Ms. Thanh suffered from hemorrhoids 12 years ago, when she gave birth to her first child and became more serious when giving birth to her second child. Recently, her hair has increased, and she has been introduced by acquaintances, conveniently using traditional medicine to dry and make hair loss worse, without surgery. However, after 2 weeks of applying the medicine, all 3 bottles of medicine without labels, unknown ingredients, the pipes were swollen and edema, causing severe pain and burning.
On September 29, Ms. Thanh was taken to Ho Chi Minh City General Hospital for emergency treatment in pain, with expanded phi buttocks, ulcers and signs of purple black, necrotizing.
Master, Doctor Nguyen Thanh Bien, Center for Endoscopy and Gastroenterological Endoscopy Surgery, Tam Anh General Hospital, said that the endoscopy results of the rectal examination recorded closed laryngospheral muscles, mixed feces on the surface of inflammation, and some other feces were purple-black.
The doctor diagnosed Ms. Thanh with severe anorectal infection and complications of necrotizing vascular embolization. Patients need to be treated to prevent dangerous complications such as spreading infections, causing serious inflammation, forming anorectal abscess, narrowing the anus, etc., even threatening their lives.
Initially, Ms. Thanh refused treatment because she wanted to complete the whole treatment of traditional medicine. A few days later, the condition became more serious, the hives were almost completely covered, and there were signs of clogged blood vessels (the inside cuticle block block the blood flow), causing the hives to become swollen, stiff and painful, she continued to seek a second emergency.
At this time, the anorectal area was edema, swollen and infected, so the doctor treated the area with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs at high doses for 2 days to reduce edema, then underwent surgery. The patient underwent surgery to have the amputation and nhiostasis of the necrotic organization using the classic Milligan - Morgan method (open surgery). Finally, use a specialized garnish to apply a blood pressure band and protect the surgical site.
After surgery, Ms. Thanh was able to walk and have normal diarrhea after 1 day and was discharged after 3 days. Patients are instructed on how to clean surgical spots and re-examine according to the doctor's appointment to monitor the healing process, as well as take timely improvement measures if there are complications of anorectal narrowing in cases of severe inflammation.
Doctor Bien said that this is a complication after treating hemorrhoids using methods that do not have a traditional medical basis. The use of floating drugs of unknown origin has many potential risks and dangerous complications. These drugs have difficulty determining their ingredients, sometimes when combined without scientific basis, with the source and quality of medicinal herbs, and are difficult to control... so the treatment effects are difficult to assess and can have potential harmful effects on health.
When there are symptoms, people should go to a reputable hospital for specific examination and consultation. In case of mild hemorrhoids, the doctor will guide the diet and treatment according to the prescription at home.
For severe hemorrhoids, patients need surgery or procedures to remove hemorrhoids, and are treated with prescription drugs at the hospital. If you experience severe complications such as severe and continuous pain, swollen, tight hives, dark purple or black discharge, causing bleeding to the anus, pain, burning, difficulty living... you need to be hospitalized immediately for timely intervention.
