Patient's question:
After a cesarean section, things are different downstairs. When touching the inside of the labia with your hand, it feels weak and something is inside. I always feel the urge to urinate, and the area around the anus always feels hard, as if there is unpassed stool. A small piece of flesh has protruded around the anus. What could be the cause? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, a small lump of flesh has protruded around the anus, diagnosed as hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are soft venous clusters formed by the extension and curvature of venous plexuses under the mucous membrane at the end of the human rectum and under the skin of the anal canal. They are also known as piles, hemorrhoidal tumors, hemorrhoidal disease, or hemorrhoidal conditions. In medicine, hemorrhoids refer to internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids, which are a chronic disease consisting of one or more soft venous clusters formed by the of venous plexuses at the base of the anal rectum and anal mucosa.
