Some people develop internal hemorrhoids, but the area is relatively sensitive, and they have difficulty in seeking treatment, so they will look for various folk remedies for treatment. So, are there any external medicines for internal hemorrhoids that can tighten the anus and reduce swelling? What are they?

Nowadays, there are more and more toxic foods in society, which leads to the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Many patients with mild hemorrhoids want to use external medications for treatment, so as to facilitate the treatment. So, what are the external medications for internal hemorrhoids that can shrink the anus and reduce swelling?

In clinical practice, Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment, Jiuhua Ointment, Sihuang Ointment, and Huanglian Ointment are often used. When using, just squeeze or apply the ointment on the internal and external hemorrhoids along the anal dentition line. Its functions are to reduce swelling, relieve pain and stop bleeding. In addition to the commonly used suppositories and ointments, traditional Chinese medicine also includes Chinese medicine fumigants and washes for external use in the treatment of hemorrhoids. Western medicine includes antibiotic ointments and 50% magnesium sulfate liquid wet compresses, all of which have the effects of reducing swelling, stopping bleeding, and relieving pain. These drugs can only be used clinically to relieve symptoms and as auxiliary treatment after surgical treatment.

In addition, while using topical medications for hemorrhoids, it is recommended to take a sitz bath in warm, light salt water 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 20 minutes, which will also have a good anti-inflammatory and detumescent effect. During the use of topical medications for hemorrhoids, you should also pay attention to changing your diet structure, eat less spicy and cold foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and develop a good habit of regular bowel movements in the morning to avoid long-term constipation. At the same time, you should exercise moderately and strengthen gastrointestinal motility.

For patients with general constipation, you can adopt a reasonable diet and develop a habit of regular bowel movements; for stubborn constipation or constipation caused by certain diseases, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and do not take laxatives or enema for a long time. Because long-term use of laxatives can not only cause congestion and dilation of rectal blood vessels, but also lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Long-term enema will cause sensory impairment of the rectal mucosa, sluggish defecation reflex, aggravate constipation, and contribute to the occurrence of hemorrhoids.

When using topical medications, patients with hemorrhoids must consult a doctor first and read the precautions in the instructions in detail. During the use of the medication, they must not drink alcohol or smoke, and avoid spicy foods.
