What are the manifestations of the disease?
Depending on where the inflamed nodes are located, the internal and external hemorrhoids are isolated. Also, the disease is divided into chronic and acute. What is the difference? Each of the forms of the disease has its own characteristics.
If the nodes in the anus are low, then the hemorrhoids will be external. In this case, some of the nodes come out and are near the anus.
With the internal form of the disease, the inflamed cones are deep, and diagnosing the disease is much more difficult.
The first obvious signs of hemorrhoids are:
- discomfort in the anus and rectum;
- feeling of heaviness in the intestines;
- sensation as if inside there is a foreign body;
- persistent itching and burning;
- , after a visit to the toilet, bleeding occurs;
- pain in parts of the anal opening;
- drawing pain;
- edema;
- hemorrhoids begin to fall out.
It is important not to make a mistake in the diagnosis of
The disease is very insidious, because the first signs of hemorrhoids can be similar to many other diseases.
So you can confuse the hemorrhoids with:
- some of the diseases of the genitourinary system, and this complicates the treatment process;
- , on the other hand, can be associated with an inflammatory disease in one of the genital organs;
- trauma to the birth canal and peritonitis in the pelvis can also be similar in symptomatology.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to carefully approach the diagnosis of the disease, so that therapy is adequate and timely.
How does one distinguish hemorrhoids from others? It is important to pay attention to a complex of characteristic symptoms.
The first signs of the disease in a woman differ little from the signs in men. The peculiarity of the disease is its suddenness.
At first, people do not even suspect that he has hemorrhoids, but then he makes himself felt. In addition, the disease in everyone can manifest itself in its own way.
The stage of exacerbation is not confused with anything
The first symptoms of acute hemorrhoids:
- there is a sharp pain in the area of the anus
- during the visit to the toilet the pain is markedly amplified, the person feels that inside it there is a foreign body, these are the venous nodes that fell out in a straight linepassage;
- additionally there are itching and burning;
- from the anus opens scarlet spotting.
Features of the chronic course of the disease
If the hemorrhoids are chronic, then at the initial stage the symptoms are more hidden. How can hemorrhoids look like?
Inflammation of external nodes
Easier to identify the external manifestation of the disease. In this case, the hemorrhoidal nodes are located next to the anus, then they form groups or one by one, drop out.
As a result, acute pains occur.
Including an itch, which even if you do not ignore it.
Constant discomfort, inability to sit down and pain. In this case, unpleasant sensations persist in any position of the body.
Internal nodes reveal more difficult
And what about internal hemorrhoids? This is a more hidden form, which is not so easy to diagnose.
This disease is similar to external hemorrhoids, but here the hemorrhoidal nodes are much deeper in the rectum.
At the same time, they do not fall outside, and it is simply impossible to see the nodes. However, in any case because of them there is a strong discomfort.
If permanent constipation is observed, the discomfort will be even more pronounced.
- severe pain;
- burning sensation;
- metabolic disorder.
These are the symptoms that occur with this type of disease. In order to accurately establish the diagnosis, it is necessary to use some tools and inspect a specialist.
Features of the lesion in the weaker sex
In general, the first signs of hemorrhoids are similar in both men and women.
But the weaker sex has its own specificity:
- Often the symptoms of hemorrhoids appear in women during pregnancy or after childbirth.
- A dangerous disease is getting for those women who are pregnant for the first time. As some physiological changes occur, during the course of pregnancy the internal form of the disease begins to manifest itself. At first, it is not so noticeable, but when it's time to give birth, it's easy to notice.
- If the disease is not determined in advance, the acute stage of the disease will begin after delivery. The nodes begin to drop out and anal fissures develop. The pain becomes unbearable.
Hemorrhoids in men - features of the disease
Speaking of men, it is worth noting that they often do not visit the doctor until the last and ignore the first signs of hemorrhoids and only when there are sharp pains, they decide to come to a specialist.
The pain arises from the thrombosis of the hemorrhoids, which during the exacerbation become especially hard and aching.
It is interesting that in the beginning, hemorrhoids in men are not manifested. Because of this, it is difficult to make the correct diagnosis. One of the first symptoms are:
- burning, itching, inflammation in the anus.
- after show other sensations: the feeling that there is a foreign body inside, this is because the venous-vascular system begins to expand.
This symptom is closer to the second stage of the disease. To avoid the consequences, it is worthwhile at this stage to apply the same vein to the proctologist. Out-patient treatment will avoid serious complications.
Men often ignore the first manifestations of hemorrhoids, and then it turns into a chronic disease. After that the disease progresses. Begin bleeding, pain, spasms. Here the treatment will be more complicated.
In men, as in women, either internal or external hemorrhoids can manifest themselves. There are cases of a mixed type of disease.
The problem is hidden inside the
If a man suffers an internal kind of violation, then at first it is difficult to guess, because special symptoms are not observed.
There have been cases in which a person did not even suspect of a disease that had already developed into a chronic illness. Then, under the influence of some factors, for example, hard work, sedentary work, constipation, the exacerbation of the disease begins and its manifestation as a bleeding.
With internal hemorrhoids, a man experiences severe unbearable itching, painful sensations, cracks appear in the anus. Sometimes there is a slight bleeding. It disappears after a while after going to the toilet.
Symptoms of external hemorrhoids
When a man exhibits external hemorrhoids, as a result, bleeding, itching and burning in the rectal or anus can occur. Most often this occurs during defecation.
It can also cause physical pain in the abdomen and pelvic muscles. Malnutrition can also trigger the growth of the disease. Sick work is contraindicated for the patient, because inflammatory processes can begin.
To diagnose external hemorrhoids in men is not very difficult. Therefore, the treatment is easier to find.
There is a disease in the form of one or a pair of cones that are located around the anus. As a method of treatment use ointments, different trays.
Urgent to the doctor!
If you observe at least one of these signs, then immediately consult a doctor:
- When you visit the toilet, there is a strong pain .This is due to the enlargement of the hemorrhoids, which provokes a reduction in the passage of the rectum. Then hard feces that pass through the narrowed part begin to damage the veins that are affected by hemorrhoids. As a result: severe pain occurs.
- Isolation of blood in small quantities .Due to the fact that the hemorrhoidal nodes are damaged, when you go to the toilet there is a discharge of blood with clots. If this happens, then the disease is started.
- Large bleeding .This is a sign of an acute form of the disease. With severe bleeding, urgent medical attention is required.
