How exactly do mixed hemorrhoids form?
Disease description:
The company had a major project, and I stayed up late for half a month straight. I eventually collapsed from exhaustion and was sent to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with mixed hemorrhoids. I would like to ask, how exactly do mixed hemorrhoids develop?

Dr. Li Jingxiang
The development of mixed hemorrhoids results from the combined effects of multiple factors. Age is an important factor; as people grow older, the tissues and muscles in the anal area gradually degenerate and lose elasticity, making them more susceptible to mixed hemorrhoids. Poor dietary habits, such as regularly consuming spicy and irritating foods, can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to congestion, edema, and bleeding in the lower rectum and anal cushions, thereby triggering mixed hemorrhoids. Unhealthy defecation habits, such as prolonged squatting on the toilet, can obstruct venous return in the anorectal region and increase pressure in the anal area, which also contributes to the formation of mixed hemorrhoids. During pregnancy and childbirth, increased pelvic and rectal pressure due to uterine enlargement, along with straining during delivery, may promote the development of mixed hemorrhoids. To prevent mixed hemorrhoids, it is essential to maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, avoid prolonged sitting or standing, and promptly treat related medical conditions.
