Hemorrhoids, one of the most common diseases in Turkey, reduces the quality of life significantly when left untreated, as it is popularly known as hemorrhoids. Since it occurs in the anal area, it is " Hemorrhoids, which are among the "hidden health problems", can be treated with simple interventions when detected at an early stage, but since they are hidden, they may progress and require surgery. The disease, which is mostly caused by eating habits, can also be seen in patients with chronic constipation.
How are hemorrhoids diagnosed?
Prof.Dr. İlker Sücüllü "First of all, I should point out that hemorrhoids, also known as hemorrhoids among the public, or (Hemorrhoidal Pillows) are not a disease, but normal anatomical structures containing vascular networks in our body, which have important functions such as retaining gas and feces and preventing bowel leakage. Life Because of these functions that have a direct impact on comfort, their treatment should be handled with care, especially when deciding on the removal of these structures through surgery.
Sometimes, straining caused by this anatomical structure may cause protrusion-sagging, damage and tearing of the vessels. Complaints such as bleeding may occur due to hemorrhoids and the current situation is called "Hemorrhoidal Disease", not hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are divided into internal and external according to their location in the anus. The most obvious complaint in hemorrhoidal disease arising from hemorrhoidal cushions outside the anus is the patient's hand. These are painful swellings that cause difficulty in sitting and moving. This condition often occurs due to blood clotting inside the hemorrhoidal pajama and is called "Thrombosed hemorrhoidal disease". In internal hemorrhoidal disease, it originates from the hemorrhoidal cushions located in the inner part of the anus. Painless, bright red fresh bleeding that occurs most frequently during defecation in patients, referred to as "breast formation" in the anus, is a symptom of the patient's own symptoms. Complaints about the formation of protrusions that the baby pushes inside while going to the toilet are seen. If the necessary precautions are not taken at this stage, in the later stages of the disease, the patient cannot be pushed in by the patient. >Hemorrhoids are divided into two as internal and external hemorrhoids. While Internal Hemorrhoids are observed as red blood in the stool and hemorrhoids protruding from the anus, External Hemorrhoids are seen as painful swelling around the anus, severe itching, and difficulty sitting. Especially in the early stages, depending on the condition of the disease, cream treatments and While sitz baths are recommended, surgical intervention is required in advanced cases. With a correct treatment, the disease is controlled and the patient can return to his old life after treatment.
How to Treat Hemorrhoids and What Are the Factors That Trigger the Disease?
General Surgery and Surgical Oncology Specialist Prof.Dr. İlker Sücüllü "Our body's excretory system has a natural order. If you postpone or suppress the natural desire to defecate, or if you force yourself to defecate at another time outside the natural routine, you will trigger the disease. In addition, digestive problems such as constant constipation or diarrhea can lead to this disease." Correction of eating habits is also very important in the treatment of hemorrhoids. Treatment of hemorrhoidal disease is carried out according to the stage of the disease. Dietary practices, approaches to prevent constipation and drug treatment have the ability to completely eliminate the disease in the early stages. In advanced stage disease or after surgery if necessary. These practices should definitely be continued.
Generally, patients are advised to consume foods with high fiber value and to go on a diet if the patient is overweight depending on his/her weight. Fluid consumption is also very important. It can make your life very challenging and sometimes cause you to have difficulty even sitting down and standing up. For hemorrhoids, you should pay attention to your lifestyle, eat healthy and live a physically active life. In case of failure in medical treatment, surgery is decided. . Many surgical methods have been described for hemorrhoidal disease. "Before making a decision about surgical treatment, patients should be careful not to rely on hearsay information and to seek expert opinion," he says.
