Unfortunately, most women hesitate to contact a proctologist, which makes it difficult to diagnose diseases of the rectum in the early stages. Therefore, minor problems often turn into chronic hemorrhoids of varying severity, which causes a lot of inconveniences and painful sensations.
Symptoms of chronic hemorrhoids
The clinical picture of pathology depends on its variety.
Chronic internal hemorrhoids are characterized by the presence of enlarged nodes inside the rectum. In the early stages of symptomatology is practically absent, but with the progression of the disease the following symptoms are observed:
- sharp, stitching pain during defecation and lifting weights;
- allocation of a small amount of blood from the anus after emptying the intestine;
- discomfort in the anus (burning, itching).
External hemorrhoids are accompanied by loss of inflamed nodes, which are easily detected visually. At the first stages of the development of the disease (stage 1-3), the data of education are corrected independently after defecation, but this becomes impossible with the passage of time.
The main symptoms are:
- feeling of foreign body presence between the buttocks, discomfort, especially when walking;
- constant piercing or throbbing pain, including - when sitting;
- soreness in defecation, discharge of blood;
- constipation , sometimes very long (up to 2 weeks).
Also common is a combination of hemorrhoids, which combines the signs of external and internal types of pathology.
How to cure chronic hemorrhoids?
The disease therapy corresponds to the degree of its severity and form.
Treatment of chronic hemorrhoids 1-3 stages, both external and internal, can be performed with the help of conservative methods and diet correction.
The following drugs are used:
- systemic drugs that reduce blood viscosity and prevent the formation of thrombi (Aspirin, Detralex, Normoven);
- local ointments, creams, suppositories, gels (Gepatrombin G, Relief, Aurobin, Proctosedil, Proctosan). Sometimes used with heparin, designed for the legs (Venitan Forte).
Also shown are daily warm baths for the rectum, if the nodes are located outside.
The situation is more complicated with severe cases of pathology.
Here's how to treat chronic hemorrhoids on stage 4-5:
