1 Stages of development of pathology

Hemorrhoids - this is one of the manifestations of varicose veins, which in this case is localized in the rectum. Its main symptom is the formation of hemorrhoid cones in the rectum in the region of the anal sphincter.

Depending on the stage of development of pathology, the proctologist will determine how to treat hemorrhoids in a particularpatient. Hemorrhoids have 4 stages:

1. In the first stage of the disease, the patient notes an itch and burning sensation in the anus, small bleeding during defecation, an unpleasant sensation, as if there is an object in the anus. Hemorrhoids still do not fall out of the anus.

2. The second stage of the pathology is accompanied by the loss of nodes during the test of strong physical exertion( with difficult defecation or lifting of heavy things).But the hemorrhoids also spontaneously back into the rectum.
3. At this stage, the patient often has hemorrhoids, and the patient can manually fix them.
4. At the final stage of the disease, the hemorrhoids drop out permanently even under small loads. At the same time, it is practically impossible to fix them in place.

It is necessary to distinguish between hemorrhoids and cones. The latter are enlarged in size and inflamed hemorrhoids, which are localized around the anus. The formation of cones of hemorrhoids is characteristic of the last two stages of acute or chronic disease.

There are internal and external cones. The internal is localized on the walls of the intestine from the inside;they can fall out during a bowel movement and begin to bleed. External cones have an outer peel. This is already dropped out of the anus, so the probability of thrombosis in these cones is several times greater than that of the internal ones. For hemorrhoids, acute pain syndrome is typical when they fall out, accompanied by bleeding.

2 Treatment of early forms of the disease

Seeking qualified help is best at an early stage of the disease, when the formation of cones of hemorrhoids has not yet occurred. During this period, the patient is prescribed conservative treatment: candles, gel, ointment. For greater effectiveness of therapy, the patient is prescribed vascular wall firming drugs, as well as substances that improve blood flow. This is done to prevent blood stagnation in the anus. A person with this disease immediately feels relieved when the tone of blood vessels rises.

The simultaneous intake of 2 groups of topical preparations is prescribed: analgesic suppositories and ointment directly from hemorrhoids. The patient takes medication twice a day, the treatment should be at least 10 days. After the emptying process, the patient is recommended to undergo a washout with cool water - this helps to remove swelling of the hemorrhoids.

In the early stage of hemorrhoids, you can( in consultation with a doctor in advance) use for therapeutic purposes prescriptions for alternative medicine. Below are some of the most popular methods:

1. In pharmacies, you can purchase a special collection of herbs against hemorrhoids. The package indicates the recipe for preparing the decoction, which is used later inside. The course of treatment lasts 7 days.
2. 2 tbsp.l.herb yarrow in dry form pour 0.5 liters of boiling water and leave for 60 minutes. Strain. Drink 1 tbsp each.l.three times a day for 15-20 minutes before meals.
3. Grind the root of dandelion drug, 2 tsp.pour 200 g of cold boiled water, leave to infuse for the night( 8 hours).Filtered infusion take before each meal 2 tablespoons.l. Drink the infusion for 30 days.
4. At night, insert into the anus a shaved candle from raw potatoes, pre-rinsing the intestine.

3 How to independently fix the hemorrhoid cones

If the pathological process is started, the patient develops cones with hemorrhoids, which under the influence of strong loads can come out of the anus. The patient feels at the same time intensification of itching and burning sensation in the anus. At the third stage of the disease, the patient needs to know how to remove the bumps back into the rectum on their own.

Immediately prior to manipulation, an area surrounding the fallen hemorrhoids should be anesthetized. For these purposes, you can buy a special anesthetic ointment( for example, troxevasin or heparin ointment).Puffiness can be reduced by attaching an ice pack to the back pass for several minutes.

It's best to put the cone in place immediately after it exits. Do this in disposable rubber gloves. The patient kneels on all fours, leaning on elbows and knees, or simply bends forward and spreads his legs. With one hand, slightly moved aside the buttock, opposite the fallen cone. Using the middle finger of the second hand, well lubricated with petroleum jelly, you should gently push the fallen inflamed knot back into the rectum. Entering the finger in the anus, the person should make sure that the cone is fixed. Then, gently removing the finger from the anus, you need to tightly squeeze the buttocks, straining at the same time the external sphincter.

After this manipulation, if possible, you must take a sitting or lying position for 30 minutes. This is necessary to avoid reoccurrence of the cones. The next few days you need to try to stand less in favor of sitting, walking, forgetting about lifting weights.

4 Therapy for hemorrhoids

If the patient is not helped by conservative therapy or if he has asked for qualified help too late, there is a need for surgical treatment.

However, to treat hemorrhoids can be removed without a scalpel. For this, several methods are successfully used:

1. Laser therapy. The method consists in removing the hemorrhoids by a narrowly-guided laser. When cutting a cone with a laser beam, instantaneous "sealing" of blood vessels takes place, and therefore the patient will not lose a drop of blood. In this case, the node decreases in size, blood stasis is eliminated. All manipulation takes no more than a quarter of an hour. But this procedure should be carried out repeatedly to completely rid the person of the disease.
2. Treatment of external hemorrhoids by sclerosing cones. This therapeutic method consists in the introduction through the injection of a special drug( it can be ethoxiclerol or thrombovar) directly into the hemorrhoids. This procedure leads to a gradual degeneration and death of the cone. Anesthetic is not required, since the procedure is practically painless. This method should also be done 3 or 4 times at intervals of several days.
3. Method of desarterization. Called to stop the flow of blood to the inflamed nodes through their bandaging. During the procedure, the method of ultrasound dopplerography, which specifies the localization of the venous node, is additionally applied. The method does not cause pain to the patient, does not leave scars, is performed once, after which the person is completely cured.
4. Latex rings. This device is necessary to cut off the problem area. It is put on a bump for 2 weeks. During this time the node, not receiving power, disappears with the ring. In one procedure, one knot can be bandaged. The break between sessions is at least 2 weeks.

All of the above methods can get rid of external hemorrhoids once and for all. They are all effective, so the doctor will determine which method in the particular case fits most.

5 Therapeutic diet of

In addition to conservative treatment, the patient should adhere to a certain diet. This will prevent the aggravation of the process and make life easier for the patient himself.

The main rule for a person suffering from hemorrhoids is to prevent constipation and ease the process of defecation as much as possible.

Meals should be regular. It is necessary to consume enough fiber( it is very much in cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables) and drink as much liquid as possible. Meat choose low-fat, cook mainly for a couple or bake. If a person can not completely abandon the use of bread, then you need to choose products from wholemeal flour.

But from the use of rice, potatoes, smoked products, bakery products, spices, alcoholic beverages for the period of treatment should be abstained.
