Medical Video: Hemorrhoid Removal (Hemorrhoidectomy)
Hemorrhoid can feel uncomfortable, even making you feel pain when sitting. Most cases of hemorrhoids are not a condition that you should worry about. However, a lump of hemorrhoid in the anus can break at any time if not treated immediately. What are the symptoms of a hemorrhoid rupture and how do you treat it? Consider the following review.
What are the symptoms of hemorrhoid rupture?
There are two types of hemorrhoid, namely the deep hemorrhoid (internal) that grows in the inner lining of the rectum, and the external hemorrhoid (external) which is in the outer skin of the anal canal. Hemorrhoids that often break are external hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoid rupture is usually caused by heavy pressure on the veins that surround the anus, such as stress when constipated, too fat (obese) and also sits for too long. Pregnancy can also be the cause of the hemorrhoid that the pregnant mother has ruptured, due to pressure in the womb.
Before the ambient ruptures, some of the following symptoms often appear and feel very severe:
- Anus hurts
- Anus feels burning
- Around the anus it feels very itchy
Ambulances that swell the size of zits or boils can rupture and bleed. This will cause bloody defecation (fresh blood red; if the color of the blood is not this, it means that it is not a symptom of hemorrhoid rupture, but colon cancer).
Complications from ruptured hemorrhoids that may occur
Hemorrhoids that are broken and not treated can pose a risk of irritation that is painful when sitting or defecating. Fibrosis can also develop, the condition of the appearance of scar tissue in the anal opening. In addition, abscess formation containing pus can also occur due to wounds infected with bacteria and germs.
In more serious cases, prolonged bleeding from a ruptured hemorrhoid can cause anemia.
Treatment for hemorrhoid rupture
If the hemorrhoid breaks, immediately consult a doctor. The doctor can prescribe medication to stop the bleeding, close the wound, as well as reduce symptoms.
To stop excessive itching, a combination of hydrocortisone and mupirocin ointment can be prescribed for use every 10 minutes. Dissolve the ointment with water and wipe it with a clean tissue on your anus so that the itching decreases. Use dry wipes that are not alcoholic and contain fragrances.
For cases of heavy bleeding, the treatment solution is surgery, such as rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy which is very effective for controlling bleeding and reducing the likelihood of recurrence of hemorrhoids, or hemorrhoidectomy to remove a hemorrhoid lump.
During the treatment period, drink plenty of water and consume fiber from fruits, vegetables, or whole grains. Also, keep your body clean, especially around the sores on the anus so it doesn't get infected with bacteria or germs.
