How to treat hemorrhoids and anal fistulas? Treatment methods recommended by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners

Anal fistula is a relatively common disease, often manifested by symptoms such as blood in the stool, itching, and pain in the stool. Hemorrhoids and anal fistulas are usually treated surgically, but there are several treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine that can avoid the pain of surgical injuries, but the treatment time will be slightly longer.

1: Use drugs that replenish qi and blood, support positive energy, and expel poisons to prevent them from entering the body. This method is suitable for the middle stage of perianal abscess, when the vital energy is weak, the toxic evil is dominant, and the poison cannot be expelled out. The perianal carbuncle has a flat appearance, scattered roots, and is difficult to ulcerate and decay. If the toxic gas is strong but the vital energy is not weakened, drugs that can drain pus can be used to promote the early discharge of pus and reduce swelling and pain, so as to prevent the pus from spreading and causing future troubles.

1: Mainly use tonic medicine to restore the body's vitality, help the affected area to regenerate, and make the sores and fistulas heal as soon as possible. This method is suitable for the elderly with weak body, weak qi and blood, in the late stage of ulcer, or after surgery for anorectal diseases, when the heat and toxicity have gone, the lesions have been eliminated, but the patients are mentally exhausted, weak vital energy, clear and thin pus, and difficult to heal sores, as well as patients with bloody stools and prolapse. Anyone with weak qi and blood should nourish qi and blood, anyone with weak spleen and stomach should regulate the spleen and stomach, and anyone with insufficient liver and kidney should nourish the liver and kidney. However, when the toxic evil has not been completely eliminated, do not use tonic methods too early, so as to avoid the internal accumulation of pathogenic factors and long-term harm.

1: Diet therapy: Mung bean and coix seed porridge: 20 grams of mung bean, 20 grams of coix seed, and 50 grams of japonica rice. Wash mung beans and coix seeds separately, put them in a pot, add 500 ml of water and glutinous rice, boil them over high heat for 5 minutes, then simmer for 30 minutes until they become porridge and eat while hot. It can clear away heat and dampness, and is mainly used to treat anal fistula, dry and hard stools and other symptoms.

2: A small folk remedy: put 6 grams of chrysanthemum, 6 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of green tea leaves into a teacup and brew with boiling water. Let it simmer for a while. It has a light and elegant fragrance, which can clear away heat and detoxify, benefit blood circulation, remove dampness and relieve swelling and pain of anal fistula.

3: At the same time, the occurrence of anal fistula is closely related to dampness and heat, so greasy and damp food should be consumed in moderation, and the habits of smoking, drinking and drinking tea should be quit. You should eat more light foods rich in vitamins, such as winter melon, loofah, mung beans, radish, etc.

4: Anal fistula that does not heal for a long time is mostly of the deficiency type. The diet should include foods rich in protein, such as lean meat, beef, mushrooms, dates, and sesame seeds. In addition, foods that can prevent and treat deficiency syndrome include fungus, yam, coriander, leek, eggplant, water chestnut, water chestnut, lotus root, fennel, lychee, chicken, lamb, fig, etc.

1: It mainly uses dissipative drugs to dissipate the initial anal carbuncle and inflammatory external hemorrhoids, avoiding the pain of pus festering and incision. This method is suitable for diseases such as perianal carbuncle without pus formation, inflammatory external hemorrhoids, thrombosed external hemorrhoids and anal fissures. But the specific usage is extremely flexible, because the causes of various diseases are different, and the nature of the diseases is also different, so the treatment methods must also vary according to the disease. If there is external evil, it is necessary to resolve the exterior; if there is internal fullness, it is necessary to clear the interior; if there is accumulation of heat and toxicity, the heat should be cleared and toxicated; if there is condensation of cold evil, it should be warmed and unblocked; if there is qi stagnation, qi should be promoted; if there is blood stasis, blood circulation should be activated and blood stasis should be removed, etc. At the same time, treatment should be flexible according to the strength of the patient's constitution and the different meridians to which the carbuncle belongs.

There are simple methods, such as sitz bath, etc., but anal fistula does not have the characteristics of self-healing, and only surgery can cure it completely. Other methods are only auxiliary treatments, so anal fistula should be treated surgically as soon as possible.
