“ริดสีดวง” ไม่ใช่เรื่องน่าอาย... ตรวจพบเร็ว อาจไม่ต้องผ่า

Having hemorrhoids is often seen as an embarrassing issue that few dare to admit, which leads many to neglect seeking medical advice for their symptoms—despite how important it is! Understanding this concern, Dr. Narasara Wittyapipat, a specialist in laparoscopic surgery at the Advanced Surgical Technology Center (ASIT) at Phyathai 3 Hospital, encourages anyone at risk or experiencing digestive irregularities to come in for an evaluation. Hemorrhoids are not as shameful or frightening as many think!
<h2> 
Understanding Hemorrhoids: What Causes Them?</h2>
Dr. Narasara explains that while there is no definitive cause of hemorrhoids, they typically arise from pressure within the abdominal or thoracic cavity. This pressure often results from straining during bowel movements, especially in patients with constipation who tend to push hard and frequently. Conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can also contribute to increased pressure in the chest area.
<h2> 
Are You at Risk? Your Phone Might Be the Culprit!</h2>
One surprising risk factor for developing hemorrhoids is using your phone while in the bathroom. Doctor notes that this behavior can lead to prolonged sitting on the toilet, causing incomplete bowel movements. As a result, individuals may strain repeatedly, effectively increasing their number of bowel movements in one sitting. Some might even find themselves pushing up to ten times in a single visit!
<h2> 
Common Symptoms Patients Experience</h2>
Most patients seek medical attention due to symptoms such as bleeding, typically indicative of hemorrhoids at levels 1 or 2. For these stages, treatment often does not require surgery and can usually be managed with medication. However, if the hemorrhoids progress to levels 3 or 4, surgical intervention may be necessary.
<h2> 
How Fast Can Hemorrhoids Progress?</h2>
The timeline for hemorrhoid development varies greatly among individuals. For instance, a patient diagnosed with level 2 hemorrhoids may see their condition worsen to level 3 after straining during a bowel movement.
<h2> 
Hemorrhoid Surgery: It&#8217;s Less Painful Than You Think with Painless Surgery Techniques</h2>
As you may know, hemorrhoids come in 2 types: internal and external. Dr. Narasara explains that while there are various surgical techniques for treating internal hemorrhoids, the pain associated with these procedures is usually minimal. In contrast, external hemorrhoids tend to cause more discomfort. However, advanced techniques like automated suturing can significantly reduce pain for patients.
<h2> 
Quick Recovery After Surgery</h2>
Doctor mentions that patients can often go home on the same day as their surgery. However, if there are no pressing matters to attend to, it&#8217;s advisable to stay in the hospital for one night for observation. This allows medical staff to monitor your recovery and ensure everything is progressing smoothly.

<h2>Can Hemorrhoids Return After Surgery?</h2>
Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort but can typically resume normal bowel movements and straining without issues. Dr. Narasara states that she has not encountered any cases of recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, but it’s generally believed that if they do recur, it may take 3 to 5 years. Patients are also encouraged to adopt lifestyle changes to minimize their risk of recurrence.
 
Doctor emphasizes the importance of seeking a thorough medical evaluation for any symptoms, as not all issues are related to hemorrhoids. Some patients may have conditions such as colorectal cancer or abscesses, which present similar symptoms. Early detection is crucial, and in some cases, surgery may not even be necessary.
