Does staying in bed for too long lead to hemorrhoids?
If the patient stays in bed for too long, it may lead to the possibility of hemorrhoids. Common hemorrhoids include internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids, which are related to various factors, such as sitting for a long time, constipation, pregnancy, prostatic hypertrophy, etc.
The cause of the disease has not been fully clarified, which may be related to the downward movement of the anal cushion, varicose veins, long-term drinking, and eating a large amount of stimulating food. Excessive time spent defecating is the main factor that triggers internal hemorrhoids. If the defecation time is relatively long, and the patient exerts too much force, it will lead to an increase in the degree of downward movement of the anal cushion, and it is easy to cause the internal hemorrhoids to protrude from the anus. After lying in bed for a period of time, the patient may return to the anus spontaneously;
Most external hemorrhoid patients do not have obvious symptoms. If you do not pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the perineum, which causes stool to stimulate the anus, it may lead to external hemorrhoid edema and pain. If external hemorrhoid patients sit or stand for a long time, which leads to increased pressure on the anus, it may lead to poor blood return and the formation of thrombotic external hemorrhoids in the anus, resulting in pain and swelling. If the thrombotic external hemorrhoids cannot be returned in time, it may lead to incarceration, causing edema and pain to intensify;
If there are symptoms of internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids, such as anal pain, itching, and swelling, staying in bed for too long may lead to the aggravation of mixed hemorrhoids, and it is prone to anal swelling, pain, bleeding, and other symptoms. If you stay in bed for a long time and experience hemorrhoid symptoms, timely treatment is needed. In daily life, pay attention to your diet and avoid eating spicy and stimulating food. At the same time, it is recommended to exercise appropriately and avoid maintaining one position for a long time.
