One of the most dangerous manifestations of hemorrhoids is bleeding, especially if the discharge becomes abundant. The threat of bleeding lies in the fact that in a short time it causes anemia in a person. The level of hemoglobin can drop to critical levels, 70 g / l, which will lead to the development of serious, often irreparable consequences. Anemia, provoked by severe bleeding from inflamed hemorrhoids, can be acute( occurring with a single heavy blood loss) and chronic. Anemia with hemorrhoids has the following symptoms:
- Patient's skin becomes pale;
- The person loses efficiency and quickly becomes tired;
- He has frequent headaches and tinnitus;
- Possible loss of consciousness.
This symptomatology is typical for the acute form of anemia, in which there are cases of immediate threat to life. In such situations, blood transfusion is required. Only emergency measures can save the life of a patient with acute hemorrhoidal anemia. The chronic form of anemia has its symptoms and.people who suffer from it usually complain of increased sweating, heart palpitations, drowsiness, fatigue and constant weakness. An experienced specialist with such clinical manifestations will be able to easily diagnose a patient, confirmed by the results of laboratory blood tests.
Due to the fact that any kind of anemia accompanying hemorrhoids is a very disturbing sign, a person, who has it, needs careful treatment. It should be aimed at eliminating the anemia itself and the factor that provoked it. In some cases, an emergency surgery may be required to remove the inflamed and bleeding nodes. In chronic hemorrhoids, which usually develop on the background of other pathologies of the digestive tract, among which the appearance of malignant neoplasms in the rectum is frequent, anemia is an indisputable reason for an urgent appeal to a qualified specialist. It is unacceptable to take independent measures to get rid of the disease, as this can lead to the development of serious complications that threaten not only health but also the life of the patient.
