| description | Hemorrhoids are varicose veins of the rectum that are located in or near the anal
canal and are covered by mucosa. They can occur at any age, are generally
symptomless, and affect both sexes equally. Hemorrhoids are a common complaint
among younger women and are more likely to occur during pregnancy and the
menstrual cycle. In this article, we discuss the many approaches in the
treatment of hemorrhoids. Laxatives, stool softeners, and fiber supplements are
all considered safe for use by pregnant women. Moderate use of laxatives is also
acceptable. Since there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support the safety
and efficiency of topical medicines or oral phlebotomies during pregnancy, these
treatments must to be utilized with an increased degree of extreme caution. In
the case that considerable bleeding occurs, anal packing may be a straight
forward and helpful operation to implement. A hemorhoidectomy is the treatment
option for hemorrhoids that have become strangulated, badly thrombosed, or have
bleeding that cannot be controlled. |
