“Rescue” mothers from the fear of postpartum hemorrhoids

For the “diaper group”, postpartum hemorrhoids are always a haunting problem but difficult to talk to anyone. The painful disease combined with the worry of taking care of children makes many women grit their teeth and endure, the pressure only increases.

Not daring to treat hemorrhoids because of the burden of a small child... Patient PVT (30 years old, Tay Ho, Hanoi ) confided: "After giving birth to the second child, I considered my mission complete, but I did not feel relieved because of hemorrhoids". Ms. T. said that since giving birth to her first child, hemorrhoids had appeared. During her second pregnancy, she often experienced heavy bleeding from the anus, hemorrhoids falling out with increasing frequency. After giving birth, hemorrhoids constantly prolapsed, making patient T.'s time taking care of her children even more difficult: "I felt extremely tired while breastfeeding my child, the pain was like torture. The hemorrhoids almost completely protruded out, I had to sit carefully and tiptoe while holding my child to avoid the pain". The torture reached its peak: "Every time I went to the toilet, tears and snot streamed down my face because of the pain". Despite the pain, Ms. T. did not seek treatment immediately, partly because she was hesitant to mention and share her secret illness, and partly because she was busy taking care of her children and did not have time to pay attention to herself. In particular, she shared her fear: "Treatment of hemorrhoids is afraid of painful surgery, especially if you have to stay in the hospital for a long time, it is impossible because the child is too young." Luckily, Ms. T. unexpectedly found her when her cousin CBN (35 years old, Hanoi) understood, sympathized with her and introduced her to a hemorrhoid treatment address. Accordingly, Ms. N. is also a postpartum hemorrhoid patient who has just successfully treated hemorrhoids at Thu Cuc TCI International General Hospital. With positive experiences here, Ms. N. did not hesitate to share her experiences as well as enthusiastically support Ms. T. to register for examination and treatment. Here, patient T. was received, diagnosed and advised on treatment methods by Dr. Le Tu Anh, Department of Surgery, Thu Cuc TCI International General Hospital. Through examination, the doctor said that the patient had grade 3 internal hemorrhoids with many excess anal skin folds, and through endoscopy, the hemorrhoids were bleeding. The doctor added: "In this case, the patient is at grade 3, medical treatment with drugs is no longer effective and immediate surgical intervention is needed to avoid complications." According to the doctor, hemorrhoids are common in postpartum women due to many factors, including physiological changes and pressure during pregnancy. As the fetus develops, pressure on the pelvic and rectal veins increases, causing varicose veins and hemorrhoids. In addition, weight gain and blood flow to the pelvic area during pregnancy also contribute to this condition. Treatment of hemorrhoids for postpartum women also needs more attention than for normal subjects due to the fear of surgery after giving birth, especially the psychological impact on the child. “Choosing a minimally invasive, quick recovery method should be a priority when choosing treatment” – Dr. Le Tu Anh shared.

Undergoing spinal anesthesia, patient T. began to have hemorrhoid burning. The treatment process lasted about 30 minutes and went smoothly, patient T. was alert and talked comfortably throughout the procedure. Regarding the case, Dr. Le Tu Anh said: "Choosing Laser Diode is the best solution for patient T. when the internal hemorrhoids are in stage 3, the patient is very afraid of pain and wants to be treated as quickly as possible to have time to take care of her young child." This is currently an advanced technique in hemorrhoid treatment with minimally invasive characteristics and does not use conventional surgical equipment. Explaining the method, the doctor said: "Laser Diode applies laser energy to flatten hemorrhoid tissue and cut off the blood supply to hemorrhoids, thereby shrinking the hemorrhoids without surgery." On the patient side, Ms. T. was satisfied: "While doing it, I talked to the doctor about how to stitch the excess skin beautifully. After 5-6 hours, I was able to walk again. Overall, the hemorrhoid cauterization was a pleasure, not painful at all." Besides, she somewhat regretted not having the treatment sooner: "If I had known that hemorrhoid cauterization was this enjoyable and could be cured in one day, I would not have let the disease get to this point. The little one only needs to be sent to grandparents for a day." and did not forget to joke, "After the treatment, I can happily return to my role as a mother!"
