Hello,
With the question “Does blood donation when having grade 4 hemorrhoids affect health? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Internal hemorrhoids is one of the problems that many people encounter, not only seriously affecting the quality of life, causing pain and suffering for patients but also hemorrhoids. There are also many dangerous complications if not detected in time. Hemorrhoids can lead to blood loss and serious infection if not treated early.
In case you don't lose blood, you can still donate blood. However, if you have severe hemorrhoids, you need to see a specialist in Gastroenterology to consider surgical intervention.
If you still have questions about donating blood when you have grade 4 hemorrhoids, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
