Hemorrhoids are a disease that everyone is afraid of. This disease can make people very embarrassed. In comparison, women are more likely to develop hemorrhoids than men, especially women who are pregnant or in confinement. They are a high-risk group for hemorrhoids. Once you suffer from hemorrhoids, patients must not be shy. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. The following introduces the correct posture for women to examine hemorrhoids.

What posture should women use to check hemorrhoids?

As the saying goes, nine out of ten men and ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids. Basically all women will have the trouble of hemorrhoids. If the symptoms are mild, you can usually just control your diet. But if it is serious, you will go to the hospital for examination. The posture for examining female hemorrhoids is a bit awkward, as the doctor needs to check the private parts. However, you can determine whether you have hemorrhoids through self-examination.

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

You can pay attention to see if you 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 you go to the toilet, you can also observe your 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, as well as the related symptoms and self-testing methods. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it in daily life and keep an eye out for 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.
