What causes hemorrhoids in girls?

If you are embarrassed when talking about hemorrhoids, you may be experiencing hemorrhoid confusion. Of course, you may have only seen the pain your loved ones feel when they have hemorrhoids. How much do you know about hemorrhoids? You can say: Nine out of ten men and ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids. This shows that the incidence of hemorrhoids is still very high, especially women are more prone to hemorrhoids than men.

1. Menstrual period

During the menstrual period, excessive blood loss usually leads to hard stools. Squatting for a long time in the toilet will affect the blood circulation of the anus, increase the pressure at the anus, and often cause difficulty in defecation and increased intervals. Defecation once every 2-3 days will cause hematoma and edema in the duodenum and anus, which will not only easily cause hemorrhoids, but also further aggravate the original hemorrhoids.

2. Pregnancy

During pregnancy, estrogen levels rise, causing the body to retain water and sodium and dilate capillaries. The hormones such as estrogen and relaxin relax the supporting tissues of the pelvis and anal canal, aggravating the sinking of the anal cushions. It is the causing factor. On the other hand, during pregnancy, the amount of exercise is small, the gastrointestinal motility is slow, causing constipation, defecation difficulty increases abdominal pressure, and dry stool can easily scratch the mucosa of the hemorrhoidal area and cause bleeding. In addition, during pregnancy, the enlarged uterus is compressed, the abdominal pressure increases, the pelvis is lowered, and the nerve stretching causes abnormal dilation function, which blocks the return of the hemorrhoidal venous plexus. The obstruction of blood flow control in the anal cushion is the main factor causing hemorrhoids.

3. Confinement period

The chance of developing the disease during the confinement period is also higher. After giving birth, pregnant women experience abdominal pain, slower urination, loose abdomen, reduced activity, and weak bowel movements, which aggravate bowel movement and often cause the feeling of not having a bowel movement for several days. Excrement stays in the stomach and intestines for too long, and the water is absorbed, becoming lumps of higher aspect ratio, even as hard as sheep dung. If you strain to defecate, it will damage the anus and duodenum, causing hemorrhoids.

4. Female menopause

When women reach menopause, the tissues related to the function of the anus, such as the dilator, levator ani, and phalangeal duodenal muscles, become increasingly weak, and the function of the anus is reduced. In addition, women in menopause usually experience endocrine and autonomic nervous system imbalances, which makes people feel upset, have the urge to defecate but feel that the bowel movements are not complete, and go to the bathroom frequently, which increases the pressure at the anus and is also a factor in causing anal diseases.

In addition, working women are under great pressure from long sitting and standing jobs, their spirits are often under excessive tension, their anxiety increases, and they are prone to ignoring the urge to urinate and holding back bowel movements, which leads to chronic constipation over time and becomes an important factor in the occurrence of hemorrhoids that cannot be ignored.
