The frequency of external hemorrhoids is also very high. From a clinical perspective, there are inflammatory external hemorrhoids, thrombotic external hemorrhoids, as well as external hemorrhoids such as connective tissue and varicose veins. Many women with external hemorrhoids worry about being affected during pregnancy. So, does external hemorrhoids have an impact on pregnancy?
External hemorrhoids also have a certain impact on pregnancy. Most external hemorrhoids mainly grow in the anal area, which can easily cause swelling or bloody stools. If a woman suffers from external hemorrhoids, pregnancy can create some pressure on them. After pregnancy, the fetus continues to grow, which can lead to uterine growth and create significant pressure on the pelvic cavity.
Once the fetus grows significantly, it will affect the venous return. The most likely cause is the obstruction of venous return. External hemorrhoids can cause significant harm and impact on the health of pregnant women, leading to fecal bleeding or a feeling of heaviness in the anal area during pregnancy. So women with external hemorrhoids must pay attention to defecation during pregnancy and eat more foods that promote bowel movements.
Women with external hemorrhoids are advised to seek treatment first and wait until their body recovers before considering pregnancy related matters. It is best if the symptoms of external hemorrhoids have been relieved to some extent, and the doctor allows pregnancy before the woman considers it. If external hemorrhoids are severe, it is recommended to have them removed before getting pregnant. This is beneficial for women's physical health, pregnancy, and the health of the fetus.
