1 Causes of the disease

Hemorrhoids in children and adults are caused by various factors. In most adults, this disease develops due to the presence of leg varicose, sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy or frequent weight-lifting. All these factors can not be present in the life of a crumb.

Constipation is the most common cause of hemorrhoids in children. They can appear in babies of different age categories( even in infants).In schoolchildren, constipation often occurs due to malnutrition, and in still very small quantities - due to intestinal dysbiosis and gastrointestinal imperfections. Adult children willingly eat harmful foods( chips, chocolate, hamburgers), which have a very negative effect on the stool. Therefore it is very important to keep track of what exactly the baby eats not only at home, but also at school.

The second common cause of hemorrhoids in children is a long sitting on a pot. Long sitting on the pot can be caused by constipation, and other reasons. Often, children are diagnosed with psychological constipation, which develops in an unfamiliar environment.

Parents should understand that the kid should sit on the pot only when he really wants to go to the toilet in a big way. Improper teaching of the child to the pot( when he sits on it strictly according to the schedule, regardless of his desire) can lead to the development of hemorrhoids.

In young children, strong and long crying can cause children's hemorrhoids. When the crumb screams and cries a lot, his tummy tends to become a cause of increased intra-abdominal pressure. Increased pressure leads to overflow of blood vessels with venous blood.

Hemorrhoids in a child of more adult age often develops due to a sedentary lifestyle. School children sit at their desks for half a day, and then spend most of their time in front of a television or computer. Reduced physical activity - a direct road to the development of hemorrhoids.

In some children, the aforementioned disease is associated with a congenital condition of varices of hemorrhoidal vessels. This pathology manifests itself almost immediately after birth. During defecation or crying, you can notice a characteristic protrusion of the vein in the area of ​​the anus of the baby.

2 Symptoms of the disease

It is easiest to identify hemorrhoids in a more adult child. Older children can tell adults about the symptoms that concern them.

The main signs of the disease include the sensation of a foreign body in the anus, spotting, itching and burning in the area of ​​the anus.

Babies with hemorrhoids can develop without symptoms at all. In this case, the swollen nodules of the hemorrhoids are noticed by the parents quite accidentally during the act of defecation and strong crying. At moments of tranquility, the swollen nodules disappear.

Small droplets of blood can be seen on the surface of stool. If an infection has joined the disease, the baby's fever rises. In most cases, the temperature does not rise above 37-38 degrees.

In case of development of acute hemorrhoids, the patient has a strong pain syndrome. Older children themselves tell of their strong pains, and quite a few crumbs - they constantly cry and scream.
