What medicine is effective for internal hemorrhoids?

Many people often have the habit of constipation, but they don't care about it, because they think that constipation can be cured by going to the toilet more often and there is no need to worry about anything. However, constipation over time will lead to increased pressure in the anus, and common hemorrhoids will gradually appear. Hemorrhoids are also divided into many types. Hemorrhoids that grow on the inside need to be slowly adjusted through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to achieve the therapeutic effect.

What are the treatments for internal hemorrhoids?

Internal hemorrhoids, a disease name in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a hemorrhoidal disease characterized by varicose veins above the anal dentate line, covered with mucous membrane, and often with blood in the stool, prolapsed hemorrhoids, constipation and other symptoms. Internal hemorrhoids are the most common type of anorectal disease. Internal hemorrhoids often occur at 3, 7, and 11 o'clock in the lithotomy position, also known as the mother hemorrhoid area. Internal hemorrhoids occurring in other parts are called daughter hemorrhoids. The same as the name of the disease in Western medicine. If the disease is treated early, the prognosis is generally good. However, some patients also develop complications such as anemia during the course of the disease.

The occurrence of internal hemorrhoids is mainly due to congenital weakness of the venous wall, improper diet, excessive consumption of spicy, alcoholic and rich foods, internal generation of dryness and heat which presses down on the large intestine, as well as prolonged sitting or squatting, long-distance travel with heavy loads, constipation, straining, excessive childbirth in women, and abdominal masses, which lead to poor blood circulation, blood stasis, the conflict of heat and blood, the crisscrossing of qi and blood, the entanglement of tendons and veins, and the stagnation of blood.

In fact, there are many ways to treat internal hemorrhoids and bloody stools. Among these treatment methods, which ones are more effective and what are the costs? These are the issues that every patient with internal hemorrhoids and bloody stools is concerned about. If we analyze internal hemorrhoids and blood in the stool, we will find that internal hemorrhoids are a relatively mild type of hemorrhoids, but the presence of blood in the stool will cause certain troubles in the treatment. So, what are the treatments for internal hemorrhoids?

1. Increased resting pressure of the anal canal: Due to various reasons, the resting pressure of the anal canal increases. The increased pressure tension in the internal and external sphincters and the internal pressure of the vascular space can cause an increase in resting tension, which prevents the good return of blood, causes hypertrophy and swelling of the perianal veins, and causes internal hemorrhoids.

2. Downward movement of the anal sphincter: The anal sphincter acts as a "plug" at the anus. During defecation, the formed fecal mass presses on the anal sphincter, and the smooth muscle in the subepithelial space of the anal canal and the combined longitudinal muscle fibers contract to lift the proximal end of the anal sphincter.

3. Frequent constipation: Holding your breath too hard during defecation can block venous return, causing congestion and hypertrophy of the anal cushions, which can lead to internal hemorrhoids over time.

4. Other factors: such as arteriovenous shunt regulation disorders, hyperamylasemia, dyslipidemia, etc. will increase the incidence of internal hemorrhoids.

Treatment principles for internal hemorrhoids and blood in the stool

1. Internal hemorrhoids do not require treatment if they are asymptomatic. You just need to pay attention to your diet, maintain smooth bowel movements, keep the perineum clean, and prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids only require treatment when they are accompanied by bleeding, prolapse, thrombosis and incarceration. Hemorrhoids rarely cause death directly, but if they are not treated properly and serious complications occur, they can also be fatal. Therefore, the treatment of hemorrhoids should be cautious and not taken lightly.

2. The purpose of various non-surgical treatments for internal hemorrhoids and bloody stools is to promote fibrosis of the tissues around the hemorrhoids, fix the prolapsed anorectal mucosa to the muscular layer of the rectal wall, and fix the loose anal cushions, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping bleeding and preventing prolapse.

3. Surgery should only be considered when conservative treatment fails or the connective tissue supporting stage III or IV internal hemorrhoids is extensively destroyed.
