In these days when cold air persists, special attention is also needed in health care. Among them, hemorrhoids are one of the diseases that many people complain of discomfort. Hemorrhoids usually tend to increase rapidly from winter, and as the temperature decreases, blood vessels contract and blood circulation is not smooth, which is a major cause of worsening anal health. In addition, alcohol consumed at various meetings also worsens hemorrhoids and bothers patients.

In fact, hemorrhoids refer to slightly different forms, 'hemorrhoids', 'Chiroo', and 'Chiroo', and among them, hemorrhoids are known to be the most common. It is more accurate to call a disease called hemorrhoids when people see it sticking out of the anus and refer to it as 'hemorrhoids have developed'.

Hemorrhoids are diseases that cause problems in vascular tissue mass called 'Anus Cushion', which reduces the impact of bowel movements, and are divided into 'Endothelial Nucleus', which causes bleeding or lumps to protrude after bowel movements without pain, and 'External Nucleus' that appears in skin-covered areas outside the anus. At this time, when blood clots occur in the hemorrhoids, the hard mass is touched and extreme pain is felt.




According to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of hemorrhoids in 2023 was 620,000, of which those in their 40s and 50s accounted for 21.2% and 21.6%, respectively, but those in their 20s and 30s were also 11.7% and 17.9%, respectively.

The occurrence of hemorrhoids is also closely related to various lifestyle habits. Excessive force during defecation or sitting on the toilet for a long time is a typical habit that worsens hemorrhoids, and excessive drinking or lack of fiber intake can also cause related symptoms.

Kim Ji-hyung, director of colorectal surgery at Centum General Hospital, said "It is best to prevent tooth decay before it occurs, but even if it already exists, symptoms can be alleviated by improving lifestyle."He explained that "Hemorrhea is not a disease that must be treated only by surgery.".




In addition, section chief Kim Ji-hyung emphasized, "It is important to stretch or change your posture frequently if you work in the same posture for a long time, and to develop a diet that consumes enough dietary fiber and water.".

Hemorrhoids are classified from mild 1 degree to deteriorated 4 degrees depending on the degree of symptoms. If the symptoms are mild, you can actively utilize the aforementioned lifestyle improvement and medication, but if the symptoms get worse, you can try additional procedures such as rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. If symptoms do not improve even with these attempts, surgery is considered as a last resort.

Manager Kim Ji-hyung said, `There are many cases where people hide and neglect an anal disease because they are ashamed to inform others of it, and then miss the treatment period.' `It is better to get an accurate diagnosis at a hospital without feeling burdened because starting treatment in the early stages can reduce unnecessary pain.'
