Why do you have hemorrhoids after giving birth?

In our lives, many women will suffer from hemorrhoids after giving birth, and it is very difficult for women to defecate for the first time after giving birth.

Some women don't understand why they suffer from hemorrhoids after giving birth once. So why do they have hemorrhoids after giving birth?

1Will you definitely get hemorrhoids after a normal birth?

You will not necessarily develop hemorrhoids after a normal birth.

reason:

1. Hemorrhoids are a common surgical disease among the population and are divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, or mixed internal and external hemorrhoids.

2. Increased pelvic and abdominal pressure, such as long-term constipation and chronic cough, will obstruct the venous blood return of the rectum and cause hemorrhoids.

3. The patient’s blood vessels have poor elasticity and cannot maintain the elasticity of the blood vessel walls.

4. During vaginal delivery in the second stage of labor when the cervix is ​​fully dilated, abdominal pressure is used to assist in expelling the fetus. Existing hemorrhoids during pregnancy will worsen and even form external hemorrhoid thrombosis, causing anal pain and swelling after delivery, and fear of defecation or difficulty in defecation. However, this is only temporary.

2How to prevent postpartum hemorrhoids

1. After pregnancy, you should pay more attention to your daily life and exercise more to prevent yourself from getting hemorrhoids.

2. Increase water intake and exercise early. Drinking more water and exercising early in the morning have a great effect on intestinal peristalsis and lubrication, which can slowly increase the water in the intestines and avoid constipation.

3. Pay attention to your diet and eat more crude fiber foods. Try to eat less or no spicy, hot, and refined foods, and wait until a period of recovery before eating them again.

4. Defecate early and use enema early. During the first bowel movement after delivery, it is best to use a suppository to avoid tearing the anal canal skin due to dry stools, which may cause damage to the anus. Generally, it is best to have a bowel movement once every 3 days to avoid constipation.

5. Strengthen local exercises on the anus. The anus is a part closely related to hemorrhoids. Strengthening anal exercises can effectively prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids.
