Patient's question:
Yesterday, when I was using the restroom, I suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in my anus. When I wiped with toilet paper, I noticed a small amount of blood on it. There was no pain, and sometimes a lump would appear near the anus. The stool was bloody, but it never hurt. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The patient has repeatedly exhibited the aforementioned clinical symptoms, making the possibility of hemorrhoids greater. Therefore, it is recommended to revisit the hospital for a follow-up examination. A digital rectal examination can provide a definitive diagnosis. The treatment of hemorrhoids requires selecting a method based on the patient's clinical presentation and the amount of bleeding. If the bleeding is significant, it may lead to hemorrhagic shock, necessitating active surgical treatment. The specific surgical approach should be tailored to the individual's condition.
