Does hemorrhoids cause lower abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

I have had hemorrhoids for a while. Sometimes, the wound around my anus will be swollen and painful. But now, I suddenly feel intermittent pain in my lower abdomen, but I don't have diarrhea. Is this colitis or caused by hemorrhoids? Has my hemorrhoid expanded severely again? Should I have surgery to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

If acute peritonitis occurs again, it may easily lead to nausea, dry heaving, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it may cause a recurrence of fever. You can go to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound, and cooperate with tests for amylase and lipase. Try to maintain a light diet, and strictly prohibit defecation if necessary. If the symptoms are severe, hospitalization treatment is required to prevent the occurrence of acute pancreatitis.
