What are the dangers of external hemorrhoids?

External hemorrhoids may cause severe pain, infection, blood in the stool and other problems. If left untreated for a long time, it may worsen the symptoms and even induce other diseases. External hemorrhoids are lumps formed by varicose veins in the rectum, which are related to factors such as long-term sitting, constipation, and pregnancy. Timely treatment can alleviate symptoms and prevent further harm.

The hazards of external hemorrhoids are mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1) Intense pain. External hemorrhoids may cause swelling and severe local pain due to repeated friction, infection or thrombosis, especially during defecation, which affects the quality of daily life. 2) Risk of infection. The meat ball is exposed around the anus and is vulnerable to bacterial invasion. If it is damaged or ulcerated, it may further lead to inflammation or abscesses. 3) Bleeding and tissue necrosis. If the lump is squeezed and ruptured during defecation, it may cause anal bleeding; in severe cases, the tissue of the lump may necrotize, increasing the difficulty of treatment. 4) Long-term non-treatment may cause perianal skin eczema, ulcers, and even induce other anorectal diseases, such as anal fissures or anal fistulas. Although the meat ball is small, it needs to be taken seriously.

In order to alleviate the harm of external hemorrhoids, the following measures are recommended: increase the intake of foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole-wheat products, fruits, and green leafy vegetables, and avoid spicy foods; maintain regular bowel movements every day and develop good toilet habits to avoid constipation or excessive force; use hemorrhoid cream containing lidocaine and horse chestnut bark extract to reduce swelling and pain, or take a warm water bath to promote blood circulation. If the pain persists or the infection recurs, surgical treatment such as hemorrhoidectomy or thrombectomy can be selected. If necessary, see a doctor as soon as possible, and the doctor will evaluate the specific condition and develop the best treatment plan to avoid delays that may lead to more serious complications.
