Postpartum hemorrhoids, please be careful

Do you know what hemorrhoids after childbirth mean? According to a global survey report on women before and after childbirth, 80% of women suffer from hemorrhoids before and after childbirth. Hemorrhoids usually do not cause people to pay attention to them. Once they occur before and after pregnancy, they should be treated in time. Next, the editor will introduce to you the detailed information about hemorrhoids after childbirth.

1. Adolescent women are affected by the development of the uterus, which squeezes the duodenum, causing the duodenum to tilt backwards and increase the curvature. The defecation process is slower than that of men, so it is easy to cause constipation, which in turn causes hemorrhoids.

2. During pregnancy, the duodenum is compressed by the expanding fetus, which obstructs the venous return at the duodenal anus, causing varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

3. During childbirth, the hemorrhoidal veins in the anus may be blocked, causing hemorrhoids, and even damage to the hemorrhoidal veins, resulting in thrombosed external hemorrhoids and inflammatory external hemorrhoids.

4. After giving birth, pregnant women suffer from abdominal discomfort, slow bowel movement, and often go without bowel movements for several days. In addition, they stay in bed for a long time and have difficulty defecating, which causes feces to stay in the intestines for too long and become larger and harder. It is easy for the anus to be injured and become ill during defecation.

Due to the enlargement of the uterus, the increased pressure in the pelvis cannot be changed, but the aggravation of hemorrhoids can be avoided, such as avoiding constipation, avoiding standing or sitting for long periods of time, and adjusting diet. After giving birth, with the delivery of the baby, the stomach, colon, and intestines return to their normal positions. Due to the removal of the compressive factors, gastrointestinal function is very slow. In addition, the pelvic muscles and anal muscles of pregnant women are too tight after delivery, and they suffer from perineum wound pain and hemorrhoid pain. Pregnant women are afraid to strain to defecate. They lie flat more after giving birth, have less activity, have a relaxed abdomen, and eat more food with less residue, which can easily cause constipation and aggravate hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids after childbirth are one of the obstetric emergencies; this is because after pregnancy, the abdominal pressure increases with the expansion of the uterus, especially in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the inferior vena cava hemorrhoids expand, especially during childbirth, the uterine contractions gradually increase, and pregnant women holding their breath and straining are prone to hemorrhoid incarceration. After hemorrhoids are incarcerated, the internal hemorrhoids protrude from the anus, the contracture of the muscles cannot be automatically reduced, and hematoma and edema occur. The prolapsed core also stimulates the nerve endings of the anus, causing swelling and pain. In severe cases, ischemic necrosis may occur. Using Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions with the properties of clearing away heat and dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and astringent, fumigating hemorrhoids, improving the blood circulation of local tissues, and adding effective dietary nourishment can usually achieve satisfactory results for postpartum hemorrhoids, not only eliminating clinical symptoms, but also ensuring long-term effects.

After pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the uterus gradually expands and abdominal pressure increases. Hemorrhoids are more common after giving birth. Due to the increased abdominal pressure and compression of the enlarged uterus, venous return is blocked, and increased pressure leads to varicose veins, which are significantly aggravated in the late pregnancy. During childbirth, pregnant women push down for a long time, which further promotes venous congestion; the irritation of the anus by maternal constipation can cause hemorrhoids after childbirth, hemorrhoid prolapse, and aggravation of existing hemorrhoids.

When hemorrhoids are more severe after childbirth, they will cause local edema, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. Some pregnant women hold their bowel movements for fear of pain, causing constipation, which makes the hemorrhoids worse, causing polarization and feeling very painful.
