What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids during pregnancy

1. Constipation. Hemorrhoids in pregnant women may cause constipation and anal bleeding after defecation, but there will be no blood or pus in the stool or black stool.

2. Pain. Hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus, appearing as purple-red, long, ring-shaped lumps with edema on the surface and normal surroundings. They are hard and very painful to press, and can hardly move. When internal hemorrhoids protrude from the anus, purple-red hemorrhoids can be seen.

3. Anemia. If hemorrhoids in pregnant women cannot be improved for a long time, it will cause varying degrees of anemia.

4. Poisoned. The constipation caused by hemorrhoids can easily cause body waste to remain in the intestines. Over time, the water in the body's lipids is evaporated, making it even more difficult to excrete from the body. At the same time, some toxins are released, and the metabolites that should have been excreted are absorbed by the body again, causing poisoning.
