The main symptoms of mixed hemorrhoids include: 1. Rectal bleeding:表现为 bleeding during defecation, either as dripping blood or jet-like bleeding. The blood is bright red, does not mix with stool, and often appears on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl. 2. Pain: Pain around the anus may occur due to thrombosis or infection in the internal hemorrhoid component, and the pain often worsens during walking, coughing, or other activities. 3. Prolapse of hemorrhoidal tissue: In severe cases, the internal hemorrhoid tissue may protrude from the anal canal. In early stages, it may retract spontaneously; in more advanced cases, manual reduction may be required, or it may become irreducible. 4. Anal itching and moisture: Increased secretions lead to dampness around the anus, causing persistent itching and significantly affecting the patient's quality of life. 5. Difficulty in defecation: Mixed hemorrhoids may cause perianal swelling, redness, and pain, thereby exacerbating difficulty during bowel movements. These symptoms may appear individually or concurrently. Patients should seek timely medical attention for proper diagnosis and professional treatment.
