As the temperature drops these days, you should pay attention to your 'anus' health. In winter, the number of patients visiting hospitals for hemorrhoid treatment increases. This is because the cold weather causes the anus and surrounding areas to become cold, leading to blood vessel constriction and poor blood circulation. Hemorrhoids refer to a group of conditions that occur in the anus. The main types include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anal fistulas. Hemorrhoids involve the protrusion or bleeding of blood vessel tissue around the anus, anal fissures are tears in the anus, and anal fistulas are abscesses or pus trapped in the anus. Hemorrhoids account for about 70-80% of all hemorrhoidal conditions, making them the most common.

 

◇ Severe pain may occur after drinking alcohol

 

Hemorrhoids tend to develop more as people age. It can be considered proportional to the frequency of bowel movements. The more bowel movements a person has, the more the anus ages, increasing the likelihood of hemorrhoids. In young people, hemorrhoids mainly develop due to improper bowel habits. Chronic constipation, diarrhea, and habits of sitting on the toilet for long periods influence this.

 

Spicy and刺激ful foods are also not good. Spicy ingredients are not absorbed in the intestines and pass through the stomach, irritating the intestinal mucosa or blood vessels around the anus. There are also occupational factors. Writers, drivers, and other people who sit for long periods are more prone to hemorrhoids because blood tends to pool inside the anal blood vessels, causing the vessels to expand.

Hemorrhoids do not cause pain in the early stages. They only cause a slight dull ache when they are severely prolapsed outside the anus. However, when sitting for a long time, feeling tired, drinking alcohol, or suddenly putting strain on the anus, hemorrhoids can swell, and this is when the pain becomes intense. This is because blood flow is restricted, leading to stagnation and inflammation inside.

 

If early, symptoms can be alleviated with medication.

 

For early hemorrhoids at stages 1 to 2, medication treatments such as hemostatic agents and peripheral circulation blood enhancers are used. In mild cases, taking medication for a few days can eliminate anal bleeding. It is also important to first check for the presence of constipation. If constipation is present, it should be treated first by increasing dietary fiber and other measures depending on the cause, to reduce the time spent sitting on the toilet. If constipation is severe, it is better to ensure that bowel movements are regular before surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. For hemorrhoids at stage 3 or higher, surgery should be considered. The most traditional surgical method is hemorrhoidectomy, which involves removing the hemorrhoid tissue protruding outside the anus.

 

The priority to prevent hemorrhoids and other anal conditions is to always keep bowel movements short.

 

Resolve within 5 minutes and get up immediately. The toilet bowl is open in the center, which puts more pressure on the anus compared to sitting on a regular chair, worsening hemorrhoids. Constipation and diarrhea should also be treated in advance. Busy modern people often skip meals and do not drink water frequently. To prevent constipation, drink more than 1.5 liters of water daily and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables high in dietary fiber. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Anal fissures are also caused by stress, so it is important to develop healthy stress-relief habits rather than drinking alcohol. Since anal fistulas are caused by infected anal glands, there are no specific preventive measures.
