Early symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women

What are the early symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women? Hemorrhoids can occur in both men and women, but they are more likely to occur in women during pregnancy and after childbirth. The occurrence of hemorrhoids is often related to constipation. The early symptoms of hemorrhoids are mostly constipation. Then, when the constipation condition is not improved, blood in the stool will appear, and in severe cases, symptoms of abdominal pain may occur.

Early symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in women

1. One of the most obvious symptoms of hemorrhoids is blood in the stool. This bleeding may be blood on toilet paper, spurt-like blood in the stool, or spotting. Sometimes there will be a layer of bright red blood on the stool. This is because the stool scratches the mucous membrane and causes blood in the stool, or it may be due to excessive force during defecation, which causes the rupture of veins, resulting in spurt-like bleeding or spotting. If hemorrhoids bleed repeatedly and frequently, it may cause anemia in the patient.

2. Another obvious symptom of hemorrhoids is the outflow of mucus. The rectal mucosa may secrete mucus due to long-term stimulation of hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids cause relaxation of the anal sphincter, mucus will flow out. At first, it may flow out during bowel movements. In severe cases, it may flow out even when there is no bowel movement, contaminating the underwear and causing great pain to the patient. When female hemorrhoids prolapse, the mucus outflow may be more serious.

3. If hemorrhoids are severe, itching will occur in the anal area, because hemorrhoids will cause mucus to be discharged, causing the skin around the anus to be in a moist environment for a long time. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, bacteria will grow and cause local itching. If the hemorrhoids prolapse, there will be more mucus, which is more likely to cause itching.

4. Severe cases of hemorrhoids may cause hemorrhoid prolapse. This is because the hemorrhoids are squeezed by feces during defecation, resulting in prolapse. In some cases, part of the hemorrhoids prolapse, in some cases, all of the hemorrhoids prolapse, and in some cases, the hemorrhoids prolapse together with the rectal mucosa. Initially, the hemorrhoids may prolapse during defecation, but as time goes on, they may prolapse even without defecation.

5. When hemorrhoids develop to the late stage, there may be a feeling of heaviness and pain. This kind of pain is often a symptom of external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids generally do not cause pain, and only when the internal hemorrhoids become inflamed will they cause pain. If the internal hemorrhoids become infected, incarcerated, or strangulated and necrotic, severe pain will occur, which is often more severe than the pain in external hemorrhoids.
