Causes of thrombosed hemorrhoids and methods of reducing swelling

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are a type of external hemorrhoids. Generally speaking, patients may have a long-term preference for spicy and stimulating foods, have difficulty defecating, and generally take a long time to defecate, which leads to blood congestion. The symptoms of patients with thrombosed hemorrhoids are usually accompanied by a foreign body sensation and swelling in the anus, and severe cases may also be accompanied by symptoms such as erosion and bleeding. For thrombosed hemorrhoids, swelling is a common symptom, which requires mastering some methods to quickly reduce swelling.

1. Causes of thrombosed hemorrhoids

1. Problems with poor blood circulation

① Defecation will increase the pressure in the abdomen, which may easily obstruct the blood circulation in the abdomen.

② The venous blood in the rectum does not flow smoothly when passing through the blood vessels in the anus.

③ The mucosal tissue at the anus relaxes, causing the venous blood lining wall to become thinner.

④ Poor anorectal blood circulation causes rapid expansion of venous blood, long-term accumulation, congestion, and the formation of thrombosed external hemorrhoids.

2. Lifestyle issues

① Bad bowel habits: squatting in the toilet for a long time can easily put pressure on the venous blood, resulting in poor circulation, which can cause thrombosis and external hemorrhoids.

② Excessive stress: Excessive pressure from work or study can easily cause mental fatigue, which is also the cause of thrombosed external hemorrhoids.

③ Poor diet: Eating greasy, spicy, and irritating foods frequently can easily cause thrombosed external hemorrhoids.

④ Diseases in life, such as high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, etc., can also cause thrombosed external hemorrhoids.

2. Symptoms of Thrombosed Hemorrhoids

After defecation or straining, a round or oval lump suddenly appears under the skin at the edge of the anus. The patient feels abnormal pain, which worsens during activity or defecation. Due to sphincter spasm, there is a foreign body sensation in the lower part of the appendix and anus, which hinders walking and makes sitting or lying down restless. The surface of the lump is slightly darker in color, sometimes purple-red, slightly hard, and obviously painful to touch. Sometimes after 2-3 days, the blood clot is absorbed, the pain is relieved, and it can heal itself. Sometimes the infection becomes purulent and the epidermis breaks, resulting in anal fistula.

3. Methods for reducing swelling of thrombosed hemorrhoids
