Hemorrhoid symptoms in children-abnormal bowel movements

Babies often have dry stools due to powdered milk feeding, breastfeeding disorders, or picky eating by children. After a long time, constipation gradually develops. The stool is not only dry and hard, but also dark and thick. The baby must have a difficult defecation to cry and make no noise. The mother must not think it is a child's temper. If you find such a situation, you must carefully observe the baby's abdomen to see if there is a hard feeling, and whether there is congestion, redness and swelling due to difficulty in defecation, or other characteristics.

Hemorrhoid symptoms in children-blood in the stool

There are many reasons for the baby's blood in the stool, such as intestinal diseases such as polyps, anal fissures, internal hemorrhoids, anal foreign body damage and so on. The most obvious symptoms of hemorrhoids in children are blood in the stool caused by internal hemorrhoids, which are caused by local submucosal varices in the rectum. It is characterized by a purplish nodule at the anus during defecation, coughing or crying. It doesn't hurt at first, but it feels itchy or foreign body in the anus. Children often use their hands to grab the anus. The purple nodules at the anal mouth increase during defecation, and blood in the stool is caused by abrasion or rupture. Some are simple anal bleeding, some are accompanied by stool, the blood color is bright red, the blood volume is relatively large, it is drip-like, and sometimes it is spray-like, generally without pain. If incarceration occurs, it will be painful. Internal hemorrhoids in children are mostly simple internal hemorrhoids, and rarely mixed hemorrhoids.

Pediatric hemorrhoids symptoms-pain

Young children's skin is delicate and feels very sensitive, especially in response to pain and other conditions. If the hemorrhoid vein ruptures due to excessive force to form a thrombotic external hemorrhoid, the anus will be very painful at this time, and the child will not dare to cry or cry during stool. And hemorrhoids generally cause dry and rough stools due to long-term constipation, and scratch the hemorrhoid mucosa or skin. At this time, defecation will also be accompanied by pain, which must be distinguished from rectal polyps and anal fissures.

Pediatric hemorrhoids symptoms-prolapse

Generally, children are prone to internal hemorrhoids, so the prolapse is likely to be internal hemorrhoids. If hemorrhoids prolapse, they must be promptly diagnosed in the hospital to distinguish them from polyps and other tumors. Prolapse can easily cause secretions in the anus and cause anal itching. At this time, clean the affected area in time to avoid infection. ^[1]

Three precautions to prevent pediatric hemorrhoids

(A) pay attention to local clean and dry

Babies' nerve and muscle functions are not yet perfect, and their control of stool is poor. They have bowel movements when they have bowel movements, so they have a lot of bowel movements. Some have bowel movements while feeding, and even have more bowel movements, and often have loose stools. This is a peculiar form of defecation for babies, so don't worry about it. Due to the frequent defecation and frequent loose stools, if the diaper is not changed in time, it is easy to cause flushing, ulceration and infection of the anal skin, which is commonly known as "red buttocks". To keep the baby's anus healthy, diapers must be changed at any time. Also wash the anus with warm water or warm saline after defecation. The diapers should be scalded with boiling water and exposed to the sun. When red buttocks occur, you can pour some duster powder after washing and wrap it in a soft dry diaper.

(B) establish good bowel habits

Sometimes children can't control their bowel movements and pollute their clothes. This is an unavoidable phenomenon. Parents should not blame too much, so as not to increase their mental burden. To help your child establish a regular bowel habit, poop when you have time, and do nt sit on the potty for a long time if you do nt have a bowel movement. A small number of children have the habit of sitting on the spittoon, reading books or playing, which is not good for anal health care. Parents need to help them get rid of it. Children with diarrhea may feel anxiety after anxiety. They will think that the stool is not cleaned and they slowly sit on the bedpan unwilling to get up, which may easily cause anal disease. In this case, you must try to get your child up, stimulate the anus to contract with the anus with a hand or holding it, and wash it with warm water and hot compress the anus with a hot towel to help them overcome the feeling of falling. At the same time, children with diarrhea should be treated in time. If you find that your child is crying when they have a bowel movement, or if they have very hard bowel movements, or even have red ears and red ears, find the cause in time and treat it symptomatically.

(3) Pay attention to the hygiene of the potty

Most children sit on the potty to poop. If the edge of the potty is damaged, it can scratch the skin, and if the potty is not clean, it can cause bacterial infection. Collective bedpans can also transmit diseases to each other, so people's attention must be paid to their hygiene.

In addition, most children wear

Keep the area around the anus clean and hygienic and prevent infections to prevent or aggravate hemorrhoids. Usually, anal hot compresses should be performed frequently, and panties should be changed frequently, especially when hemorrhoids occur. At least two hot anal sitting baths per day can promote anus Blood circulation, timely treatment of intestinal inflammation and local anal inflammation.

Prevention of constipation Constipation is one of the causes of hemorrhoids. In the daily diet, you should eat more foods rich in fiber and vitamins such as fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy and irritating food. You should go to the hospital for treatment and treatment of refractory constipation as soon as possible. Onset of illness, do not take laxatives or enema for a long time, so as to prevent the rectal mucosa from feeling sluggish, slow defecation reflex, aggravate constipation, and cause hemorrhoids.

Develop a habit of regular bowel movements to correct long-tolerant bowel movements, prevent prolonged periods of squatting in the toilet, and keep your mouth closed for meditation during defecation, not to laugh.

Life should be more regular physical exercise, physical exercise is conducive to blood circulation, promote gastrointestinal motility, improve blood circulation, and prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids.

Timely medication Once there is a threat of hemorrhoids, such as mild discomfort, pain, itching, blood in the stool should be used in time, often with less effort.

Avoid sedentary treatment of heart, lung, liver and other systemic diseases in time to avoid increasing abdominal pressure and hemorrhoidal vein hypertension.

The specific method of doing anal lifting is as follows: relax the whole body, or sit or stand or lie down, discard all thoughts, intentionally contract the anus, and slowly lift it up, just like to tolerate bowel movements. Then relax and do this several times to dozens of times, usually 30 times a day, twice a day. This exercise can be carried out anytime, anywhere. It can be done at work, while driving, watching TV, walking, and resting. The effect is very good.

Self-massage of hemorrhoids is the result of local blood stasis. Massage is one of the traditional Chinese methods to cure diseases. Changqiang (front of the tail bone) is the preferred point for treating hemorrhoids. Taking Changqiang can significantly improve local blood circulation. It is very effective in prevention and treatment.

Pay attention to keeping your lower body warm to keep blood flowing, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, dry intestines, and dry stools.

The cause of pediatric internal hemorrhoids is often due to congenital weakness of the rectal vein wall, plus constipation. Because of constipation, the fecal mass presses the lower rectum and the anal orifice, causing blood flow in the anus to be blocked and the veins gradually expanding.
