1. What to do with hemorrhoids in children

1. Improve constipation

When a child gets hemorrhoids, the first thing to pay attention to is the baby's constipation problem. It is mainly used to improve constipation and is also used to treat hemorrhoids. Generally, constipation is mainly caused by obstructed bowel movements. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the child's bowel movements are smooth. The treatment of hemorrhoids must first keep the bowel movements smooth. You can eat more easily digestible foods to reduce irritation to the anal canal, and eat more vegetables, bananas, sweet potatoes, and honey every day. Eat less food containing residue, and the diet should be a combination of coarse and fine foods. Some good living habits can greatly improve the condition of constipation. As long as the constipation condition improves, hemorrhoids will gradually get better.

2. Good daily living habits

Good daily living habits can improve constipation. First of all, you should determine a bowel movement time that suits you (preferably in the morning). No matter whether you have the urge to defecate or whether you can defecate, you should go to the toilet on time. As long as you persist for a long time, you will form a conditioned reflex of regular bowel movements. Eat more fiber-rich foods and water. Foods rich in fiber can promote the secretion of digestive juices, promote intestinal peristalsis, and soften stools.

2. Symptoms of hemorrhoids in children

From the clinical situation, children's hemorrhoids are closely related to their constipation to a large extent. Constipation causes varicose veins in the internal and external hemorrhoidal plexuses, resulting in bleeding during bowel movements. The bleeding is bright red and usually in small amounts. Due to dry stool, abrasion of hemorrhoidal mucosa or skin can cause hemorrhoidal pain. In addition, constipation can cause rupture of hemorrhoidal veins and cause thrombotic external hemorrhoids. Therefore, children often dare not defecate or cry when they defecate. As parents, we should pay attention to the situation when children defecate and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Of course, if there is bleeding during bowel movements or foreign objects outside the anus, you should also pay attention to the necessary differentiation from rectal polyps and anal fissures.
