Recently, the hot search topic on the Internet "The sales of hemorrhoid cream have tripled in 3 days" has attracted attention. The reporter visited and found that in the past half a month after the Spring Festival holiday, the sales of hemorrhoids drugs in many pharmacies in Xiamen have increased significantly, and the number of hemorrhoid patients in hospital outpatient clinics has continued to rise. In this regard, the proctologist reminds you.
Last week, Xiao Yan (pseudonym), a "post-95" generation, underwent hemorrhoids surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College. Xiao Yan has a long-term irregular work and rest, especially drinking and eating spicy food during the Chinese New Year, plus staying up late, which leads to the deterioration of hemorrhoids and blood in the stool, which requires surgery. "The three patients in my ward were young men in a similar situation to me. Xiao Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed, said: "I don't dare to stay up late anymore, I have to start paying attention to health!" ”
In a pharmacy located near Wuyuanwan Wetland Park in Huli District, the reporter learned that the store's Ma Yinglong musk hemorrhoids suppositories sold 79 pieces on the takeaway platform, and many customers came directly to the store to buy. According to the clerk of the store, in the past half a month after the Spring Festival holiday, the sales of hemorrhoids suppositories and hemorrhoids cream have increased significantly.
The reporter learned from the anorectal disease hospital of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine that since the resumption of outpatient clinics on February 17, the number of patients with anorectal diseases received by the department has increased significantly, including hemorrhoids, perianal abscesses, anal fistula and anal sinusitis. Director Xiao Qiuping introduced, "On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, just after the resumption of outpatient services, I received more than 40 patients, and it is estimated that there are more than 25 hemorrhoids. "Since the holiday, the number of patients with hemorrhoids has continued to rise, with an average of more than 100 outpatient visits per day and more than 10 surgeries per day.
It is worth noting that the condition of some patients deteriorated after the holiday. Last week, Xiao Qiuping saw four young patients with anemia caused by bleeding from long-term hemorrhoids. One patient was so severe that he fainted and was subsequently treated urgently. On examination, the patient was found to be severely anaemic.
Regarding the reason for the high incidence of anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids after the holiday, Xiao Qiuping believes that it is closely related to lifestyle habits. During the holiday season, many people drink too much alcohol, consume too much spicy food, have irregular work and rest, stay up late, sit for a long time, etc., and these bad habits can cause hemorrhoids. In addition, some patients are reluctant to come to the hospital during the Spring Festival, which delays the opportunity.
