vessels, reducing the inflammatory process.

Alternative recipes give a positive result only at the initial stage of the disease, when there are no serious complications.

Traditional treatment

The fastest and most effective treatment can only be prescribed by a proctologist after an examination

Treatment of external hemorrhoids in women involves conservative methods of treatment. Any therapy for a chronic illness is temporary. You should correct your habits that cause an exacerbation of the disease. These are malnutrition, excessive exercise, alcohol abuse.

Medicines

Medical treatment involves the use of:

  • general and local painkillers;
  • anti-inflammatory drugs;
  • applications with ointments;
  • cleansing enemas;
  • phlebotonic agents.

To relieve pain, non-narcotic analgesics are prescribed (Ketonal, Voltaren, Nise, Movalis, Diclofenac). You can also prescribe combined drugs (Gepatrombin G, Proctoglivenol, Ultraprokt).

Ointments for external hemorrhoids with an anti-inflammatory effect (Vishnevsky ointment, Levasin, Levomekol) are used for applications if the inflammatory process has spread to the skin and subcutaneous fat around the hemorrhoid.

The action of which is aimed at increasing the tone of the veins, are indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic forms of hemorrhoids. One of these drugs is Detralex.

To eliminate rectal bleeding, suppositories with adrenaline or local hemostatic agents (drug Spongostan, Adroxon, Beriplast) are used.

Thrombosis of nodes

The goal of the treatment of hemorrhoids complicated by acute thrombophlebitis is the resorption of the thrombus. For several days, the patient is advised to adhere to bed rest. Eat light food, stop smoking and alcohol.

For resorption of a blood clot, the patient is prescribed:

  • warm sessile baths for 10-15 minutes with a solution of potassium permanganate;
  • suppositories 2 times a day (cocoa butter - 2 g, streptocid - 0.08 g, xeroform - 0.1 g, novocaine - 0.12 g, belladonna extract - 0.015 g);
  • ointment applications (composition of the ointment: castor oil - 200 g, anestezin - 2 g, tar oil - 6 g, xeroform - 6 g).

If within 10 days after the start of treatment, the density of the thrombus remains the same, a decision is made on a surgical operation.

Operations to remove blood clots of hemorrhoids:

  1. Thrombectomy is a surgical treatment for hemorrhoids. During the operation, the hemorrhoid is cut and a blood clot is removed through the incision. The intervention does not require general anesthesia and observation in the hospital.
  2. In case of complications, the external hemorrhoid is removed completely. The operation is also indicated for frequent thrombosis.

Removal of hemorrhoids

How are external hemorrhoids removed?

Surgical intervention is required in a complicated form

For treatment, effective minimally invasive methods or their combinations are used. These are ligation of hemorrhoidal veins with ultrasonic dopplerometry, ligation of hemorrhoids with latex rings, sclerotherapy, infrared coagulation, etc.

The advantages of these techniques are low trauma and low pain. For the treatment of hemorrhoids at different stages, different methods are used:

Prevention

To prevent the development of hemorrhoids, experts recommend:

  1. during sedentary work, take 2-3 breaks to perform simple exercises, allocating 5-7 minutes for them;
  2. review your diet;
  3. avoid spicy food and alcohol.

To prevent the disease, you can perform the following exercises:

  • walk, raising your legs high, bending them at the knees;
  • perform leg swings alternately forward, then back, to the side;
  • perform tilts in different directions, from a standing position, feet shoulder-width apart;
  • in a standing position, hands on the belt, legs together, strain the muscles of the buttocks, while trying to retract the anus;
  • squat on toes, while spreading your knees wide.

The gymnastic complex ends with the first exercise.

External hemorrhoids in women are dangerous for vein thrombosis and the development of rectal cancer. A delay in going to the hospital can lead to a chronic course and a lifelong struggle with pathology.

Important Materials

There are many such diseases that we pay for living in a civilized society. The development of science, industry and technology is at such a level that we began to move less, in the workplace we spend most of the time sitting at the table. Our diet has changed significantly.

All this leads to the appearance of diseases that were previously, if encountered, much less frequently. Hemorrhoids are just such problems. This disease does not bypass either men or the beautiful half of humanity. Today we will try to figure out how to effectively treat hemorrhoids in women.

What is this disease?

Before proceeding to the issue of treating this disease, it is necessary to find out what hemorrhoids are. This term refers to varicose veins in the rectum, which can capture both internal vessels and appear outside.

The functional purpose of this section of the digestive tract determined its anatomical structure. The anus is the final section of the large intestine, or rather, the rectum.

To understand the causes of hemorrhoids, it is necessary to understand that this department is permeated with a dense network of blood vessels. It is possible to distinguish internal plexuses and external, which are distinguished by their tortuous nature. This is an excellent prerequisite for over-expanding them in some places. This is how they start to form

With such a disease, bleeding often occurs, and the blood flows bright scarlet, since a large number of arteries open into the veins of the rectum.

It turns out that the very anatomical structure allows a lot of reasons to start the process of hemorrhoids development. Despite the fact that this disease manifests itself almost the same in both sexes, the methods of treating hemorrhoids in women may have their own characteristics and differences.

Causes of hemorrhoids in women

Almost 80% of the female population, who already have the happiness of becoming mothers, are familiar with this unpleasant problem. During pregnancy, every month the load on the pelvic organs increases, which provokes a violation of blood flow and now hemorrhoids in person.

But there are still some in women. Treatment in each case should be selected individually.

  1. Professional activity can also be a factor that provokes the development of the disease, for example, sedentary work or one that requires you to be on your feet all day.
  2. We spend a lot of time in a sitting position, we stopped walking, more and more - by car or public transport, and this is directly related to changes in the rectum.
  3. Women's passion for trendy diets, fasting days, taking laxatives - all this disrupts the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to constipation, and this is one of the main causes of hemorrhoids.
  4. Hard physical work - although this factor is much less common in the fair half, it does take place.
  5. Many women are not far behind men in terms of addictions.
  6. Oncological diseases of the pelvic organs.
  7. Body weight exceeding the norm.
  8. Wrong nutrition.
  9. By nature, women are given every month to experience a rush of blood to the pelvic organs, and this cannot pass without a trace if there is even the slightest predisposition.

Just do not think that women who have not given birth cannot acquire this disease. We see that there are simply plenty of reasons, and almost every one of us has every reason to develop this disease.

Signs of the disease

If women have hemorrhoids, treatment will depend on the symptoms that are present. If you carefully listen to your body, you can catch the first symptoms of this disease, they can be as follows:

  • Constant discomfort in the anus.
  • The appearance of itching. A person begins to comb, and this can lead to the development of purulent diseases.
  • Pain sensations. As a rule, this symptom appears when there is inflammation of the hemorrhoids or their pinching. The pain may not go away for a long time after a bowel movement.
  • Bleeding. In this case, the blood does not mix with feces. Such a symptom already with 100% certainty indicates the presence of hemorrhoids.

If you pay attention to the first symptoms of hemorrhoids in women, the treatment will be much more effective. It is worth considering that these signs may not accompany a person all the time, they will either decrease or appear with renewed vigor.

Varieties of hemorrhoids

It turns out that if hemorrhoids are found in women, the treatment will also depend not only on the symptoms, but also on the type of disease. If we consider the course of this disease, we can distinguish two forms:

  1. Acute hemorrhoids.
  2. Chronic.

Depending on the location of the hemorrhoidal cones, there are:

  1. Internal hemorrhoids. The nodes in this case are located under the mucous membrane of the rectum.
  2. External hemorrhoids. You can see the formed hemorrhoids around the anus.
  3. Combined. Combined manifestations of both internal and external hemorrhoids.

Degrees of hemorrhoids

Any disease in its course has several stages through which it passes. If we talk about hemorrhoids, then it has the following degrees:

  • 1st - nodes protrude into the lumen of the rectum, but are not shown from the outside, blood may be released during defecation.
  • The 2nd degree is characterized by the loss of nodes outward, but they are easily set back.
  • 3rd - the nodes fall out after a slight load, they themselves are no longer set back.
  • The 4th degree is manifested by the formed nodes outside the anus.

Probably, it is not worth repeating that the treatment of hemorrhoids in women, and in men, will be the more effective the earlier it is started.

Treatment of the disease

Before your doctor prescribes treatment for you, he will conduct a series of studies, talk with you about the symptoms that you are experiencing. Therapy will directly depend on the type of disease and its degree.

In general, the following areas of treatment can be distinguished:

  1. The use of drugs.
  2. Special gymnastics.
  3. Change in diet.
  4. surgical method.

It can be noted that treatment in women is more successful than external treatment.

Medical therapy

If you seek medical help at the very beginning of the development of the disease, then drug treatment gives a completely successful result.

The main drugs that doctors prescribe in this case can be considered venotonic drugs, they normalize blood flow and increase the tone of the veins. Such medicines include:

  • Venus.
  • Detralex.
  • "Flebodia".
  • "Troxevasin".

In addition to these drugs, local medicines can be prescribed that will relieve itching, reduce pain and swelling of the tissues. Various ointments and suppositories are excellent for these purposes.

Candles for the treatment of hemorrhoids

If we consider hemorrhoids in women treatment, suppositories can be considered the most effective drugs. They have a wide spectrum of action, since the components that they include:

  • Raise
  • Reduce itching.
  • Remove irritation.
  • Quickly heal cracks in the rectum.
  • Great for fighting bacteria.

If you need to stop bleeding after a bowel movement, it is better to use suppositories containing adrenaline.

To combat blood clots, doctors often prescribe suppositories with hepatrombin or troxevasin. If you choose between suppositories and ointments, then it should be taken into account that the treatment of external hemorrhoids in women is more effective using ointments, for the internal form of the disease it is better to use suppositories.

To combat internal hemorrhoids, the following suppositories are often used:

  • "Relief".
  • "Posterized".
  • "Procto-Glivenol" and others.
  • "Troxevasin".
  • Detralex.
  • "Anistax".
  • "Aescusan".

If we consider hemorrhoids (photo), in women, the treatment is practically the same as in men. It is only necessary to take into account that it is better to consult a doctor and choose a more effective drug than self-medicate to no avail.

Alternative treatment of hemorrhoids in women

It is quite possible to cope with this disease using folk recipes. They will be more effective the sooner you start using them. Alternative treatment of hemorrhoids in women can be carried out by many means, so every lady can choose the most suitable for herself.

For these purposes, you can use:

  1. Do-it-yourself honey-based ointment. To do this, mix 1 teaspoon of honey, propolis, petroleum jelly, birch tar and sea buckthorn oil. The resulting mixture can be applied to hemorrhoidal bumps or simply lubricated. This procedure should be done daily, preferably at night, for 10 days.
  2. Homemade candles can be made from propolis, sea buckthorn oil, tar, or flour. Roll the mixture in the form of candles and freeze a little in the refrigerator. Insert them at night into the anus for 2 weeks.
  3. The initial symptoms of hemorrhoids in the form of itching and burning are well eliminated by candles from raw potatoes. They need to be put in at night. Starch envelops the mucous membrane and soothes.
  4. Treatment of external hemorrhoids in women is well carried out by lotions on hemorrhoids. It can even be ordinary cold water, only for a few minutes, or you can use medicinal herbs.

If you treat regularly, you can achieve a good effect.

Therapeutic exercises for hemorrhoids

A set of exercises alone will not be able to cure the disease, but it will help get rid of the causes that caused it.

All exercises have a good effect on vascular tone, blood circulation improves, stool returns to normal, abdominal muscles strengthen, which positively affects the work of the entire gastrointestinal tract.

It is necessary to engage in such gymnastics in the period between exacerbations, it is enough to devote 15 minutes to them twice a day.

  1. In a standing position, it is necessary to strain the gluteal muscles.
  2. In a prone position, bend your knees, put them shoulder-width apart. While inhaling, you need to strain your buttocks and lift your pelvis off the floor. This exercise promotes the outflow of blood from the small pelvis, which is especially important for women.
  3. In the prone position, clasp your knees with your hands and, as you exhale, pull them to your chest, and as you inhale, return to the starting position. Effective for constipation.
  4. Sit on a hard chair and retract the sphincter, while tensing the muscles.
  5. Bicycle exercise.
  6. From a lying position, alternately raise your legs, and then both.
  7. "Walking" on the buttocks.
  8. Do squats.
  9. Recall school physical education lessons and make a "birch tree". As a result, there is an outflow of blood from the pelvis.

This simple complex will not only help prevent hemorrhoids, but will also provide an invaluable service in maintaining excellent physical shape.

Proper nutrition for hemorrhoids

If there is hemorrhoids in women, treatment should be limited not only to taking medications, but also need to pay attention to nutrition. You will have to exclude from the diet:

  • Spicy condiments.
  • Fried meals.
  • Smoked products.
  • Alcoholic drinks.

It is necessary to establish water-salt metabolism, only with hemorrhoids, an excess of fluid can have the opposite effect, so its intake should be slightly limited.

To improve bowel function and prevent constipation, you should include in the menu:


Proper nutrition alone will not be able to cope with the disease, but in combination with other methods it will give a good result.

The danger of hemorrhoids

If you do not deal with the treatment of the disease, then it can lead to some complications, among which are the most common:

  1. Anemia can develop if the disease is accompanied by severe and frequent bleeding.
  2. Inflammation in adjacent tissues, which can lead to paraproctitis. It will require serious treatment.
  3. Cracks in the anus. They can cause severe pain, especially during bowel movements. Through them, various pathogens can easily penetrate.
  4. Itching. This is not only unpleasant and fraught with psychological discomfort, but can also lead to a complication of the disease.
  5. Weakening of the anal sphincter, which can lead to fecal incontinence. This complication often manifests itself in older people who, at an earlier age, were embarrassed to go to the doctor with this problem.

Given all these complications, we can conclude that hemorrhoids in women practically do not differ in symptoms, treatment can only have its own nuances, but the sooner it is started, the more likely it will be successful.

Disease prevention

The most important prevention of this disease is physical activity. You should not sit at computers all day long, you need to remember your health at least sometimes. If your professional activity is connected with sedentary work, then you can get up every hour and walk around a bit.

It is useful to take walks before going to bed, and even better to go swimming, running, jumping rope.

To prevent the disease, it is necessary to observe the regime of work and rest. Do not take on all the heavy physical exertion, especially since it is generally contraindicated for women.

Give up bad habits, it is no longer fashionable to smoke and drink alcohol. Many embark on the path of a healthy lifestyle and do the right thing.

Observe not only while taking a shower, it is advisable to wash the anus after each act of defecation.

Any disease is easier to prevent than to deal with its treatment for a long and painful time. Take care of yourself and be healthy.

Symptoms and signs of internal hemorrhoids in women are those manifestations of the clinical picture of the disease, in which it is necessary to seek the help of a specialist as soon as possible. Often, the factors for the manifestation of the symptoms of the disease in men and women do not differ much, but there are several reasons that are peculiar only to the female sex.

The occurrence and degree of intensity of expression of characteristic signs directly depends on the stage at which the disease proceeds. For example, at the first stage of development, the disease may not manifest itself at all, however, as it progresses, the most characteristic symptoms of the disease - pain, itching and burning in the anus will be more disturbing to the female representatives.

Symptoms and treatment of hemorrhoids are two interrelated components. The sooner the disease is detected, the easier it will be to get rid of it. In the initial stages, conservative methods of therapy will be effective, while in case of a complicated course, the only method of therapy is surgical intervention.

Internal hemorrhoids in women are caused by the influence of the following specific predisposing factors:

  • pregnancy - often pathology worries the expectant mother, starting from the second half of the second trimester of bearing a baby. This occurs against the background of an increase in the size of the uterus and active growth of the fetus, which leads to displacement of the internal organs, compression of the rectum and problems with the defecation process. Increased pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins leads to blood stasis. In addition, during such a period in the life of every woman, there is a change in the hormonal background and a violation of metabolic processes. This is what causes the appearance of signs of hemorrhoids in expectant mothers;
  • labor activity - it was found that eight out of ten female representatives after the birth of a baby note one or another clinical manifestation of internal hemorrhoids. In such cases, the formation of a hemorrhoid is a natural response of the female body to a huge load on the tissues in the area of ​​​​hemorrhoids during the passage of the fetus through the birth canal. Increasing the likelihood of such a disease can be birth cracks or artificial incisions, which can cause deformation of the anal sphincter during suturing. After the body returns to normal after the birth of the baby, the manifested internal hemorrhoids can disappear on their own forever, or go into a chronic form;
  • menstruation - often women and girls notice the expression of the characteristic symptoms of the disease in such monthly periods. In such cases, the formation of such a pathology is caused by an increase in blood flow to the pelvic area, which entails an increase in the volume of hemorrhoids;
  • addiction to anal sex - in this case, the rectum is stretched, which entails a violation of the blood supply, which causes the formation of internal nodes.

Other most common reasons for the appearance of symptoms of such an ailment in representatives of the weak are heavy physical exertion, for which the female body is not ready, a sedentary lifestyle or working conditions, as well as poor nutrition.

Causes of hemorrhoids in women

The clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids in females are individual in nature and completely depend on the stage of the course of such a disease, as well as the structural features of the female body.

Such a pathology is never formed in one day - it is characterized by a gradual development. The expression of the first symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women is often ignored, which is why the patients themselves provoke the development of a severe course of the disease. Thus, the initial signs of such a pathology can be considered:

  • discomfort and sensation of a foreign object in the anus;
  • the appearance of minor impurities of mucus in the stool;
  • a few drops of blood that remain on toilet paper;
  • itching in the anus.

As the disease progresses, the following symptoms begin to appear:

  • burning and pain in the anus, which are felt not only during defecation, but also during prolonged sitting;
  • violation of the stool, which is expressed in constipation. If such a symptom is not treated in a timely manner, it can cause intestinal obstruction;
  • feeling of incomplete emptying;
  • increased rectal bleeding;
  • an increase in the size of the abdomen;
  • false urge to defecate.

From this it follows that the nature and intensity of the expression of the signs of the clinical picture goes through several stages:

  • initial - characterized by the beginning of the formation of hemorrhoids. Symptoms at the same time appear rather weakly or are completely absent;
  • progressive - characterized by a gradual increase in the size of the hemorrhoid, which increasingly narrows the anal canal. During bowel movements, fecal masses put pressure on him, which becomes a source of pain. Internal nodes that are localized near the anus may fall out, and after the end of the emptying process, they independently return to their place;
  • advanced hemorrhoids - the progression of the disease entails a significant increase in the volume of the nodes, which leads to a violation of the structure of the vessels and the structure of the mucous layer of the rectum. Such conditions lead to the manifestation of pain and other symptoms of the disease, not only during emptying, but also during any physical exertion or severe coughing. Nodes of large size fall out, but can no longer return on their own, which is why they have to be set with fingers. In some cases, even manual intervention will not help get rid of the knot falling out.

Clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids

Before drawing up a treatment regimen, patients need to undergo a physical examination and a number of laboratory and instrumental examinations.

The decision on how to treat internal hemorrhoids in women depends entirely on the stage at which such a disease occurs. In an uncomplicated course, without prolapse of nodes, conservative therapy is indicated, which involves:

  • the use of rectal suppositories and other medicines;
  • normalization of the diet;
  • implementation of physiotherapy procedures.

Treatment with medications includes taking:

  • drugs to prevent the formation of blood clots;
  • homeostatic remedies to eliminate a symptom such as bleeding;
  • wound healing and antipruritic substances;
  • drugs to eliminate the inflammatory process;
  • painkillers and anesthetic drugs in the form of suppositories and ointments;
  • vitamin complexes;
  • medicines to strengthen blood vessels.

If the diagnosis of the disease was carried out in a woman during pregnancy, then the only medical way would be to use suppositories based on herbal ingredients, such as sea buckthorn or propolis.

Not the last role in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids in women is played by a sparing diet. For this you need:

  • completely abandon fatty and spicy foods;
  • minimize salt intake;
  • reduce the amount of alcohol and carbonated drinks consumed, as well as strong coffee;
  • enrich the menu with products rich in fiber and coarse fibers.

In addition, alternative therapies can be used. For the manufacture of homemade candles use:

  • propolis;
  • aloe;
  • pork fat;
  • raw potatoes.

Treatment of hemorrhoids with folk remedies

For home enemas apply:

  • chamomile and calendula;
  • olive and sea buckthorn oil;
  • juice of potatoes and beets.

It is very important for patients to remember that this method of getting rid of the symptoms of internal hemorrhoids should only be used in conjunction with other treatments.

With the ineffectiveness of conservative methods or with a complicated course of the disease, surgical intervention is indicated. There are several operations to treat the symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women:

  • sclerotherapy;
  • photocoagulation;
  • electrocoagulation;
  • the imposition of ligatures;
  • cryotherapy;
  • hemorrhoidectomy.

If you ignore the symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women, there is a high risk of developing complications such as:

  • thrombosis of hemorrhoids;
  • anemia against the background of profuse hemorrhage;
  • paraproctitis;
  • the formation of polyps in the colon;
  • chronic constipation;
  • anal fissure;
  • oncological lesions of the rectum.

To prevent the manifestation of symptoms of such a disease in female representatives, several rules must be followed:

  • completely abandon bad habits;
  • lead an active lifestyle with moderate physical activity and walking;
  • do not strain during defecation;
  • treat constipation in a timely manner;
  • maintain normal body weight;
  • follow the recommendations of the attending physician regarding nutrition.


Internal hemorrhoids in women are quite common. The cause may be childbirth and pregnancy, a sedentary profession, poor nutrition. What is the most effective treatment for hemorrhoidal disease in women?

Proctological diseases in women are treated by a proctologist

The internal form of hemorrhoids is much more insidious than the external form, since it manifests itself with meager symptoms. Signs are not always noticeable to an uninformed person in this matter. Given the level of employment and the increased pace of life of a modern woman, proctologists are much more likely to deal with prolapsed hemorrhoids.

Internal and external pathology require different treatment

It should be remembered that the internal earlier form of the disease is treated easier and eliminated faster. It delivers much less inconvenience and promises a lesser likelihood of recurrence.

The reasons for the development of the internal form of pathology in women are very diverse. It can be poor nutrition, a sedentary profession, pregnancy and childbirth, weight lifting. It is also important to note the hereditary predisposition.

By eliminating the causes of the development of the disease, you can count on a positive effect in the treatment

Symptoms of the disease

In order to know when to contact specialists for diagnosis and treatment, it is important to learn to recognize the signs of the disease.

The first to appear is a slight itching and soreness of the rectum, which occurs during defecation and is almost imperceptible after the end of the act. In the future, sensations are supplemented by burning.

Itching, burning, pain, heaviness in the abdomen, feeling of the presence of a foreign object in the anus

As the disease progresses, the intensity of pain may increase. Quite often, the process of defecation itself is complicated already in the first stages of the disease. This is due to the formation and growth of the hemorrhoid. That increasing in size, reduces the area of ​​the passage, reducing its throughput.

Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women are often confused with other proctological pathologies. Therefore, a consultation with a proctologist is required.

What do internal hemorrhoids look like? Only the dropped node can be recognized. It looks like a tight ball that hurts when pressed.

As events unfold, the patient begins to feel pressure in the rectum, the presence of a “foreign body” there. This means that the size of the bump has reached the limits of discomfort and you should immediately seek qualified help.

Bloody discharge at the initial stage of the disease is a rarity. Most often they occur when the size of the node is large enough. In this case, defecation takes place with complications and requires muscle tension. This leads to a rush of blood to the pelvic organs and the formation of an increased load on the vessels. As a result, it causes cracks.

The first signs of blood on toilet paper, personal care products and stool are a very alarming sign that requires immediate action. Postponing the consultation is no longer acceptable.

Diagnosis of pathology

Treatment of internal hemorrhoids should begin with a visit to a proctologist, who must carefully examine the patient and establish an accurate diagnosis. To do this, the specialist necessarily collects the patient's history, conducts a visual examination of the anal area, evaluates the sphincter, and performs a digital examination of the rectum.

Early diagnosis will help to cure the disease in a short time

If these data are not enough for an accurate diagnosis, the doctor must conduct diagnostic studies: anoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.

How to treat internal hemorrhoids

It was previously noted that the treatment of internal hemorrhoids in women, unlike external, can be carried out using a wider range of methods. This applies not only to medications, but also to minimally invasive methods.

The initial stage of the treatment of the disease is considered to be a drug effect on the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This is done in order to exclude constipation, which in 90% of cases leads to a complication of the disease.

Most often, domestic medicine offers us precisely the medicinal effect on the body in combination with non-drug treatment. So, in addition to the use of rectal suppositories, ointments, tablets and other dosage forms of drugs, the patient is prescribed a special diet and controlled physical activity.

The course of treatment can be supplemented with substances of natural origin, that is, traditional medicine.

Medical treatment

With internal hemorrhoids, according to the appointment of a specialist, laxatives (usually in the form of tablets and pills or drops), anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious, antiseptic (most often topical, that is, suppositories, ointments, etc.), as well as vasostimulators in various forms.

The purpose of the latter is to normalize blood circulation, increase vascular tone, and resistance to damage and sprains.

Phlebotonics improve blood outflow, relieve inflammation, reduce pain

Among the powerful and effective drugs are the French Detralex and the Russian drug Venarus.

If the patient complains of severe pain, then painkillers are prescribed in the form of gels and rectal suppositories. For example, Relief, Proctosan, Ultraproct.

In cases of suspicion and prevention of thrombosis of hemorrhoids, anticoagulants are prescribed in the form of an ointment (Heparin ointment).

If complications already occur, drugs with a powerful effect are prescribed (Proctosedil, Hepatrombin, Proctosan).

If the anal area is inflamed, and there is itching and burning, topical drugs are used (Voltaren, Xefocam).

Rectal suppositories effectively relieve inflammation in the rectum

In cases where hemorrhoids bleed, they resort to the use of special rectal suppositories (Relief, Natalsid) and phlebotonics containing diosmin (Venarus, Detralex).

As part of a consultative or diagnostic appointment, the patient can ask the doctor about what internal hemorrhoids are, what symptoms should be alarming, which treatment plan is most effective in this situation.

It should be noted that the treatment regimen is always individual and depends on the symptoms and causes that occur in a single case history. The stage of development of the disease, the presence of previously manifested relapses, concomitant diseases, etc. also matter.

The primary task of the doctor is to improve the quality of life of the patient by eliminating discomfort and preventing the further development of the disease. As the patient's condition improves, everything possible is done to completely eliminate the disease.

Folk remedies

Treatment at home is effective only at stage 1 of the development of the disease. Rectal suppositories from young raw potatoes will help to quickly relieve inflammation and pain.

Among folk remedies, one can single out: baths with the addition of useful herbs, lotions and enemas, decoctions from useful plants.

Removal of hemorrhoids

In the advanced stages of the disease, surgery is indispensable

The methods of minimally invasive treatment, which have long been tested and approved by Western doctors, are becoming more widespread.
The process of getting rid of the problem is faster. As a rule, several procedures are enough, less often - at all one. The likelihood of relapse, with a reasonable prevention program, falls. At the same time, the possibilities of modern medicine remain at a high level.

If conservative treatment does not give comforting forecasts, and the disease begins to move into the chronic stage, then an operation to remove it is performed in 99% of cases.

In the arsenal of doctors there are many ways to radically remove hemorrhoids. It is pleasant to consider the most popular methods:


Other methods of treating internal hemorrhoids include: ligation of hemorrhoids with latex rings, Longo's operation, desarterization of nodes, hemorrhoidectomy with the LigaSure apparatus.

The use of sclerotherapy, ligation and photocoagulation gives almost 100% the ability to defeat pathology at its various stages.

Prevention of hemorrhoids before or after treatment should be based on proper nutrition, elimination of constipation and diarrhea, hygiene of intimate places, an active lifestyle and basic gymnastic exercises. Girls should take care to prevent illness before pregnancy and childbirth.

Everyone who has encountered hemorrhoids knows how difficult it is to recognize this disease at the beginning of the pathological process and how difficult it is to defeat it in the last stages.

Varicose veins of hemorrhoidal veins are a fairly common problem among the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. The first signs of hemorrhoids are the same in women and men, but the factors leading to the appearance of the disease are somewhat different.

This is due to female physiology, peculiarities of labor activity and lifestyle. About what are the symptoms of proctological disease and how to treat hemorrhoids in women, we will tell further.

The main reason for the formation of proctological disease is the same in all categories of patients - weakness of the venous walls, which can be congenital or acquired.

It leads to impaired blood circulation, delayed outflow of venous blood from the pelvic region, overflow of cavernous formations and the appearance of hemorrhoids.

Important! Many reasons for the appearance of inflamed hemorrhoids in women are no different from the factors that cause this disease in representatives of the strong half of humanity.

General factors for the onset of the disease

Common causes of hemorrhoids relate:

  • heavy physical activity. Today, such a concept as gender activities has practically disappeared. Therefore, many girls and women work in heavy production along with the stronger sex, go in for "male" sports, as a result of which hemorrhoids begin;
  • low mobility. Both women and men are equally employed in the social sphere. And this means that they have to stay at their desk for a long time or stand on their feet almost around the clock. Those who are constantly in such positions are classified as at risk for hemorrhoids;
  • difficulty defecation. With constipation, a person has to make a lot of effort to empty the intestines. As a result of prolonged straining, the hemorrhoidal node overflows with blood, protrudes even more, which then leads to injury by hard feces;
  • malnutrition. Passion for sweets, pickles, spicy and pickled dishes, coffee and carbonated drinks is a traditional factor in the occurrence of hemorrhoidal disease. Such products provoke blood flow to the rectum and, consequently, to cavernous formations.

Similar factors are superimposed on venous insufficiency, which provoke the appearance of hemorrhoidal disease and the further development of the pathological process.

Purely female factors of pathology

The physiology of the female body is such that additional pathogenetic factors are added to the above reasons for the formation of proctological disease.

Causes of hemorrhoids in girls due to

physiological features are:

  • menstrual cycle and hemorrhoids. It is on these “red” days that the blood flow to the pelvic region increases significantly, which is fraught with overflow of venous accumulations. In addition, during critical periods, ladies try to move less, since menstruation is not accompanied by the most pleasant sensations. All these factors together lead to hemorrhoids;
  • gestation and childbirth. Perhaps these are the main causes of hemorrhoids in women. During gestation, the fetus presses on the cavernous formations, which disrupts blood flow. And during labor, contractions and attempts increase the pressure inside the peritoneum of a woman, which is also fraught with negative consequences;
  • diets. Which of the beautiful ladies has not been on a diet? The female sex is overly enthusiastic about dietary nutrition, and this is fraught with a violation of the stool, constipation, and diarrhea. Also, a reduced diet leads to a lack of vitamins and natural fibers. All these nuances increase the risk of hemorrhoids;
  • stress. Do "nervous" women get hemorrhoids? Doctors are convinced that the psycho-emotional factor also increases the risk of developing hemorrhoids. It is known that women are more vulnerable creatures, they react more sharply to various situations, they process them more deeply psychologically.

It should be noted another rather piquant probable cause of the formation of female hemorrhoids. It's about anal sex. Such unconventional proximity often leads to damage to the mucous membrane of the rectal canal and an increase in hemorrhoids.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids in women

Signs of developing hemorrhoids in women are no different from the symptoms of anal varicose veins in the stronger sex. The clinical picture largely depends on the degree of the disease and the presence / absence of complications.

Thus, beginning hemorrhoids in women show symptoms similar to "male" varicose hemorrhoidal veins,

namely:

  • discomfort in the anus;
  • feeling of a foreign body in the rectal ring;
  • itchy sensations in the anorectal region;
  • pain during bowel movements;
  • bleeding during bowel movements.

Anyone who has noted any of the above manifestations of the disease should definitely contact a proctologist for qualified help. At the initial stages, the pathological process is reversible! Difficulties begin with the transition of the disease into a chronic form.

Chronic female hemorrhoids consistently goes through several stages:

  • first stage hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoid nodules are characterized by slight swelling and swelling, they do not go beyond the rectal canal. When diagnosing, swelling of the vessels in the mucosa and some weakening of the muscle structures are visible;
  • second. Cavernous formations increase, thicken and begin to go beyond the rectal canal during bowel movements. Since the muscles are not yet stretched, the nodules return on their own;
  • third. Anal itching and bleeding worse. The exit of the nodules becomes more frequent and occurs due to sneezing, physical activity. The patient has to manually set the hemorrhoids. The muscles in the rectum lose their elasticity;
  • fourth. What is the last degree of hemorrhoids, know the most "persistent" women. This condition is accompanied by massive blood loss, pain. The main problem is the impossibility of repositioning hemorrhoids. Photos of the last stage really cause unpleasant emotions.

Signs of internal hemorrhoids in women are almost identical to the symptoms of the external form of proctological disease. The only exception is a greater risk of bleeding due to constant trauma to the rectal nodules with hard feces.

Chronic hemorrhoids in girls are characterized by an undulating course - relatively favorable periods are replaced by acute clinical symptoms.

With an exacerbation, such a serious complication as thrombosis of the hemorrhoid veins is possible (the photo is available on the network), which is characterized by excruciating pain, cyanosis and swelling of the nodules, and a possible increase in temperature.

Treatment of hemorrhoids in women

Lovely ladies, faced with unpleasant symptoms, scroll through a lot of questions in their heads. How to treat hemorrhoids in women? Which specialist to contact for qualified help?

A coloproctologist treats hemorrhoids in women, who, depending on the form of the disease, determines the most appropriate method of therapy, selects safe and effective medications and recommends ways to prevent the disease.

Conservative treatment

External and internal hemorrhoids in the initial stages are treated most often with the help of locally acting drugs: creams, ointments, gel-like preparations and rectal suppositories.

Such medicines quickly remove such symptoms in women as soreness, itching, burning, bleeding. Topical preparations can help to quickly alleviate the condition and improve well-being.

Many pharmaceuticals have a complex effect: they destroy pathogenic bacteria, relieve swelling and inflammation, stop blood or, on the contrary, prevent the formation of blood clots.

In the case of external hemorrhoids in women, ointment and gel agents are usually used, which are applied to external cavernous formations. The most popular drugs:

  • Relief and Relief Advance;
  • Hepatrombin G;
  • Posterisan;
  • Aurobin;
  • ichthyol ointment;
  • Troxevasin gel;
  • Bezornil.

With a rectal location of hemorrhoids, the use of rectal suppositories is indicated, which heal the mucous membrane, relieve pain and inflammation, and prevent spotting from the anus.

What suppositories treat internal anal varicose veins? The most common and effective suppositories such as:

  • Relief Ultra;
  • Relief;
  • Relief Advance;
  • Natalsid;
  • Procto-Glivenol;
  • Hepatrombin G;
  • sea ​​buckthorn candles;
  • belladonna candles.

With hemorrhoids, complex therapy is usually prescribed, which also includes systemic medications. Most often this venotonic medicines such as:

  • Detralex;
  • Troxevasin;
  • Phlebodia 600;
  • Aescusan;
  • Ginkor Fort.

Such funds fight directly with the main cause of the pathological process, strengthening the venous walls, increasing their tone, improving microcirculation in the pelvic region and relieving the patient of congestion.

Surgical treatments for hemorrhoids

Surgical techniques for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease are prescribed in severe cases, when the symptoms are especially pronounced and complications of the pathological process are observed.

Hemorrhoidectomy - excision and removal of hemorrhoids - has recently been used quite rarely. Firstly, such an intervention is traumatic, and secondly, after its implementation, undesirable consequences may occur.

However, if other methods were powerless or in case of emergency indications, hemorrhoidectomy is prescribed according to Milligan-Morgan, Ferguson. Such operations involve the complete excision of hemorrhoids.

Physicians and patients prefer minimally invasive therapies. They are more easily tolerated by patients, have a short recovery period and a fairly high efficiency. In addition, after such an operation, the rectum will practically not hurt.

The most popular and sought after minimally invasive techniques for removing hemorrhoids are:

  • sclerosing (gluing venous accumulations with a special solution);
  • cryodestruction (destruction of cones with liquid nitrogen);
  • desarterization (constriction of arterial canals);
  • ligation of cones with latex rings (constriction of nodes with a special ligature);
  • photo- and laser coagulation (coagulation of the vascular walls with the help of radiation).

How and how to treat hemorrhoidal disease, the doctor decides. If preference is given to such methods, then the operation will be carried out in an outpatient setting using only local anesthesia (sometimes without it).

The intervention lasts a few minutes, and after a couple of hours the patient can already return home. After a short rehabilitation period, the woman returns to her normal lifestyle.

Folk remedies for hemorrhoids in women

Depending on how hemorrhoids manifest themselves, doctors may advise you to additionally use alternative medicine, which includes the waste products of bees, vegetables and medicinal plants.

Everyone who prefers to use homemade drugs should remember that their use is justified only in the case of complex therapy for proctological disease. Folk remedy for hemorrhoids - "additive" to drug treatment!

Treatment of internal, external hemorrhoids in women is possible with the use of several methods and recipes:

  1. Sitz baths. Such water procedures involve the use of infusions of various medicinal plants: chamomile, St. John's wort, nettle, horse chestnut, onion peel, oak bark. A concentrated decoction is poured into a basin with warm water, in which the buttocks are placed for 20 minutes. Baths with a pink solution of potassium permanganate are also popular.
  2. Homemade ointments. Many patients prepare ointments for themselves at home. The ingredients are honey, propolis, beeswax, vegetable or butter is used for the base. Also, ointments can be made from mumiyo and birch tar.
  3. vegetable suppositories. For women who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it will not be difficult to make rectal suppositories from potatoes and carrots (photos of samples can be found on the net). For ease of insertion, the finished liners are lubricated with honey or sea buckthorn oil.
  4. Compresses. Gauze bandages, rolled up in several layers, are soaked with sea buckthorn oil, decoctions of medicinal plants, potato juice, an aqueous solution of propolis and other natural ingredients. With internal hemorrhoids, you can make a gauze swab.
  5. Microclysters. 50 ml of vegetable oils or chamomile, sage, celandine, onion broth are placed in the syringe. Such ingredients contribute to a rapid decrease in the intensity of symptoms: inflammation, soreness, bleeding.
  6. Ice packs. If hemorrhoids are very sore, ice suppositories or lotions with cold water will help. Such funds are applied for a short time to inflamed or bleeding nodules.

Why is the unauthorized choice of folk remedies dangerous? A woman who is fond of alternative medicine to the detriment of drug treatment can start a pathological process.

Balanced diet

The question of what to eat with hemorrhoidal disease is extremely relevant for patients seeking to get rid of negative symptoms. That is why doctors recommend that women follow a special diet that will help normalize the digestive tract and prevent constipation.

  • sweets and confectionery;
  • chocolate
  • strong tea and coffee drinks;
  • pasta and bread;
  • legume vegetables.

In the diet of girls should include more fresh fruits, which contain many vitamins and natural dietary fiber. Such products improve the functioning of the intestines and relieve constipation.

Also doctors advised to drink:

  • green tea;
  • some juices;
  • broths, berry and fruit fruit drinks;
  • dried fruit compotes;
  • kefir and bifidok.

Drinking the optimal amount of liquid (about 8 glasses) improves intestinal motility and softens fecal matter. And this helps to get rid of problems with bowel movements.

Preventive actions

It is not enough to cure hemorrhoids, it is necessary to prevent its return and exacerbation. In addition, the doctor's recommendations will help prevent the occurrence of varicose hemorrhoidal veins.

Medical advice concerns hygiene requirements, physical activity and the implementation of special gymnastic exercises that will appeal to lovely ladies.

  1. It is necessary to conduct an "audit" of your own lifestyle by adjusting the menu. It is important to use the above products, giving up harmful dishes. In addition, you need to eat more often in small portions to improve the functioning of the digestive tract.
  2. Alcoholic drinks and nicotine are generally harmful to women's health, but the rejection of them is extremely useful in the treatment of anal varicose veins.
  3. When visiting the restroom, it is categorically not recommended to push for a long time and with effort. It is important to have a bowel movement for one minute, then wipe the anorectal area with soft toilet paper or wash the perineum with water.
  4. Proctologists advise women to “move” more, go in for swimming, walking, and allowed sports. When sedentary labor activity, you need to take short pauses, during which you perform the simplest exercises.
  5. Any day should begin with special gymnastics, which strengthens the muscles of the pelvic floor and rectal canal. For example, this is a Kegel exercise or some yoga poses. It is better to make a set of exercises together with the doctor.

All these measures are especially important during childbearing. Preventive measures will help prevent the occurrence of varicose hemorrhoidal veins in expectant mothers, since treatment during pregnancy is significantly limited.

Hemorrhoids in girls, its causes, symptoms and methods of therapy are practically no different from the male version of the disease. The most important thing for a woman is to seek medical help in time.

Which drug or method of treatment to choose in each case, the proctologist will decide after examining the patient and determining the stage of the pathological process.

Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women may be absent for a long time, so it remains undetected. The disease, which is characterized by the formation of hemorrhoids, in the later stages brings the patient a lot of inconvenience, contributes to the development of dangerous complications.

Internal hemorrhoids may not appear for a long time.

Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids

The first signs of the disease will be as follows:

  • pain in the anus, aggravated during bowel movements;
  • sensation of a foreign body in the rectum;
  • bleeding from the anus;
  • the appearance of mucous secretions associated with the relaxation of the anal sphincter;
  • itching and burning of the skin of the anal area;
  • pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen;
  • discomfort in the anus during bowel movements.

A disease such as internal hemorrhoids is characterized by the expansion of the veins of the rectum, which do not fall out even when they reach a large size. They clog the lumen of the organ, preventing the movement of feces. As a result, a woman begins to suffer from constipation, in which severe pain occurs.

Hemorrhoids interfere with the exit of feces, which leads to constipation.

The following factors contribute to the development of internal hemorrhoids:

  1. Sedentary lifestyle. With prolonged sitting, blood lingers in the vessels of the lower half of the body, which leads to stretching of the venous walls.
  2. Intestinal infections accompanied by diarrhea. Liquid feces irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive organs, which creates conditions for vascular damage.
  3. Frequent constipation. Contribute to an increase in pressure in the veins of the anus.
  4. Overstrain of the pelvic floor muscles with a constant stay in a standing position. Leads to stagnation of blood in the vessels of the rectum.
  5. Age changes. As the body ages, the vascular walls begin to lose their elasticity and stretch. Against the background of these processes, internal hemorrhoids are formed.
  6. Atrophy of the muscles surrounding the rectum.
  7. Non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, the use of low-quality toilet paper.
  8. Alcohol abuse. After drinking alcohol, blood flow to the pelvic organs is observed.
  9. Excessive physical activity. Lifting weights increases pressure in the abdominal organs.
  10. Psycho-emotional overload. Stress often happens in a woman's life, it has been proven that they disrupt the work of the whole organism.
  11. Other pathologies of the rectum. In the presence of tumors and polyps, the blood supply to the mucous membranes increases, the vessels expand.
  12. The period of pregnancy and childbirth. The growing uterus displaces the organs of the small pelvis and abdominal cavity, which leads to impaired blood circulation. Childbirth aggravates the severity of the course of the disease, in which the fetus moving through the birth canal compresses the internal nodes.
  13. Wrong nutrition. Intestinal peristalsis is disturbed by the use of spicy and fatty foods, smoked meats, pastries. Persistent constipation is a direct path to internal hemorrhoids.

Like many other diseases, internal hemorrhoids go through 4 stages of development, each of which has its own characteristics.

It is characterized by the presence of an internal knot of small size, which does not cause inconvenience to a woman. Injury to the cones during constipation leads to their inflammation. From the anus, a liquid begins to stand out, irritating the skin. The patient feels itching and burning in the anus. In a laboratory study of feces, occult blood may be detected. Most women experience discomfort after a bowel movement.

Internal hemorrhoids increase, the feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and the sensation of a foreign body in the rectum increase. During defecation, increased physical exertion, or a coughing fit, dilated veins protrude from the anus, hiding again after a while. Traces of blood appear on the toilet paper, there is pain and burning in the anus.

Hemorrhoids go through four stages of development.

This stage is characterized by a pronounced increase in internal nodes, in which they can fall out of the rectum even with light loads. During defecation, prolapse occurs every time. Such cones are set manually. These signs contribute to the development of complications associated with inflammation, blockage or infringement of the nodes.

The most severe form of hemorrhoids, characterized by the constant presence of prolapsed nodes and the development of dangerous complications.

Treatment of internal hemorrhoids in women

In the early stages, the disease can be treated with medication.

Minimally invasive and surgical interventions are prescribed for a pronounced increase in internal nodes.

Medical

For internal hemorrhoids in women, use:

  • Venotonics (Phlebodia, Detralex). Influence the cause of the disease. Strengthen the walls of blood vessels, increase their tone, prevent the formation of blood clots. Funds must be taken in long courses - from 3 months.
  • Rectal suppositories (Posterisan, Relief). They help to reduce the size of internal nodes, relieve pain, itching and burning.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Nimesil). Quickly eliminates swelling and pain, relieves signs of skin irritation.
  • Laxatives (Forlax, Guttalax). Normalize intestinal peristalsis, prevent further increase in internal nodes, reduce the intensity of pain during defecation.
  • Anticoagulants (heparin). They thin the blood, preventing blockage of the hemorrhoidal veins.
  • Ointments (Relief, Aurobin). They are prescribed in the late stages of the disease, accompanied by prolapse of cones.

Minimally invasive treatments

Minimally invasive interventions are highly effective and have a short recovery period. For internal hemorrhoids, your doctor may prescribe:

  1. Sclerosis. The essence of the method of sclerotherapy is the introduction of a chemical substance into the tissues of the node, which promotes gluing of the walls of the vessel. The method is recommended for the treatment of mild forms of internal hemorrhoids, in which the bumps are small. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia.
  2. Ligation. Ligation of hemorrhoids is carried out by means of latex rings. The device prevents the flow of blood into the dilated vessel, due to which the tissues are rejected 2 weeks after the procedure. The operation does not require a stay in the hospital and the introduction of anesthetics.
  3. Bipolar electrocoagulation. A high-frequency electric current acts on the leg of the node, due to which the tissues die. The method is effective in the early stages of hemorrhoids. After the wound heals, a small scar remains.
  4. Photocoagulation. During the procedure, a laser beam is directed to the dilated veins of the rectum. The vessels heat up, the blood coagulates, the lumen is further filled with connective tissue. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
  5. Cryotherapy. Internal hemorrhoids are treated with liquid nitrogen, the tissues are frozen, necrosis and rejection of the bumps occur. After the procedure, a wound remains, which heals in 7-10 days. The intervention is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
  6. Desarterization. It implies ligation of the arteries responsible for the blood supply to the bump. It is performed under epidural anesthesia.

With dearterization, the hemorrhoid is deprived of blood flow and dies.

Surgical treatments for hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoidectomy is prescribed for 3-4 stages of internal hemorrhoids, when the bumps greatly increase and block the intestinal lumen. During the operation, a section of the mucosa located above the node is dissected. Skin-mucosal bridges in the process of removing cones are preserved. The wound may be sutured or left open.

Folk recipes

To eliminate discomfort and reduce the size of dilated vessels at home, use:

  1. Rowan juice. It is taken 50 ml 3 times a day. You can add sugar or honey.
  2. Potato candles. A suppository-like figure is cut out of a raw potato. The candle is gently inserted into the anus. A similar remedy is made from candied honey.
  3. Cool baths with a decoction of chamomile, yarrow, oak bark. 2 tbsp. l. raw materials are poured into 1 liter of water, boiled for 10-20 minutes. The finished broth is poured into a basin with warm water. A sitz bath is taken for half an hour.
  4. Ice candles. Forms are made from thick paper, which are filled with water and cooled. Ready suppositories are introduced into the anus, after breaking off the sharp part.
  5. Lotions from potato juice.

Complications of internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids in women can be complicated by:

  1. Inflammation of hemorrhoids. The disease is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, a decrease in appetite, severe pain that makes movement difficult.
  2. Purulent paraproctitis. Inflammation of the tissues surrounding the rectum requires emergency surgical intervention. Otherwise, pus can enter the abdominal cavity and cause peritonitis.
  3. Thrombosis of dilated vessels. The main symptom is a sharp pain that radiates to the perineum and lower limbs. The pathology is removed surgically.
  4. iron deficiency anemia. It develops against the background of constant intestinal bleeding.

Preventive actions

To prevent the development of internal hemorrhoids help:

  • use of soft toilet paper;
  • washing with cool water after each act of defecation;
  • wearing underwear made from natural fabrics;
  • the introduction of moderate physical activity into the daily regimen.

Balanced diet

Eat in small portions, 5-6 times a day. The diet includes fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. Drink a glass of clean water in the morning on an empty stomach. Limit the consumption of confectionery and flour products, potatoes. Lean meat and fish, cereals, dairy products, soups are introduced into the diet.

Hemorrhoids is a pathology of the veins of the rectum, in which varicose veins are formed in the form of nodules. Both women and men suffer from this disease equally, but women have more reasons for the development of pathology.

internal hemorrhoids

What are internal hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are the initial stage of the disease, when the nodes are still under the mucous membrane. At first, the disease is asymptomatic, but as soon as the nodes reach a certain size, with a digital examination of the intestine, it becomes possible to probe them, the first symptoms appear.

Internal bleeding hemorrhoids

The disease affects about 7% of the world's population, and it is rather a disaster in civilized countries, where people spend most of the day in one position.

For reference! Internal hemorrhoids in 80% of cases develop in women giving birth.

The reasons

Hemorrhoids are basically an acquired disease. However, in some cases it occurs due to hereditary predisposition. For example, even at the stage of embryonic development, enlarged cavernous formations are formed, as a result of which in the future there will be a tendency to develop internal hemorrhoids.

Otherwise, the reasons are quite predictable and are mainly related to lifestyle:

  1. Lack of physical activity and sedentary work.

    Sedentary work

  2. Poor nutrition and insufficient fluid intake that lead to constipation.

    Improper nutrition

  3. Excessive exercise, heavy lifting.

    Hemorrhoids after lifting weights

  4. Overweight.

    Obesity and overweight

In addition, internal hemorrhoids can be provoked by:

  • tumor formations in the small pelvis that disrupt blood circulation and intestinal motility;
  • intestinal infections;
  • injuries of the rectum, damage to its mucosa;
  • atrophy of the muscles of the rectum.

All of the above applies to both women and men. However, women have a number of additional reasons.

  1. period of menstruation. During it, the flow of blood to the pelvis increases, as a result, the veins in the rectum can swell and any provoking factor at this moment can trigger the formation of nodes.

    During menstruation, the risk of developing internal hemorrhoids increases.

  2. Pregnancy. During the period of bearing a baby, a woman's body changes dramatically. The fetus presses on the internal organs, defecation occurs less frequently and more difficult, blood circulation in the pelvis is disturbed.

    The position of the fetus in the uterus at the end of pregnancy

  3. Childbirth. Throughout the entire period of childbirth, a woman experiences a whole palette of pain in the pelvic area. At the same time, she pushes, pushes the baby out, and the intestinal veins experience tremendous stress. The result is nodes.

    After childbirth, women often experience hemorrhoids.

Basically, the triggers for the occurrence of hemorrhoids are: weak vessel walls and increased rectal pressure.

Symptoms

Internal hemorrhoids are characterized by an asymptomatic onset. The whole trouble is that it could be started to be treated at an early stage, but, unfortunately, there are no external signs.

As the nodes enlarge, symptoms appear in sequence. There are several stages in the development of pathology.

Stages of development

Since the expansion of the veins is still small and the nodes are just being formed, they do not bring inconvenience. However, if bowel movements are difficult due to constipation, feces can damage the mucous membrane and then there is a slight inflammation. At the same time, burning and moisture are felt near the anus due to the discharge of exudate. Sometimes there are bloody blotches, but they are difficult to see with the naked eye. In general, discomfort is felt after a bowel movement.
If no measures are taken at the first stage, the internal form passes to the next stage of development. The nodes increase, there is an unpleasant feeling of a foreign body in the intestine. With a strong load, the nodes go beyond the anus, but at this stage they can still retract on their own. Emptying brings severe pain. Already noticeable bleeding during defecation. Due to constant blood loss, anemia can develop.
The inflamed bumps become so large that they fall out with any load, even the smallest one. They can no longer retract on their own, so they need to be set manually. Sitting at this stage is unbearable, the pain becomes very severe, the bleeding increases. There are cracks in the rectum.
At this stage, the disease is already extremely advanced. The knots are constantly protruding and cannot be set inward. The pain is constant, aggravated by walking and trying to sit.

In addition to the fact that the disease itself causes a lot of unpleasant feelings, additional complications can develop.

  1. Thrombosis. Prolonged stagnation of blood in the veins of the rectum can provoke thrombosis and necrosis of the nodes. On examination, such formations look like blue-violet or black bumps, their palpation causes sharp pain.

    Types of thrombosis

  2. Anemia. The constant loss of blood causes a decrease in hemoglobin, resulting in weakness, dizziness.
  3. Anal sphincter insufficiency. Prolonged prolapse of the nodes leads to the fact that the muscles of the intestine are not able to contain gases or feces, as a result, emptying can occur at any time.

    Dropping nodes

Diagnostics

If, in the presence of any discomfort after emptying the intestines, there are suspicions of hemorrhoids, you should immediately contact a proctologist. With such a delicate problem, many women hesitate to go to a specialist, hoping that everything will go away on its own. However, this is an erroneous opinion, and further, most likely, all of the above symptoms will begin to develop, and the treatment will be painful.

During the initial examination, the doctor conducts a digital examination of the intestine and collects an anamnesis.

Digital rectal examination

Putting on sterile gloves, the specialist probes the walls of the intestine with his index finger, revealing the places where varicose veins have developed. The doctor determines the approximate number of nodes, their location, size, degree of pain. At this time, he will ask the patient questions about how he feels, it is necessary to answer how painful this or that manipulation is.

Digital examination of the rectum

The formations themselves are dense to the touch, heterogeneous in structure, embossed, they bleed easily when pressed with a finger.

Other diagnostic methods

  1. Anoscopy. A special tube with illumination is inserted into the rectum, thanks to which it is possible to examine the organ to a depth of 10 cm.

    Anoscopy

  2. Endoscopy. A special probe can be inserted into the anus to a depth of up to 25 cm. In this case, detailed information is collected about the condition of the intestinal walls, the number of nodes. In addition, thanks to this method, it is possible to take a sample of material for a biopsy.

    Endoscopic examination of the rectum

  3. Irrigoscopy. A method based on the introduction of a contrast agent into the intestine and its subsequent study with the help of X-rays.

    Irrigoscopy

Before any instrumental examination of the rectum, it is necessary to make a cleansing enema.

Treatment

The treatment of hemorrhoids must be approached with all responsibility. At the first stage, it is possible to eliminate the disease at home.

For these purposes, rectal suppositories and ointments for hemorrhoids are well suited.

Popular ointments:

  • "Troxevasin";
  • "Heparin ointment";
  • "Relief";
  • "Hepatrombin";
  • "Posterized".

Troxevasin for hemorrhoids

Popular rectal suppositories:

  • candles with sea buckthorn;
  • candles with propolis;
  • "Relief ultra";
  • "Procto-glivenol".

"Procto-glivenol"

Substances that are contained in ointments and suppositories are quickly absorbed into the mucous membrane and begin their work. The action of such drugs is aimed at suppressing inflammation, improving the condition of blood vessels, regenerating damaged tissues, restoring local immunity, and antibiotic therapy.

It should be remembered that it is better to coordinate the preparations with the doctor. Depending on the stage of hemorrhoids and the severity of symptoms, highly specialized agents may be used.

  1. With severe pain, ointments and suppositories with an antispasmodic effect are used: Nigepan, Olestezin, Ultraprokt.

    Rectal ointment

  2. To eliminate inflammation, medications containing glucocorticosteroids (prednisolone, cortisol) are needed: Proctosedil, Aurobin.

    "Proctosedyl"

  3. To stop bleeding, drugs containing anticoagulants are used, which improve blood clotting, accelerate tissue regeneration: Alginatol.

    "Alginatol"

  4. To prevent and treat vein thrombosis, agents containing heparin are used: Hepatrombin, Nigepan.

    "Hepatrombin"

  5. To strengthen and increase the tone of the walls of blood vessels, drugs such as Troxegel, Phleboton are used.

    "Troxegel"

For the treatment of hemorrhoids, especially in the second and subsequent stages, it is necessary to use general remedies, namely tablets.

The following groups of drugs are usually prescribed:

  • phlebotonics;
  • angioprotectors;
  • hemostatics;
  • painkillers.
  • "Detralex";
  • "Venarus";
  • "Flebodia";
  • "Pilex";
  • "Chemoroidin".

Phytopreparation "Hemoroidin"

If conservative treatment fails, minimally invasive therapy is used.

  1. Cryodestruction. The essence of the method lies in the fact that the hemorrhoids are treated with ultra-low temperature using liquid nitrogen. There is instant necrosis and removal of damaged tissues. However, this method is contraindicated in thrombosis of the nodes or inflammation of the perineum and anal canal. The procedure is suitable for the initial and middle stages of the disease.

  2. Photocoagulation. Nodule removal method using infrared irradiation. The procedure lasts only a few seconds, during which the knot simply collapses, leaving behind a small crust, which then comes out during a bowel movement. The method is contraindicated in the presence of pathologies of the anal canal, as well as in the 3rd and 4th stages of hemorrhoids.

  3. Ligation with latex rings. The essence of the method is that special latex rings are put on the nodes, which compress the vessels supplying blood to the node. As a result, in a few days it simply dies off and falls off, and then comes out naturally through the anus.

  4. Sclerotherapy. The method consists in introducing sclerosant preparations into the nodes themselves. Thanks to them, the walls of the veins begin to stick together, the blood supply is disturbed and the node gradually dries up. The procedure is contraindicated in case of anal fissures, bleeding, mixed hemorrhoids.

In severe forms of hemorrhoids, surgery is indicated when the doctor excises the nodes. At the same time, recovery after surgery is long and difficult.

Diet for hemorrhoids

Be sure to exercise throughout the day. Even with sedentary work, you should get up every 40-60 minutes and do a little warm-up. It will be good not just to walk, but, for example, to go up and down the stairs several floors, so that the blood circulation in the pelvis increases.

Physiotherapy

Hemorrhoids - a disease characterized by inflammatory processes of hemorrhoids located on the inner wall of the rectum, near the anus. Hemorrhoids are called painfully dilated veins that form folds and nodes on the mucous surface of the rectum.

Sometimes whole plexuses of such nodes are formed - hemorrhoidal bumps. Stagnation and overvoltage in these areas shift the nodes closer to the exit, where, with impaired blood supply, an unnatural increase in their size and deformation occurs.

Reasons for development

Hemorrhoids are a delicate problem that patients are embarrassed to talk about. For this reason, the disease is often diagnosed in advanced stages. The main etiological factors for the occurrence of hemorrhoids are:

  1. Pregnancy and childbirth. Unfortunately, such a physiological process as pregnancy with subsequent childbirth can also become the occurrence of hemorrhoids. This is due to overfilling of the pelvic veins and an increase in pressure in them.
  2. Sedentary lifestyle. The lack of regular physical activity, which affects most of the inhabitants of our planet who are not involved in sports, is also a risk factor in terms of the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Many modern people neglect physical activity, replacing it with passive relaxation near the TV with a bag of chips and a bottle of beer. Sedentary work in the absence of physical activity is the main cause of stagnation of blood in the small pelvis.
  3. Wrong and unbalanced diet. Hemorrhoids are more common in people who overeat. Abundant intake of fried and fatty foods, as well as sweets, smoked meats is one of the main risk factors in terms of the occurrence of this disease. An aggravating factor in the development of the disease is the lack of sour-milk products, cereals and products containing fiber - fruits and vegetables in the diet. Improper nutrition is the main cause of constipation, which leads to increased pressure on the pelvic vascular plexus. Then there is stagnation of blood in the small pelvis, which leads to the appearance of internal hemorrhoids, the symptoms of which may not be significant at first, but become more intense over time. An adequate diet with plenty of fiber is one of the main preventive methods to prevent hemorrhoids. It should be noted that low fluid intake can also be the cause of hemorrhoids.
  4. Excessive physical activity. Hemorrhoids are often found in athletes who regularly lift heavy objects and experience increased physical exertion. In the risk group for the incidence of hemorrhoids are people who are professionally involved in weightlifting, bodybuilding, power sports.

The occurrence of hemorrhoids can also be provoked by other diseases, such as pelvic tumors, poor heredity (history of hemorrhoids in parents and close relatives).

Symptoms of internal hemorrhoids, photo

At first, the signs of internal hemorrhoids do not really bother the patient. Symptoms begin to increase as the hemorrhoids increase. The clinical picture depends on the stage of the pathological process.

1) The first stage. Cavernous formations are small, so the protrusion of the mucosa is of little concern to a person. Only occasionally, when they are damaged by hard feces, inflammation occurs. The very first symptoms of hemorrhoids are as follows:

  • feeling of discomfort in the rectal canal after a bowel movement;
  • burning and itching in the anorectal region due to inflammatory exudate (fluid) secreted by blood vessels;
  • occasionally detectable blood marks on toilet paper after using the restroom.

2) The second stage. If hemorrhoids are not treated, the pathological process in the rectum only intensifies, moving to a more severe stage, which is characterized by:

  • an even greater increase in hemorrhoidal nodules;
  • the exit of enlarged cavernous formations from the rectum (usually during defecation) and their independent return to their usual place;
  • discomfort and feeling of finding a foreign object in the anus;
  • more intense bleeding;
  • pain when going to the restroom.

3) The third stage. The clinical picture "increases", the severity of negative symptoms only increases:

  • bleeding from the rectum becomes more frequent and intensifies;
  • hemorrhoidal cones with any physical activity come out of the anus, while you have to insert them back with your own hands;
  • soreness also increases, especially if anal fissures and inflammation join hemorrhoids.

4) The fourth stage. This is an advanced form of the disease, in which all signs of varicose hemorrhoidal veins are expressed as clearly as possible:

  • the pain syndrome is constantly present, and such simple actions as moving and sitting only aggravate the pain;
  • cavernous formations regularly sag, and it is not possible to insert them back into the anus on their own;
  • bleeding can be so intense that it is difficult to stop.

The rate of increase in adverse symptoms largely depends on the number of pathogenic factors and the characteristics of the human body.

What internal hemorrhoids look like is shown in the photo below.

Complications

Complications of internal hemorrhoids include:

  • vein thrombosis;
  • infringement of hemorrhoids;
  • prolapse of varicose formations;
  • rectal bleeding;
  • insufficiency of the anal sphincter.

Hemorrhoids lead to stagnation of blood in the veins, and this causes thrombosis. Symptoms of this complication are an increase in nodes, their acquisition of a bluish-purple hue and sharp pains in the perianal region, which increase during palpation.

A frequent complication of stages III-IV is constant bleeding from the cavernous bodies. With it, the patient complains of general weakness (due to increasing anemia). Analyzes show a drop in blood hemoglobin to 40-50 g / l.

In elderly patients, frequent prolapse of nodes against the background of progressive hemorrhoids in some cases leads to weakness of the anal sphincter. This complication is manifested by incontinence of gases and even the contents of the rectum (liquid fecal matter).

Diagnostics

A proctologist can determine the presence of internal hemorrhoids after examination and palpation. If hemorrhoids are located at a distance of 5-7 cm from the anus, then the doctor will be able to feel them, determine the density and soreness of the node. In other cases, when venous seals are located higher in the rectum, additional diagnostics will be required.

The main test that can detect hemorrhoids is called an anoscopy. During the procedure, a thin anotube with an optical device at the end is inserted into the rectal cavity. The tube allows you to assess the condition of the rectum to a depth of 10 centimeters. The doctor can not only detect the presence of hemorrhoids, but also identify rectal fissures, pararectal fistulas, or even intestinal tumors that give the same symptoms as internal hemorrhoids.

A more informative study is sigmoidoscopy. The design of the device allows you to see the state of the intestine at a depth of up to 25 cm. Also, the doctor may prescribe a colonoscopy procedure to distinguish intra-intestinal polyps from hemorrhoids.

How to treat hemorrhoids?

With internal hemorrhoids, the following groups of drugs are prescribed for complex treatment:

  1. Anti-inflammatory drugs. As a rule, local remedies are used: ointments and suppositories. They can be either non-steroidal (indomethacin suppositories) or steroidal (ointments and suppositories with hydrocortisone).
  2. Venotonics. For example, Detralex, Phlebodia, Vasoket are used in tablets. Tablets and suppositories are also produced, which contain horse chestnut extract. These drugs increase the elasticity of the vascular wall and prevent stretching of the veins.
  3. Analgesics. For pain relief, both non-steroidal analgesics and local anesthetics are used. For example, candles with belladonna, menthol.
  4. Thrombolytics and microcirculation correctors. They prevent the formation of blood clots in hemorrhoids. Available in the form of ointments and suppositories (heparin, troxevasin).
  5. Healing agents. These drugs stimulate tissue regeneration, including sea buckthorn oil, propolis, methyluracil.
  6. Antiseptics. Suppress the development of the infectious process in the hemorrhoids. They can be both natural (calendula, sea buckthorn) and pharmaceutical (ichthyol, phenol).
  7. Hemostatic drugs. Used in the form of tablets (Vikasol) and suppositories (thrombin, adrenaline).

Most drugs cause various adverse reactions, their use is carried out under medical supervision.

Operation

In the event that conservative methods do not help, they resort to surgical intervention.

  1. Ligation with latex rings is used in the second (third) stage of internal hemorrhoids. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis using an anoscope. The bottom line is that hemorrhoids are pinched with special latex rings, as a result, the problem is solved by itself - the supply of blood to the nodules is disrupted, and they simply die off. The procedure is effective and inexpensive, but rather painful and long - only one node can be processed in one session.
  2. Infrared photocoagulation is performed under local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization of the patient. With this method, the affected area is treated with light waves of the infrared spectrum, which leads to the cessation of blood supply and the drying of the node. The disadvantage of this method is the risk of thrombus formation at the site of cauterization.

According to indications, sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, cryotherapy can be used. However, the most effective and cardinal way to solve the problem is hemorrhoidectomy - the removal of hemorrhoids by the usual surgical method.

Folk remedies: ointments and suppositories

For the treatment of internal nodes, the same ointments are used as external ones. It is necessary to abundantly soak a gauze swab with ointment and insert it into the anus overnight. Candles for rectal use are prepared from ice, it is possible from potatoes, lard or honey.

  • To prepare candles, a special cone-like shape is first made using thick paper. Then such a cone is filled with a prepared product, which is placed in the refrigerator for freezing. Before using self-made candles, the paper wrapper is removed. The filler of lard or crushed celandine is good in that it reduces pain and knots in size. The same effect can be obtained from pre-candied honey. In addition, sometimes honey is mixed with mummy. To keep the candles in shape, starch and flour are added to their preparation.
  • In order to prepare candles from potatoes, it is necessary to cut a candle in the shape of a cone from a raw, pre-washed tuber. Then insert it into the anus at night. To avoid feelings of discomfort and dryness, the anus is lubricated with vegetable oil or honey. Candles made from ice do an excellent job of bleeding from internal hemorrhoids. For their preparation, water is frozen in a cone-like shape. Before the introduction, the paper form is removed from the ice candle.

As enemas for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, decoctions of their medicinal herbs are used. They also use oils that have a therapeutic effect, solutions from oils, mummy, plant juices, propolis. These enemas must be administered into the rectum. Strawberry leaves, wormwood, beetroot juice, calendula, chamomile, St. John's wort, sage and other herbal preparations are suitable for their preparation. Healing infusions help reduce the size of nodes, pain, itching, burning.

Diet food

The main focus of the diet is to eat foods that do not cause constipation and bowel problems. The daily diet should include foods filled with fiber, so you need to eat a lot of vegetables, fruits and all kinds of cereals. It is important to consume dairy products and lean meats. Food should be boiled or steamed.

You should not use:

  • pickles;
  • canned food;
  • fatty and fried foods;
  • spicy dishes;
  • smoked meats;
  • alcohol;
  • coffee.

It is important to ensure that the body receives a sufficient amount of fluid, for this you should drink at least 2 liters of water per day.

How to prevent the appearance of hemorrhoids?

Effective treatment of this disease is impossible without preventive measures. Each patient must know not only how to treat hemorrhoids, but also how to avoid its occurrence.

  1. Eliminate constipation. A special diet, as well as laxatives, will help in this.
  2. Eliminate heavy physical exertion and lift weights correctly.
  3. Lead an active lifestyle: walks, gymnastics, physical education.
