Symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women
During pregnancy, many women experience hemorrhoids due to the growing fetus increasing the size of the uterus, which in turn presses on the veins in the legs that affect the blood flow back to the heart. This pressure impacts the venous plexus around the anus, leading to the development of prolapsed tissue around the anus, pain during bowel movements, and blood in the stool, as well as changes in the nature of bowel movements. At this time, it is important to visit a hospital to assess the severity of the hemorrhoids. If the condition is not severe, changes can be made through personal habits, including drinking more water, eating fresh vegetables and fruits, and engaging in moderate exercise to promote bowel movement. If pain and bleeding are severe, it is advisable to seek surgical treatment at a hospital.
