1. What is hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are a pathology associated with changes in the normal structure of the anal canal. The nature of hemorrhoids is the vascular plexus in the anal canal, when the blood is not circulated, the veins are stagnant and stretch and gradually dilate, depending on the level, causing more or less hemorrhoids. Based on the location of the hemorrhoid arising above or below the dentate line in the anus, hemorrhoids are divided into 3 types: internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids.Hemorrhoids can occur at any age.
Internal hemorrhoids: are hemorrhoids that originate above the dentate line. Hemorrhoids are covered by mucosa and transitional epithelium. External hemorrhoids: when hemorrhoids originate below the dentate line (also known as the anal-rectal line). Hemorrhoids are covered with squamous epithelium and lie beneath the skin surrounding the anus Mixed hemorrhoids are a combination of internal and external hemorrhoids
2. Why should hemorrhoids be detected early?
Hemorrhoids often progress silently and quietly, the first time the symptoms of the disease are not really clear, plus the patient's fear of not going to the doctor and getting treatment early. When the disease becomes more severe, the patient will have many difficulties in living and have many other complications. At this point, the treatment will be extremely complicated and very expensive.The more severe the hemorrhoids, the longer the treatment time.
