Are there any effects if internal hemorrhoids are constantly prolapsed?
Internal hemorrhoids that protrude permanently can easily lead to incarceration, causing inflammatory edema. Constant friction over a long period can also cause the surface of the hemorrhoids to break and bleed. Additionally, contamination and waste matter may infect the hemorrhoids. Due to the prolonged protrusion outside the anus, the local circulation can become obstructed, leading to swelling and even inducing local thrombosis, which causes pain in the anus. Therefore, it is not possible to reinsert the prolapsed internal hemorrhoids back into the anus. In such cases, it is advisable to seek prompt medical treatment at a hospital's colorectal surgery department. Surgical options like hemorrhoid banding, PPH (Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids), or TST (Transanal Hemorrhoidal Dearterialization) are recommended. Post-surgery care should include the use of anal cleansers, red oil gauze strips, and golden ointment for dressing changes. Additionally, it is crucial to maintain smooth bowel movements.
