Is it necessary to have hemorrhoidectomy during pregnancy?

Pregnant women are a high-risk group for hemorrhoids. During pregnancy, as the fetus grows and develops, the uterus expands, exerting pressure on the inferior vena cava, obstructing blood flow back to the pelvis, and causing blood congestion in the anal venous plexus, which becomes tangled and clumped, making hemorrhoids more likely to occur or aggravate existing hemorrhoids.

Long-term and heavy blood in the stool causes insufficient nutrition for the pregnant mother, weakening physical fitness, and is to some extent related to the baby's delayed language development.
