It is recommended to treat them as soon as possible to avoid aggravating the condition. Specific treatment can be carried out through medication, surgery, diet adjustment, etc.

1. The main symptoms of hemorrhoids in women

Depending on the type, hemorrhoids may present as the following symptoms in women:

Internal hemorrhoids: The main symptom of internal hemorrhoids in the early stage is painless bloody stools, that is, bright red bleeding during defecation, without pain; as the disease worsens, the tumor may protrude outside the anus and can be pushed back briefly by hand.

External hemorrhoids: External hemorrhoids usually manifest as lumps around the anus, local itching or foreign body sensation, and in severe cases are accompanied by severe pain, especially when sitting or defecating.

Mixed hemorrhoids: Mixed hemorrhoids have the characteristics of both internal and external hemorrhoids, and may cause blood in the stool, prolapse of the tumor, itching and obvious pain, and are often accompanied by local anal infection or ulceration.

2. Common causes of hemorrhoids

Genetic factors: Hemorrhoids may be related to family hereditary constitution, such as congenital weakness of venous walls or blood reflux obstruction.

Environmental factors: Sitting or standing for a long time or overwork can cause excessive pressure in the anus, thus inducing hemorrhoids.

Physiological factors: Pregnancy and childbirth are important causes of high incidence of hemorrhoids in women, because the fetus compresses the pelvic and anal veins, resulting in poor blood return.

Eating habits: If women lack dietary fiber in their diet, or habitually drink strong tea, coffee, and eat spicy food, it is easy to cause constipation and increase the risk of hemorrhoids.

3. Treatment and relief methods for female hemorrhoids

Drug treatment: You can apply hemorrhoid ointment such as Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment, or take sodium aescinate drugs orally to improve venous return.

Surgical treatment: For severe hemorrhoids, such as prolapse that cannot be reduced or repeated bleeding, you can choose hemorrhoidectomy, PPH surgery, hemorrhoid circumcision, or minimally invasive treatment such as red light or laser surgery.

Adjustments to diet and lifestyle: Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and avoid spicy and greasy foods; drink enough water every day to keep bowel movements smooth, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements.

Moderate exercise: Improve your sitting condition, take a walk every day, do yoga, or perform appropriate Kegel exercises and pelvic floor muscle exercises to effectively relieve hemorrhoid symptoms.

Hemorrhoids have a great impact on women's health. When the early symptoms are mild, they can be relieved by self-adjusting diet and lifestyle habits. When the symptoms are severe or recurring, you should seek medical attention in time and choose a reasonable treatment plan based on the advice of a professional doctor to prevent the disease from worsening and affecting the quality of life.
