Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of stage 1 hemorrhoids

Inflammation of hemorrhoidal veins, unfortunately, is a very common pathology. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender.

But you can handle it. The simplest treatment is for stage 1 hemorrhoids. But this condition does not have specific symptoms, and this complicates the diagnosis. However, first things first.

Causes

Hemorrhoids appear due to overflow of blood of cavernous formations. This occurs for various reasons. Be that as it may, the veins are deformed, protrude, and therefore nodules form.

There can be many reasons. This is usually a sedentary lifestyle. But a genetic disease, age, pregnancy, poor venous valve function, heredity, hard physical labor, stool disorders, diseases of internal organs and even improper nutrition can also become a provoking factor.

The exact cause is determined during the diagnosis. Doctors note that in most patients there are several of them.

Symptoms

In men and women, stage 1 hemorrhoids, a photo of which, if desired, can be found independently (unpleasant phenomenon), is characterized by mild signs. And this is at best. Sometimes this pathology does not manifest itself at all.

Most often, patients complain of a feeling of fullness, which is localized in the anus. In addition, the following symptoms may occur:

• Itching and burning in the anus. It appears at the time of bowel movement and some time after.
• The feeling of the presence in the rectum of a foreign object.
• Frequent and false urge to defecate.
• Seals near the anus. Usually have a blue-violet or dark red color.
• Traces of blood remaining on toilet paper. May also be present in feces.

For any discomfort, you need to contact a proctologist. If therapy is not started in a timely manner, then the risk of developing an inflammatory process will increase. An infection may also join. And this is fraught with consequences for the patient’s health.

Diagnostics

Only a proctologist after rectal-manual examination can prescribe treatment for hemorrhoids of stage 1-2 . This diagnostic method allows you to determine whether there are seals and secretions in the anal canal, and also to understand the state of the relief of the walls of the intestine. Finger examination is necessary to identify other concomitant bowel diseases.

Toolkit is not always used. Pose "lying" - also, can be practiced and other positions that are convenient for a person.

Such an examination helps to detect the presence of fistulas, hemorrhoidal formations, thrombosis, as well as damage to the skin. By differential diagnosis, rectal tumors can be excluded. Of course, before visiting a doctor, it is necessary to conduct hygienic procedures and cleansing enemas.

In addition, diagnostic procedures such as irrigoscopy, anoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy can be prescribed.

Venotonic

This is a group of drugs that a doctor prescribes for stage 1 internal hemorrhoids. Venotonics are necessary in order to combat diseases associated with venous insufficiency. They have the following actions:

• Normalize blood circulation.
• Venous walls are toned.
• The permeability of capillary walls is minimized.
• Improve vascular elasticity.
• Eliminate pain.
• They have anti-inflammatory effect.
• Improve the work of the cardiovascular system.
• Positive effect on the outflow of lymph.

Doctors usually prescribe the following venotonics: Asklesan, Ginkor Fort, Pileks, Detralex and Venarus.

The doctor also indicates the dosage, but the recommended amount is always in the instructions. Ginkor Fort, for example, needs to be taken 2 capsules morning and evening. And so for 1-2 weeks. Then they switch to a supportive form - 1 capsule in the morning and evening.

It is not recommended to self-medicate, since each drug has contraindications. The same "Ginkor Fort" is prohibited for use by people with disorders of the thyroid gland, individual intolerance to the components, or those who take MAO inhibitors.
