After careful inspection, Dr. Bu Xiaoping, director of the Anorectal Department, told Fengfengās mother that the child had hemorrhoids.
Fengfengās mother is also very puzzled. The child is only 2 years old. He usually eats milk powder. How come he got hemorrhoids?
Director Bu Xiaoping further explained that young children who eat milk powder are also likely to get hemorrhoids.
For example, the brewed milk powder is too thick, the feeding of water is too little, the child habitually holds the stool and defecates for a long time, etc. However, as long as you pay attention to the later care and cooperate with the doctor's treatment, most hemorrhoids in children can be cured.
To prevent hemorrhoids in children, please keep the following habits in mind
Although the incidence of hemorrhoids in young children is low, it cannot be ignored. Parents must pay attention to it and start with daily prevention.
1, Properly prepare the child's diet
For children who eat milk powder, be careful not to brew the milk powder too thick or too thin.
According to the weather changes in the four seasons, the frequency of water feeding should be increased or decreased appropriately. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to a reasonable diet. The daily diet should not be too high in calories, fat, and protein, so as not to cause the baby's indigestion and absorption, which will cause a burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In severe cases, it may cause diseases in the baby.
If the baby is fed complementary food, he should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, mainly light food, correct the baby's bad habits of partiality and picky eating, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and eat less food that is too refined.
2, cultivate the habit of regular defecation in children
When defecating, parents should not squat on the toilet for a long time, and parents should not defecate for a long time to prevent anal congestion and submucosal varicose veins.
At the same time, donāt let your children hold in their bowels. Holding in stool for a long time will cause difficulty in defecation and easily tear the anus.
3. Keep the anus dry and hygienic.
Be sure to wipe the child clean in time after defecation. If possible, you can also clean the child's anus.
Help your child clean this area every time he takes a bath.
In daily life, we should also pay attention to keeping the child's anus dry and hygienic to avoid bacterial infection or other diseases in the anus.
Although hemorrhoids are an adult disease, the incidence among young children has been much higher than before in recent years. Hemorrhoids can be as painful for young children as it is for adults.
