Woman checking hemorrhoids process steps

In our lives, many women suffer from hemorrhoids. Some people don’t know they have hemorrhoids, and they only feel discomfort in the anus. So at this time, they need to go to the hospital for examination. Because the location of hemorrhoids is embarrassing, many people are very shy when they are examined, especially for women. If it is a male doctor, it will be very inconvenient. So what are the process and steps for women to check hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are an embarrassing disease, but basically every woman will have hemorrhoids. When we go to the hospital for a check-up, we always look forward to a female doctor to check. Even so, the embarrassment of having someone directly examine the anus, a very private part, cannot be avoided. People who have never had the examination do not know what the correct posture is for examining female hemorrhoids. In fact, this needs to be determined based on the specific examination items.

Female hemorrhoid examination posture

If you need an anorectoscopy, you need to lie on a bed, and then the doctor will insert the instrument into your anus and move it back and forth to check the specific condition of the hemorrhoids. If it is a digital examination, you will lie down on your stomach and the doctor will put on disposable gloves and reach in to touch and examine you.

3 ways to test whether a woman has hemorrhoids

1. Anal itching

We can pay attention to see if we have anal itching. This is mainly due to itching or discomfort caused by irritation of the anus and surrounding skin. Another possible cause is repeated prolapse of internal hemorrhoids, which leads to increased secretions and humidity, causing symptoms such as eczema.

2. Discharge from the anus

When going to the toilet, we can also observe the stool to see if there is any secretion flowing out. It may be overflowing from the fistula, it may be discharged from the anus, or it may overflow from the skin around the anus.

3. Anal tumor prolapse

For internal hemorrhoids, the most obvious symptom is prolapse of the anus. This is because the internal hemorrhoid nodules increase in size, causing the mucosa to separate from other parts, and forceful bowel movements can cause the tumor to fall out.

Now we know the posture for checking hemorrhoids in women, and also know the related symptoms of hemorrhoids, as well as the means of self-testing. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it in daily life and pay attention to see if there are any symptoms of hemorrhoids. If you have blood in your stool and it is heavy, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying treatment and making the condition worse.
