Hemorrhoids are quite a dangerous disease, with the development of which veins in the anus and rectum are expanding.
With the development of this disease, outflow of blood from the veins is disrupted. The patient complains of the appearance of pain, bleeding and burning.
Hemorrhoids in a number of cases can be accompanied by an increased body temperature, which varies from 37 to 40 degrees.
Causes of temperature increase
Depending on the form of the disease, the reasons for the increase in temperature can be varied.
If the patient has a chronic form of the disease, then initially there is no increase in temperature. But in the future, when the inflammatory process proceeds, an elevated temperature may be observed.
The acute form of the disease is characterized by the swelling of the blood vessels of the hemorrhoids, which leads to the formation of hemorrhoidal cones.
Body temperature in this case rises within a few days. Sepsis is characterized by redness, swelling and soreness of the skin. During this period, the patient is spreading the infection, which leads to an increase in temperature.
With hemorrhoids, thrombosis develops as a result of the spread of infection throughout the body through cracks in the hemorrhoids. When the inflammatory process is intensified, the patient experiences an increase in body temperature.
Paraproctitis is a dangerous complication of hemorrhoids. Disease is the main cause of fever, if the patient has hemorrhoids. This is due to the fact that the inflammation can pass to the tissues of the rectum.
The complication of hemorrhoids is a pararectal abscess, which raises body temperature.
Increased temperature can be observed with a variety of complications of hemorrhoids.
Features of temperature changes
Increased body temperature in a patient can be observed in a variety of forms of the disease. If a patient has an exacerbation of hemorrhoids, then this can lead to the development of sepsis.
In this case, the temperature rises to a value of 38-40 degrees. The skin of the perineum of the patient is characterized by pronounced red color, sensitivity and very high temperature.
This complication is characterized by the penetration of bacteria into the blood. Combat complications can only be through surgical intervention.
If the infection in the rectal mucosa penetrates through cracks and ulcers of the hemorrhoids, this leads to thrombosis.
If the patient has a hard physical work, abuses alcoholic beverages, has an improper diet, this leads to an aggravation of the inflammatory process.
In this case, the body temperature can rise to a value of 38-39 degrees. This indicates the onset of complications. In some cases, this situation can cause necrosis of the thrombosed sections of the vessels.
Untimely treatment of a pararectal abscess can lead to penetration of pus into the abdominal cavity.
The result of this phenomenon may be intoxication of the human body. Treatment of this complication should be done immediately. Otherwise, its course can lead to death.
The temperature in hemorrhoids of various forms and its complications can rise sharply or gradually. Its index can reach 40 degrees.
Complications of hemorrhoids and temperature
With the development of this disease, a variety of complications occur as a result of untimely treatment of the initial stages of hemorrhoids.
The most common complications are as follows:
- sepsis;
- thrombosis;
- paraproctitis.
Untimely treatment of the acute form of hemorrhoids leads to the development of sepsis. During this period, the patient not only raises the temperature, but also there are strong painful sensations.
If the infection spreads to the rectal mucosa and further, this indicates the development of sepsis. This can cause a sufficiently high temperature. This complication is characterized by the presence of fever in the patient.
The absence of treatment for inflammation of the hemorrhoidal nodes leads to the appearance of paraproctitis. This complication necessarily raises the temperature.
This is because the healthy intestinal microflora is suppressed by staphylococci, streptococci and other diverse pathogenic microorganisms. In this pathological state, fever is combined with a fever in the patient.
In order to prevent irreversible consequences of the patient, it is necessary not only to hospitalize, but also to appoint him the right treatment in a hospital.
Paraproctitis is dangerous for the possibility of penetration of pus into the abdominal cavity. If such a pathology occurs, the patient needs medical intervention. Doctors can use medication or operate the patient.
In the development of thrombosis, the patient has a subfebrile temperature. This pathology is characterized by increased inflammation and the rapid development of hemorrhoids. If the patient has a temperature of 38 degrees, then this indicates that he has a complication of hemorrhoids.
In the absence of therapy, rejection of hemorrhoids is observed. Upon examination, the doctor will see ulcers on the nodes, which indicates the need for urgent hospitalization.
How to bring down the temperature?
If the patient has a fever, then he needs to provide timely medical care.
Most often the patient is given drugs that are made on the basis of aspirin. Anti-inflammatory drugs have high efficacy in the fight against fever.
The treatment for fever is performed taking into account the type of disease and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Taking medications with increasing temperature should necessarily be combined with antibiotic therapy, sanation of the anal region, elimination of the inflammation focus. The last measure is applied by the method of surgical intervention.
With the help of sanation of the anus, purulent discharge is eliminated, and the inflammatory process is also healed.
This procedure allows you to eliminate the infection from the rectum. If this measure is not adopted, it can lead to the spread of the infection to the external genitalia, which will lead to their inflammation.
In the presence of a variety of serious complications, sanation is used, which is characterized by a high effect of exposure.
A rise in body temperature with hemorrhoids indicates that the patient has complications. That's why he needs to seek qualified help in the hospital. Here, complex diagnostics will be carried out, and not only the temperature but also the complication is eliminated.
