Summary on Hemorrhoids (Hemorrhoidal Crises) Hemorrhoids, common after the age of 50, especially in men, manifest as burning or a sensation of heat in the anus, particularly after bowel movements. They result from the dilation and inflammation of anal veins and can be internal or external (the latter being more painful). Causes: Chronic constipation, hard stools (due to a lack of fiber and hydration), overuse of laxatives, a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, consumption of spices, alcohol, or caffeine, pregnancy, and certain sports (cycling, horseback riding). Precautions: Avoid self-medication. Consult a doctor in case of bleeding, chronic itching, pain, or persistent symptoms (burning, oozing), as these may indicate other conditions (fissures, fistulas, etc.). Do not continue treatment without medical advice for more than 48 hours if pain persists. Best Practices: - Prevention: Engage in physical activity (except cycling/horseback riding), adopt a fiber-rich diet, drink 1.5 liters of water per day, avoid prolonged sitting, and identify trigger foods. - During a crisis: Avoid straining during bowel movements, use soft toilet paper or wet wipes. Treatments: In France, many medications are available, but their effectiveness is limited. Oral anti-hemorrhoidal treatments (plant extracts) are not recognized as effective by the HAS (French National Authority for Health) and are no longer reimbursed. Local treatments (anesthetics like lidocaine) provide temporary relief, but only prescription corticosteroid derivatives are truly effective. A medical consultation is recommended.
