During pregnancy, hemorrhoids are common in pregnant women because the pelvic veins are compressed and blood circulation is impaired. After suffering from hemorrhoids, the swollen and twisted vein walls in the anus will become very thin, so they are very easy to rupture during defecation, causing bleeding.

Internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that grow at the beginning of the anal canal. If the swollen veins are located further down, almost at the anal opening, these varicose veins are called external hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids may sometimes prolapse or appear outside the anal canal. But this only happens during bowel movements, after which it will retract back to its original position. Blood clots can occur in both internal and external hemorrhoids. When a thrombosis occurs, the blood in the hemorrhoids clots and causes pain.

Clean the anus with warm water and take warm water sitting baths more often to promote blood circulation and relieve lesions.
