After hemorrhoids are incarcerated, the internal hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus. The sphincter spasms and cannot be reset on its own, causing congestion and edema. The protruding inner core also stimulates the peripheral nerves around the anus, causing swelling and pain. In severe cases, ischemic necrosis may occur. Using a combination of Chinese herbal medicines with the functions of clearing away heat and dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and astringing, fumigating and washing hemorrhoids, improving blood circulation in local tissues, combined with reasonable dietary therapy and nourishment, can often achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhoids, not only eliminating clinical symptoms but also ensuring long-term efficacy.
