What to do with anal prolapse? What medicine to use?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rectal prolapse is mostly caused by insufficient Qi and blood in the human body, sinking of Qi in the middle or downward flow of damp heat, and long-term diarrhea, which results in the inability of the rectum to contract and consolidate. For example, "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases" said: "Rectal prolapse is the protrusion of the anus, which is mostly caused by long-term intestinal deficiency and coldness." According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the principle of replenishing the deficiency and purging the excess can be followed. Rectal prolapse can be treated with astringent drugs to treat the symptoms, and qi-invigorating drugs to treat the root cause. Here are three small prescriptions that patients with anal prolapse can try:

First, take internally to treat the symptoms: 10 grams of Citrus aurantium, 8 grams of Cimicifuga heracleifolia, 15 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, and 10 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, decocted and taken twice a day. Replenish Qi and consolidate deficiency.

Second, apply anal lifting cream externally: grind pomegranate peel, coleus seeds, and gallnut into powder, take equal parts and mix evenly. Use sesame oil to make a 50% concentration plaster. Apply the ointment on the anus before going to bed, then gently pull the anus back with your hands and secure it with sterilized gauze. Generally, the medication is most effective when used at night. If the condition is more serious, it can also be applied during the day. Heavy physical labor should be avoided during treatment.

Third, fumigation and washing for anus lifting: 50 grams each of kelp, gallnut, toon root bark, pomegranate peel and alum, decocted in water, sit in a basin when warm, fumigate first and then wash the anus, 20-30 minutes each time, once in the morning, noon and evening.

Experts emphasize: Patients with anal fissures cannot use the above two external prescriptions, and should stop taking the medicine after the prolapse is recovered.

Clinical symptoms of rectal prolapse:

1. Moisture: The anal sphincter is relaxed and weak in contraction, and mucus often flows out, causing the anus to become moist and soiling clothes. In severe cases, it can irritate the skin around the anus and cause symptoms such as itching.

2. Incarceration: If the rectal prolapse cannot be reduced in time, it will cause incarceration and the patient will suffer from great pain. At this time, treatment should be taken immediately, otherwise it will cause more serious consequences.

3. Heaviness and distension: Due to rectal intussusception, the anus is compressed and the patient will feel heaviness and distension in the anus. Some even feel heaviness and distension in the thigh and lumbar sacral area.

4. Bleeding: Generally there are no bleeding symptoms, occasionally the stool is dry, the mucous membrane is scratched by forceful defecation, the stool is bloody or there is blood on the toilet paper.
