Experts say that the operation depends on the condition, and the choice of operation method is very important. The incidence of hemorrhoids increases with age, and the proportion of constipation in the elderly is higher than that in other populations. Moreover, because the nerves and blood vessels in the anorectum are in a relaxed state, it is easy to cause hemorrhoids. However, many elderly patients with hemorrhoids blindly care about the risk of surgery, which leads to the loss of treatment opportunity and the delay and aggravation of the disease. Can senile hemorrhoids be operated? Director Guo Wenkeng believes that whether surgery is needed depends on the condition, and the choice of operation method is very important. Hemorrhoids do great harm to middle-aged and elderly people. Hemorrhoids do great harm to middle-aged and elderly people. This is because hemorrhoids directly suppress people's "exports" and bring obstacles to defecation. When hemorrhoids are serious, they will come out of the anus, form thrombus after delay, and the hemorrhoid nucleus becomes hard and painful, so it is difficult to send them back to the anus, forming incarcerated hemorrhoids. If not treated in time, the incarcerated hemorrhoid nucleus will appear necrosis, which will lead to sepsis in severe cases. Long-term chronic hematochezia will inevitably lead to severe anemia and induce various diseases over time. In clinical medical research, anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids and constipation in middle-aged and elderly people will directly or indirectly induce or aggravate diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. Intestinal discomfort caused by constipation will also make it difficult for the elderly to absorb nutrients. Long-term non-defecation will cause toxins to accumulate in the body, leading to osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. Three characteristics of hemorrhoids in the elderly increase the risk. The function of the elderly tends to be low, and many people suffer from hemorrhoids. The characteristics of hemorrhoids in the elderly are also very obvious. First, it is easy to aggravate, complicated with internal hemorrhoid prolapse, incarceration, bleeding and thrombosis; Second, the elderly are often accompanied by a variety of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, chronic bronchitis and diabetes; Third, a few are simple internal hemorrhoids, most are mixed hemorrhoids, and most external hemorrhoids are skin-like connective tissue hyperplasia and varicose veins. The elderly are generally weak, and many people are accompanied by some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids who are older or accompanied by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases hope to avoid the stimulation of surgery and anesthesia as much as possible and worry about the harm of surgery to the body. "For elderly patients with hemorrhoids, regardless of their etiology and course of disease, it is generally advocated to treat them according to the severity of hemorrhoids. Surgical treatment is required for those with severe illness, and medication is required for those with mild illness. It is wrong to worry blindly about the risk of surgery. Whether surgery is needed or not, how to perform surgery requires a doctor to determine the condition. " Director Guo Wenkeng said. The prevention of hemorrhoids in the elderly can start from these points. Director Guo Wenkeng suggested that the prevention of hemorrhoids in the elderly can start from these aspects: 1. Do more exercise. Do more fitness exercises to prevent the formation of hemorrhoids. In particular, lifting the anus every day and consciously contracting the anus can effectively prevent the onset of hemorrhoids. 2. Eat healthily. The elderly should eat less spicy food, prohibit excessive drinking and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, beans and other foods, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. 3. Keep the anus clean and form regular defecation. Old people should always keep their anus clean and wash it with warm water to keep blood circulation in the anus. Moreover, regular defecation time points are formed every day, preferably twice a day, and defecation is generally chosen in the morning or after meals. 4. If you feel anal discomfort, check it in time. For the elderly, early detection and treatment of anorectal diseases is the most powerful. Therefore, when the symptoms of hemorrhoids are found, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to avoid delaying the treatment opportunity. 5. Timely treatment of chronic intestinal diseases, such as constipation, diarrhea, dysentery and enteritis. The elderly hemorrhoids can be treated minimally invasive and painless. Director Guo Wenkeng reminded that the elderly are weak. If you wait until the condition is serious to treat hemorrhoids, the risk will be much higher than usual, so pay special attention to the anorectal health problems of the elderly. If hemorrhoids are found, they should be treated as soon as possible. Don't wait until the hemorrhoids turn to the later stage, then go to treatment, which will increase the difficulty and pain of treatment. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, the physical condition of the elderly determines that they are unlikely to adopt surgical treatment. Therefore, in the case that simple drug treatment can not achieve obvious results, the elderly prefer minimally invasive and painless treatment. ()
