Hello,
To the question "Does grade 2 hemorrhoids cause constipation?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to the classification of internal hemorrhoids of the Ministry of Health, grade 2 internal hemorrhoids are prolapsed hemorrhoids. except when defecating, but can still retract on its own. Similar to other hemorrhoid grades, grade 2 internal hemorrhoids have 2 main clinical symptoms:
Bleeding: The earliest and most common symptom in hemorrhoid patients. Blood may drip, streak with stool or stream when the patient goes to the bathroom, especially when squatting. The bleeding may be fresh or clotted. Prolapsed hemorrhoids: Usually occurs more slowly, after a period of bloody stools. In grade 2 hemorrhoids, when the hemorrhoids prolapse, they can retract themselves. But if not treated, the longer the hemorrhoid is left, the more it will fall and then it will not be able to shrink up on its own. At this time, hemorrhoids have become grade 4. In addition, patients may also have symptoms of burning pain when going to the toilet, constipation, itching around the anus... In addition, grade 2 hemorrhoids do not cause constipation. If you are still constipated after adjusting your diet (drink a lot of water, eat a lot of ripe vegetables, lots of fruits), you should see your doctor again, maybe your doctor will prescribe you a stool softener to help relieve constipation. fertilizer.
