What are the symptoms of anal hemorrhoids

The main symptoms of external anal hemorrhoids include lumps around the anus, pain or foreign body sensation, especially after defecation or when standing for a long time. If blood clots form in the external hemorrhoids, severe pain and hard purple-blue lumps may occur, and medical attention should be sought promptly.

External hemorrhoids usually refer to varicose veins or skin growths around the anus. Common manifestations include soft or slightly hard small lumps that can be felt under the skin around the anus, which may be accompanied by itching or slight discomfort. When blood circulation is abnormal, constipation or excessive force is applied during defecation, local vein compression can lead to the formation of external hemorrhoids. Some patients may experience burning or itching due to friction irritation or eczema-like changes. If external hemorrhoids are accompanied by thrombosis, the pain will be severe, and the sitting, standing and defecation processes will be affected, and local infection or ulcers may occur.

To prevent or relieve the symptoms of external hemorrhoids, warm water sitz baths can be used to promote anal blood circulation, keep the anus clean, and reduce irritation. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more fiber-containing foods such as oats and green leafy vegetables, and drink more water to improve constipation. Topical medications such as hemorrhoid creams (such as Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Cream) can relieve symptoms, and drugs containing anti-inflammatory and analgesic ingredients can also be selected. Severe thrombosed external hemorrhoids may require surgical treatment, such as incision to remove blood clots or small flap resection surgery, which needs to be decided after evaluation by a professional doctor. Maintaining regular bowel habits for a long time and avoiding sitting or standing for long periods of time are also important for preventing external hemorrhoids. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek professional medical help in time.
