Increased hemorrhoidal node

An enlarged hemorrhoidal node (hemorrhoids) is a disease that arises from the increase in the rectal venous vessels of the rectum.

The main causal mechanism in which a hemorrhoidal node is formed is a sedentary lifestyle, the absence of physical activity and the violation of metabolic processes in the tissues of the rectum. As a result of a sedentary lifestyle, there is an increased influx of arterialized blood into the rectum and the outflow of venous blood decreases, which leads to the development of hemorrhoids. The disease contributes to overweight, pregnancy, pathology of veins. Due to the dystrophy of the intestinal tissues, the weakness of the muscular framework, the hemorrhoidal nodes enter through the anus to the outside. Hemorrhoidal nodes are often accompanied by bleeding, a serious complication is thrombosis of hemorrhoids.

Manifestations of the disease

The enlarged hemorrhoidal node manifests itself by itching in the anus, sensation of foreign formation, bleeding after going to the toilet. When complications develop, symptoms of intoxication appear, the temperature rises, soreness and edema appear in the anus, and dysuric phenomena may appear.

Prolonged course of the disease with periods of exacerbation, accompanied by anemia, thrombosis and even necrosis of nodes.

Diagnosis is usually not difficult. Typical complaints and an enlarged hemorrhoidal node or nodes, when examined, allow you to correctly determine the diagnosis.

Basic therapeutic measures

Treatment of the disease directly depends on the stage and degree of clinical manifestations of the disease and its complications. In the case of uncomplicated hemorrhoids, treatment should begin with drug therapy. Therapy includes local effects on the hemorrhoidal site and medications for ingestion. If there are no complications, in addition to the main treatment, proper nutrition should be observed, in which there are no coarse fibers that can injure the intestinal wall, alcohol is completely excluded. Lax, fig, prunes, compotes of dried fruits have a laxative effect. It is important to constantly respect the rules of personal hygiene, this applies to every visit to the toilet. Instead of toilet paper, it is best to wash the perineum with chilled water after each act of defecation. Among the medicines for conservative treatment, venotonics, laxatives and drugs that relieve inflammation are prescribed.
It is very important not to allow constipation and make sure that the chair is regular. To regulate the stool, many laxatives are used on a plant and chemical basis. There are drugs (Dufalac), which not only normalize the stool, but also fight with dysbiosis.

Local treatment of hemorrhoids involves the use of rectal suppositories. Rectal suppositories are released with anesthetic components (anesthesin, lidocaine, etc.), with antipruritic and anti-inflammatory drugs (zinc). At the phenomena of the general intoxication, development of complications anaesthetising preparations accept inside. Good non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs. A lot of candles with vegetable and animal components (krasavka, cocoa butter, shark fat, etc.) are produced. They have an emollient, hemostatic and inflammatory action.

Use drugs that strengthen the venous wall, improving blood properties. The venotonics are appointed by the proctologist. They reduce stagnation of venous blood, improve blood circulation and rheological properties of blood in small vessels and prevent their fragility.

At the expressed inflammation of knots, their abaissement and infringement, frequent bleedings, operative methods of treatment are shown (дезартеризация of hemorrhoids).
