1 Reasons for the appearance of

The most common cause of anal bleeding is hemorrhoids, a disease that often affects pregnant women from the second half of the gestation period.

Of course, there are more serious problems, but most often the blood from the anus during pregnancy appears on toilet paper or in feces precisely because of problems with hemorrhoids.

If the matter is not in them, the patient should think about the following diseases and injuries:

• anal fissure. The blood in this case is very small, it oozes with drops( mainly after emptying), the pain appears only when the hygiene rules are not followed or accidental urine and feces get into the diseased area;
• polyps. Formed in the rectum, attached to the walls of the intestine, after which they can stay on it for a long time. With the next act of defecation, polyps can come off, and blood from the wound can mix with feces and go outside;

• gastritis. The main symptoms are a lack of pain and a loose stool, in which there is very little blood involved;
• proctitis. Despite frequent urge to bowel movement, the very act of defecation is extremely rare, and during it, in addition to feces, mucus and masses with blood are excreted from the anus;
• permanent constipation can lead to excessive stretching and trauma to the anal ring, provoking the appearance of anal cracks and tears.

Self-diagnosis of such diseases is impossible. The maximum that the patient can do is to decide whether to wait for the waiting hours or immediately to call an ambulance for emergency hospitalization.

2 Treatment of pathology

Everything depends on the disease. Candles and ointments may be prescribed, in rare cases, surgical intervention is indicated. But all this is decided solely by a doctor. No self-medication at any stage should not be, even if the duration of pregnancy is very small. You can provide simple first aid, consisting in rest and a cold water bottle.

In no case can it be applied to the skin of ordinary ice, without any interlayer - it is very easy to get cold internal organs, up to the uterus - and this will lead to much more serious consequences than normal hemorrhoids.

Cold water bottle is applied no more than for half an hour - usually this is enough to stop a small bleeding or wait for an ambulance.

If treatment is not received on time, serious pain can begin - it is also impossible to "knock down" them with various kinds of tablets because of pregnancy. At the same time, before the birth the pains are not so strong, but after many young mothers begin to regret that at one time they did not go to the doctor and now they can not fully complete the course of treatment, because it is necessary to follow the child and give up part of the medication while breastfeeding.

3 General recommendations of

In addition to the appointment of a physician( mandatory for implementation), you can follow simple recommendations:

• Every day( preferably in the morning and in the evening) simple Kegel exercises are performed. The muscles of the perineum are strained for about ten seconds, then relaxed - and so at least twenty-five times. If during the pregnancy to strain the muscles daily, they will become noticeably stronger, and the process of birth will become a little easier, and the blood during defecation will be much less;
• To ease the condition, you can apply cold compresses or take a sedentary warm bath. Methods are mutually exclusive, so it is necessary to try each of them and decide that the body is more suitable;
• Toilet paper should be soft. Too hard varieties can damage the smallest anal fissures, which will cause bleeding;
• If there is a urge to go to the toilet, ignore it in any case impossible. The longer a patient suffers, the more likely it is that the feces will petrify, and further evacuation of the intestine will be much more unpleasant;
• It is necessary to observe personal hygiene: the more often the pregnant woman undergoes washing and changing clothes, the less chance of getting into the small anal fissures of the infection, which means that there will be much less bleeding from them;
• Food is better to choose the right one and take it in small portions. Against constipation is a good help for food with coarse fibers, the stool becomes more stable and the amount of blood in the feces or on toilet paper is significantly reduced.

During pregnancy, even such a simple symptom as a slight bleeding from the anal passage can be a sign of a serious problem that is better to solve in the near future. This is especially true when bleeding is not a one-time, or lasts longer than a few minutes. The longer the period during which the woman's blood passes from the anus, the more likely the child will be harmed. If there is a suspicion that the bleeding will not stop, it is by no means impossible to stop it. It is necessary to call an ambulance, and the patient is placed in a bed with a raised leg.
