Clinical application ① treatment of internal hemorrhoids

Alum made of 15% or 18% injection into the hemorrhoid nucleus, on the various stages of internal hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids combined with mucosal prolapse, are effective; and the course of treatment is short, with few side effects. According to hundreds of cases of observation, generally in the treatment of 5 ~ 7 days after the hemorrhoid nucleus can fall off, the vast majority of 1 ~ 2 weeks in the healing. Very few have systemic reactions and fever; post-surgical pain is not severe, about 4 hours after the disappearance; blood and *** bloating pain after stool is more common, but a large amount of bleeding is rare; urinary incontinence is also occasionally. For severe hemorrhoidal bleeding, older or physically unable to tolerate excision treatment of patients, can be applied. After the operation, there is no fear of fecal incontinence or *** stenosis; diet and bowel movement are not restricted. Operate according to the routine disinfection, local anesthesia. First use vascular forceps along the rectal longitudinal axis of the hemorrhoidal nucleus base completely clamped, and then the alum liquid into the hemorrhoidal nucleus, the amount of liquid injected into the hemorrhoidal nucleus swelling white or purple-black to the degree of (do not make the liquid leakage into the healthy tissues, so as not to cause necrosis or severe pain). Injection is completed, with vascular forceps as much as possible pressure hemorrhoids, so that it becomes a layer of film-like atrophic tissue, and then sent back to the ***, and to be pushed and kneaded, fixed with a d-ring tape. It can also be inserted into the sitting medicine. During the treatment, if there is severe pain, dysuria, blood in the stool and *** oedema and other complications, can be treated symptomatically. The disadvantages of this treatment are: it can not yet treat all types of hemorrhoids; the incision is large, and the weak are slower to close. Contraindications: an internal hemorrhoid in the inflammatory period; two due to heart disease, liver cirrhosis, malignant tumors and pregnancy and other secondary internal hemorrhoids; three with severe hypertension, renal disease, active tuberculosis and acute infectious diseases, acute and chronic gastrointestinal inflammation; four types of external hemorrhoids.

Only when the tip of the needle is confirmed to have penetrated into the submucosal layer by *** palpation can the alum liquid be pushed in (do not inject into the muscular layer, otherwise it will lead to necrosis of the intestinal wall). *** Up and down, left and right *** Select four points of injection, each point injected into the liquid 0.5 ml. Slight pain for a few hours after injection, usually no special treatment is needed.

However, it should be noted that after submucosal spot injection with 10% alum liquid around the prolapsed rectum, there was an adverse reaction causing rectal ulcer bleeding. The reason for this may be related to an injection of too much liquid, infiltration surface is too large, hindering blood circulation; two injections too close to each other, the injection point is too close to or repeat the needle, so that the second injection caused tissue necrosis; three local infection secondary bleeding and other factors. Therefore, the dosage of the drug is limited to 0.5 ml per point; the injection points should be more than 2 cm apart; the drug must be injected into the submucosal layer and the muscle layer; the interval between the two injections should be more than 1 week; pay attention to the rest, diet and prevention of infection in the treatment.

The tip of the needle can not be upward or downward (so as not to injure the bladder and rectum), and can not be tilted inward or outward (so as not to injure the uterus or cause tissue necrosis due to the injection is too shallow). After injection, there is often contraction-like distension in the lower abdomen, lumbago, poor appetite, and sometimes low-grade fever. ***Treatment of II, III ° uterine prolapse patients more than 100 cases, the results, in addition to 5 cases of ineffective, 15 cases improved, were cured.
