Nobody likes to be sick.And this is a completely logical statement. Moreover, one can even say that its essence lies practically on the surface. However, among all other diseases, there are a number of those that are called "inconvenient". It is not customary to talk about them. Sometimes people are even embarrassed to go to the doctor with them, which significantly slows down the treatment and subsequent recovery. Hemorrhoids are considered such "inconvenient" diseases. Indeed, some people even find it difficult to admit to themselves that they suffer from this awkward, unpleasant, but extremely serious ailment. Today's topic will consider the treatment of this disease in women. Information will also be provided on some other aspects associated with hemorrhoids in women.
The stages of the disease and its symptoms
It is unlikely that this disease can be confused withany other, because so much has been said about it. But, as has already been said, this disease is considered shameful, so at the initial stages (when the problem can still be solved without pain and problems), many are in no hurry to see a doctor. Meanwhile, precious time is running out, and the lack of timely treatment can lead to the need for surgical intervention. So, below will be presented the stages of this disease, as well as the signs of each of them. The first stage is characterized by the fact that a small lump forms at the entrance to the anus. Gradually, it can increase in size. At the same time, with each bowel movement, quite unpleasant sensations arise. This can be itching, tingling, burning and other symptoms that are in no way associated with the normal state. If you pay attention to the disease at this stage, then it can be cured quite successfully and practically without casualties in 15-20 days. But, as practice shows, at this stage only 15-20% of patients consult a doctor. The second stage of hemorrhoids causes much more inconvenience and extremely unpleasant sensations. The lump near the anus increases significantly in size, during defecation they can even appear outward and then go back in. Often the anus exudes blood and yellow liquid. The latter, by the way, causes simply hellish itching. A person becomes nervous due to constant and persistent discomfort in this area. It's time to see a doctor so as not to bring everything to the third stage. At the third stage, a person's life becomes sheer hell. Now the nodes from the rectum fall out not only during defecation. This can happen at any time of the day and life: when walking, running, lifting heavy things and other manipulations. A woman can no longer sit normally, relief brings absolutely nothing. Already now the situation can become so neglected that it will require surgery. At the fourth stage, all the symptoms of the previous stage are aggravated several times. Here you can no longer do without surgery. However, before this time, a sane person should have contacted a specialist and undergo treatment a long time ago. By the way, a proctologist deals with this. It is with him that you should make an appointment.
Why does hemorrhoids occur in women?
Preventing a disease is always easier and simpler,than to deal with long and painful treatment later. This takes a lot of time, money and effort. This is precisely why it is worth finding out who is at risk when it comes to the occurrence of such an unpleasant ailment. What provokes hemorrhoids? One of the risk factors in women is pregnancy. The thing is that constipation is a natural companion of an interesting situation. In addition to this, the fetus puts quite a lot of pressure on the woman's intestines, which only aggravates the situation. The best thing to do in this situation is to carefully monitor the situation with constipation so that they do not eventually become something more. Pushing during childbirth in women can also become a risk of developing hemorrhoids. The disease can also be provoked by an addiction to unusual types of sex in girls, more precisely, to anal sex. This is due to the fact that there is no lubrication in the anus (unlike the vagina). Because of this, cracks, tears and other troubles may occur. Therefore, often practicing this type of "love", you need to carefully monitor your condition. In addition, the use of lubricant is necessary. But it is still better to leave this type of entertainment for special occasions. After all, nature intended it a little differently. In addition, hemorrhoids can be caused by other factors: sedentary work and an inactive lifestyle, constant lifting of weights, passion for strength sports, hereditary predisposition, poor nutrition, stress and some other reasons.
Treatment of hemorrhoids in women
Most often, hemorrhoid treatment does not requirehospital stay. It will be quite enough to undergo therapy in a clinic. Sometimes bed rest is prescribed, a sick leave is issued so that the treatment is not interrupted by anything. A whole range of drugs is used to eliminate the disease. These include ointments, gels, rectal suppositories. These drugs are most relevant in the first and second stages, but can be prescribed at other stages. They relieve itching, irritation, and reduce discomfort. Additionally, hemorrhoid tablets are prescribed. Antibiotics and painkillers can be added to them. Another way to treat is laser coagulation. Infrared radiation copes well with the first and second stages of the disease. Sclerotherapy also copes well with hemorrhoidal phenomena. The drug is injected into the nodes, which significantly alleviates the course of the disease and brings recovery closer. The method is also good in the early stages of the disease. In more advanced cases, the only option may be surgery. During the operation, hemorrhoidal cones are removed. However, recently an alternative to surgical intervention has appeared. This procedure is called minimally invasive therapy. Hemorrhoidal cones are enclosed in special rings. After some time, the blood flow to them is disrupted and they gradually fall off from the anus. Along with traditional methods, some folk methods can be used for active treatment. But it is worth understanding that they should go hand in hand with classical therapy. Folk methods alone can only start the course of the disease. Folk methods of treatment include: treatment with leeches, baths from onion or water pepper decoctions, baths with potassium permanganate, cotton swabs with honey and oil, ointment from rowan cones, self-massage of nodes and some other methods.
Than lack of therapy
Any disease cannot be left to its own devices,need to be treated. This case is no exception. What can be the consequences of not having treatment? Perhaps the following arguments will be decisive for someone. First of all, bleeding that occurs with hemorrhoids is dangerous. Any blood loss is dangerous for a person. Of course, it is not that great, but, nevertheless, it can lead to a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood. And this is fraught with anemia and other problems. Iron deficiency in the blood has a negative effect on the functioning of the entire body. Additionally, there is lethargy, constant drowsiness, and a strong loss of strength. Another dangerous consequence is tissue death. Acute thrombophlebitis is the worst thing that can happen if left untreated. This is extremely risky. Even blood poisoning can begin through a wound in the anus. Purulent phenomena are also not uncommon. Well, hemorrhoid treatment can be quite successful and fast if you pay attention to it in time. It is important to carefully monitor your health, how certain processes occur in the body. And if you find any oddities, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. After all, it is much better to do without a scalpel and start treatment in time. Health and excellent well-being every day! And be sure to cure hemorrhoids, if you have them.
