Hemorrhoids in children. Features

Experts say that hemorrhoids in children are quite rare, but still there is a place to be. It should be noted that young children, as a rule, are not at risk for the development of this disease. They are not characterized by all the factors provoking the disease, however, they can still appear in adolescents.

Hemorrhoids in children. Main reasons

1. According to experts, the main triggers of this kind of disease
   
   factors are frequent constipation or defecation in general. Very often, parents, accustoming their kids to the pot, put them on it according to a certain schedule, and not if necessary. It is a long sitting on the pot that leads to the appearance of such a problem as hemorrhoids in children. In addition, prolonged and continuous crying also provokes an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, due to which blood flow to the veins of the rectum increases significantly, which subsequently leads to the appearance of very uncomfortable stagnant phenomena in the pelvic organs themselves.
2. Anal hemorrhoids in adolescents develop, as a rule, due to a long stay in a sitting position at the computer. The thing is that children often sit in the wrong position, which also provokes various kinds of stagnation in the pelvic organs.
3. Often hemorrhoids in children (according to experts) is a kind of congenital pathology. Also, hereditary factors can influence his education.

First of all, it should be noted that the development of the disease, as a rule, occurs unnoticed. This period can often be accompanied by extremely unpleasant sensations in the anus. The problem itself is detected in most cases by accident. So, during bowel movements, a slight protrusion of the anus may be observed. However, prolapse of hemorrhoids, severe burning, as well as regular bleeding, which are the first symptoms of the disease, may never appear at all. All the above typical factors of the manifestation of the problem are characteristic of children of a somewhat older (school) age.

Hemorrhoid treatment

If primary signs appear, it is recommended to consult a doctor immediately. It often happens that under the “mask” of hemorrhoids, more serious problems are hidden, even such as prolapse of the rectum. In childhood, as experts say, therapy is only preventive in nature. So, you should learn to develop a simultaneous defecation without concomitant constipation or diarrhea. Important attention should be paid to diet and hygiene of the anus. If the disease has passed into an advanced stage, then it will not be possible to do without drug therapy. In any case, the doctor prescribes treatment after a series of examinations. In some situations, treatment with folk remedies is enough. More detailed and interesting information about this can be found in specialized publications on traditional medicine.
