What are the symptoms of postpartum anal prolapse

Postpartum women are more prone to rectal prolapse because pregnant women will exert extra force during childbirth, which will cause excessive bleeding. For women with hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoidal arteries will dilate at this time, leading to rectal prolapse. You must know that if rectal prolapse occurs for the first time, it will also occur for the second time. This frequent occurrence of rectal prolapse has a great impact on the patient's health.

Generally speaking, when the doctor sees that the baby's head is slightly exposed during delivery, he will take measures to protect the pregnant woman's perineum and press the patient's anus with his hand to prevent the pregnant woman from having rectal prolapse.

If the patient's anus has already prolapsed, the doctor will immediately put it back after the pregnant woman gives birth, and then use cotton wool to press the anus tightly for a while to prevent the pregnant woman's anus from prolapse again... If the pregnant woman has hemorrhoids before giving birth, it will often get worse during the delivery process.

Once anal prolapse occurs for the first time, it will occur for the second and third time. After giving birth, pregnant women will be very reluctant to defecate due to the pain in their lower body. They often do not defecate even when they feel the urge, which will lead to constipation. When it comes time to defecate, pregnant women may exert too much force due to the difficulty in defecation, and the anus will prolapse again, making the situation more and more serious.

Patients with rectal prolapse should eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water, which can fully prevent constipation.

For patients with postpartum rectal prolapse, in addition to regular treatment, they must pay attention to good conditioning, such as taking more walks and maintaining a good attitude. In addition, they can strengthen anal contraction exercises, which is a good exercise for the anal sphincter. They should also pay attention to their diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid constipation.
