Hemorrhoids, anal bleeding when urinating

Anal bleeding during urination is usually a symptom caused by hemorrhoids, which should be taken seriously and treated promptly, including identifying whether there are other causes, relieving symptoms through lifestyle adjustments and drug treatment, and considering surgical intervention in severe cases. Hemorrhoidal bleeding may be caused by inflammation, local rupture, and abnormal bowel habits. Treatment methods include improving diet, using drugs, and surgical treatment when necessary.

1. Causes of anal bleeding

Anal bleeding during hemorrhoids is due to the expansion and twisting of blood vessels in the hemorrhoid area. When stimulated by defecation or forceful urination, local blood vessels may rupture and cause bleeding. Bad bowel habits, such as straining during defecation and squatting for a long time, can also aggravate hemorrhoids and increase the risk of bleeding. If accompanied by pain, itching or prolapse of lumps, it is usually internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids; painless bright red bleeding is more common in internal hemorrhoids; and if there is dark red blood or blood mixed with stool, it is necessary to carefully screen for other intestinal diseases such as anal fissures and rectal tumors.

2. How to relieve and treat

1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, maintain adequate water intake every day, and prevent constipation and difficulty in defecation.

2 Drug treatment: You can use anal external hemorrhoid ointment or hemorrhoid suppository to relieve inflammation and discomfort; in severe cases, you can take oral diosmin drugs under the guidance of a doctor to improve blood circulation and reduce vasodilation.

3. Surgical treatment: For cases of repeated bleeding and ineffective conservative treatment, you can choose traditional hemorrhoidectomy, hemorrhoidal artery ligation or PPH stapler hemorrhoidectomy under the doctor's advice.

3. Improve your lifestyle

Maintain good bowel habits, avoid squatting for long periods of time or causing excessive abdominal pressure when urinating. Clean the anus regularly and use warm water to sit in a bath to relieve local swelling. Perform appropriate anal exercises as needed to enhance blood circulation in the perineum and prevent further deterioration of symptoms.

If hemorrhoid bleeding persists, occurs in large amounts, or is accompanied by other discomforts, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner to get a clear diagnosis and eliminate the risk of more serious diseases. At the same time, paying attention to diet and hygiene in daily life, and adhering to scientific treatment and care can effectively relieve the anal bleeding symptoms caused by hemorrhoids and reduce the impact on the quality of life.
