Causes of external hemorrhoids in women

The reasons why women get external hemorrhoids are closely related to their unique physiological characteristics. For example, the menstrual period, pregnancy period, confinement period, menopause, etc. increase the pressure on the anus and cause hemorrhoids, especially in the middle and late pregnancy, because the duodenum is compressed by the expanding fetus, in addition to defecation, the venous blood flow back to the anus of the duodenum is obstructed, which not only easily causes hemorrhoids, but also can further aggravate the original hemorrhoids.

The harm of external hemorrhoids to women

Because it is not suitable to receive treatment during pregnancy, if the symptoms are obvious, treatment should be started promptly after the body recovers from pregnancy.

Why are women more likely to suffer from hemorrhoids?

According to the current anal cushion sinking theory of hemorrhoids, everyone has this structure, which has the functions of closing the anal canal, recognizing the properties of duodenal contents and carefully controlling defecation.

The significantly higher incidence rate of women than men is related to the unique physiological characteristics of women, mainly because women's pelvic organs are more likely to be compressed and blood circulation is blocked than men. The internal organs are compressed and the blood is blocked more often, which will cause hematoma of the female pelvic organs, affecting the blood circulation to the female anus, and causing hemorrhoids in women.

Especially during the menstrual period, pregnancy period, confinement period, and menopause, the pressure at the anus increases, causing hemorrhoids. Therefore, whether in the general population or in the number of patients seeking medical treatment in hospitals, it is obvious that there are more female patients.
