Symptoms of varicose veins in the anus are recorded in almost half of women who have recently given birth. However, in order to get rid of this disease, it is not so easy to treat hemorrhoids with hepatitis B, since the therapy has a number of distinctive features. The drugs that are used during this period must be effective, thus relieving symptoms while being safe for the baby. In addition, it is worth noting that the treatment of hemorrhoids with hepatitis B is allowed by alternative methods, as well as by minimally invasive techniques. This is what we will talk about in this article.
Causes of disease
Before you start treating hemorrhoids with hepatitis B, you need to understand the causes that cause this disease. This disease is caused by vascular insufficiency. Hemorrhoids may bediagnosed in both women and men, but in the fair sex, it often occurs during childbearing, as well as in the postpartum period during breastfeeding. Such a widespread disease in Russia is associated with the changes that occur in a woman's body after conception.
The formation of the fetus causes increased blood circulation, but cavernous formations, weakened by venous insufficiency, which consist of capillaries and veins, cannot always cope with such blood flow in the pelvic area. In such a situation, during pregnancy, a predisposition to the development of the pathological process, as well as to its progress, begins to form.
The treatment of hemorrhoids with HB will differ depending on the reasons that provoked it. But what are they? These should include:
- Swift or prolonged birth process. The fact is that strong straining during contractions increases blood pressure directly inside the abdominal cavity, which provokes the formation of hemorrhoids or their sharp increase in size. In some cases, large formations begin to fall out, pinching and causing sharp pain.
- Occurrence of problems with bowel movements. In the postpartum period, a woman often has constipation, as well as difficulty with bowel movements. After some time, this problem recedes, but the threat of hemorrhoids increases for a few more weeks.
- Liquid stool. Diarrhea is just as bad for the rectal walls as constipation. Liquid masses contribute to irritation of the mucous membrane in the anus, as well as the development of inflammation and blood flow to the cavernous bodies.
- Heavy lifting. When a woman constantly carries a baby in her arms, as well as other heavy objects, this can cause increased blood flow to the venous congestion and protrusion of hemorrhoidal bumps.
- Poor mobility. The fact is that the birth of a baby in women for some time becomes the cause of a decrease in physical activity, since initially the fair sex is restored, and then they sit with their newborn baby. All this provokes congestion in the pelvic area.
Before considering the treatment of hemorrhoids during breastfeeding, you should pay attention to the fact that this disease can be detected both immediately after childbirth and after a couple of weeks. The more predisposing factors a woman has, the more likely it will be to develop this unpleasant disease.
Symptoms of hemorrhoids during lactation
Specialists in the field of medicine distinguish between chronic and acute forms of hemorrhoids. In the acute form, the disease may manifest itself for the first time or worsen. Chronic hemorrhoids accompanies a woman for a long time. The main signs of this disease are soreness, inflammation, bleeding, burning, itching, and prolapse of cavernous formations. The severity of these symptoms will depend on the stage of the pathological process. Treatment of hemorrhoids during breastfeeding will also depend on the stage of its development. Consider them separately:
- First degree. At the initial stage of development, the disease is rarely accompanied by any painful sensations. The most pronounced discomfort is only during defecation. At the same time, the woman feels itchy, small drops of blood can be seen on the toilet paper.
- Second degree. At this stage, the pain syndrome increases, the woman feels the presence of some foreign object in the anus. Bleeding during bowel movements is more severe. The main sign of the 2nd stage is the exit of cavernous neoplasms from the anus. At the same time, they can return to their place on their own.
- Third degree. Symptoms begin to intensify: itching, soreness increases. The bleeding becomes massive. Nodules that go outside can no longer independently return back to the anus. Therefore, the woman is forced to set them back with her fingers.
- Fourth degree. This stage is the most severe for hemorrhoidal disease. Cavernous formations in this case can no longer be inserted back due to the large size and weakening of the muscles of the rectum. There is a possibility of developing various complications, which should include thrombosis of the nodules, as well as their infringement.
The chronic form of the disease is characterized by the least severity of symptoms. But at any moment this form is capable ofworsen as hemorrhoids increase in size over time.
