Will hemorrhoids bleed if the stool is not dry?
Hemorrhoids may bleed if the stool is not dry, but the probability of bleeding is relatively low. If patients have hemorrhoids, it is recommended that they go to the hospital for a timely diagnosis, improve relevant examinations, and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Hemorrhoids are caused by venous congestion and enlargement at the lower end of the anal canal or rectum, which may be related to long-term constipation, sitting for too long, and other reasons. Because there are varicose veins in the anus of patients with hemorrhoids, when patients strain too hard during defecation or the stool is too dry, it may cause the varicose veins to rupture and bleed, resulting in bleeding after defecation or jet-like bleeding. However, since the stool of patients with hemorrhoids is not dry, there are generally no obvious symptoms of bleeding after defecation or jet-like bleeding. If patients have diseases such as anal fissures, they may also cause the above symptoms. Anal fissures are usually caused by tears in the anal canal skin, which may be related to long-term constipation, diarrhea, and other factors. Because there are ulcerated surfaces in the anus of patients with anal fissures, defecation will stimulate the ulcerated surfaces, causing pain, bleeding, and other symptoms. However, since the feces of patients with anal fissures are not dry, there will also be no obvious symptoms of bleeding after defecation or jet-like bleeding. For patients with hemorrhoids, drugs such as compound carrageenan ester ointment and bear bile hemorrhoid ointment can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Surgical treatment can also be considered if necessary. For patients with anal fissures, they can be treated with nitroglycerin ointment and erythromycin ointment under the guidance of a doctor.
