Two Important Things – Diagnosis Of Hemorrhoids

Symptomsky · August 6, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Having blood in your stool can be scary and yet we always tend to assume those are just hemorrhoids Well in many cases those are simply hemorrhoids, whether inner or outer ones. There are actually two things we have to be careful about Making these mistakes can cause further pain discomfort but also health issues First thing that I would like to mention or other conditions and diseases that can cause similar symptoms This condition should never be confused with hemorrhoids simply because some of them can be so dangerous to ultimately cause death. The first thing that comes to my mind when patient speak of pain in the anal area is simply the anal fissure. Unlike a hemorrhoid, the anal fissure is a tear in in the the epithelial tissue of the anal region. It is accompanied by bleeding and this pain can be chronic or acute. Another two seas that can cause pain in this region is the morbus chron And while many other conditions that are not so harmful such as psoriasis or or benign tumours can be confused with hemorrhoids, is extremely important not to forget that similar symptoms can be caused by a life-threatening condition called the the anal cancer. If not treated and if not discovered on time and very early in its development, an anal cancer is lethal. That is the first thing we should really care about in their forget when we are dealing with hemorrhoids. But what about the second thing? What was that second thing that we should never forget? The second thing is often a failed diagnosis of the appropriate grade of severity of hemorrhoids. Normally hemorrhoids can be divided into 4 grades and and the therapy is not the same for all grades of hemorrhoids. So first grade of hemorrhoids is basically the expansion and the dilatation of the veins of the corpus cavernosum recti. That is it there should be no prolapse or anything similar to that… If there is however a prolapse of the hemorrhoids the act of defecation, then we’re talking about the grade two. And if the prolapse will not be spontaneously reposition back to where it belongs then we are talking about the grade 3. In such cases you have the tried to to reposition the prolapse manually with your hand or your finger. If that cannot be achieved then we’re talking about grade 4 and if you can reposition it manually then we are talking about a grade 3 hemorrhoids. This is extremely important because the therapy is quite different for different grades of hemorrhoids. But besides all the stuff you have already heard that you must be careful what you eat and avoid constipation people usually asked is there a magic trick the hemorrhoids once and for all? And the answer is no magic stick can solve it but there is something really good and that is the invasive therapy the ligature of the the hemorrhoids. This is only to be done in grade 2 3 and 4 where as grade 1 usually does not require this sort of therapy? What are the the possible consequences and dangers of this condition and which grade does the patient really have?
