How to treat external hemorrhoids? There are methods to treat external hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a common disease. In modern life, the incidence of hemorrhoids is gradually increasing because people sit in the office for a long time and do not exercise. Hemorrhoids are also divided into internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids, and different hemorrhoids have different treatments. So, how can external hemorrhoids be treated?

1: After the onset of the disease, you should rest, take anti-inflammatory drugs orally, use nitre-alum lotion for fumigation after defecation and before going to bed, and apply anti-inflammatory drugs externally; dip gauze in 25% boric acid and glycerin solution and apply it to the anus, and then apply a hot water bag externally, the effect is significant. Internal and external medication can cure it.

1: When connective tissue external hemorrhoids have no obvious symptoms, no treatment is required. Maintain anal hygiene and bathe with warm salt water after defecation to prevent recurrent infection. If necessary, you can take Ma Ren Zi Pi Pills and Tong Bian Ling orally. If there is inflammation, apply local hot compress, fumigate with nitrate alum lotion after defecation and before going to bed, and apply anti-inflammatory ointment externally. When non-surgical treatment is ineffective, external hemorrhoidectomy can be performed.

1: Non-surgical treatment: The patient should rest, avoid spicy food and drinking alcohol, take Ma Ren Zi Pi Wan orally when constipated to facilitate bowel movements, and use nitrate alum lotion for fumigation after defecation.

2: Surgical treatment: If the thrombus has not dissolved and absorbed but has increased in size and symptoms have worsened after one week of non-surgical treatment, thrombectomy can be performed in time to immediately relieve pain. There are two methods for thrombosed external hemorrhoids: finger squeezing removal and separation removal. Finger squeeze removal is suitable for isolated thrombi with no adhesion to the surrounding areas. Separation and removal is suitable for patients with larger thrombi that are adhered to the surrounding areas or with multiple thrombi.

1: If there are no internal hemorrhoids or the symptoms are not obvious and the lump is small, no treatment is required. Pay attention to anal hygiene and apply a hot water bag to improve local blood circulation and maintain the status quo so that it does not develop or enlarge. If the hemorrhoids continue to grow and affect work and life, and non-surgical treatment is ineffective, external hemorrhoidal vein dissection can be performed under local anesthesia.

1: Taking a hot water sitz bath after defecation can not only clean the dirt in the folds of the anal skin, but also promote local blood circulation, which plays an important role in maintaining the cleanliness and physiological function of the anus.

2: Develop the habit of regular bowel movements. There is usually no feces in the rectum of a healthy person. With the upright reflex caused by getting up in the morning and the stomach and colon reflex caused by breakfast, the colon can produce strong "group peristalsis" to push the feces into the rectum. When the feces in the rectum accumulates to a certain amount, the urge to defecate will occur. Therefore, it is best to develop the habit of regular bowel movements every morning, which plays an extremely important role in preventing the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Some people believe that drinking a glass of cold water in the morning can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation. In addition, participating in various sports activities in the morning, such as running, doing exercises, and practicing Tai Chi can prevent constipation. When you feel the urge to defecate, do not hold it in, as holding it in for too long can cause habitual constipation. Sitting in the toilet for too long, reading newspapers, or exerting excessive force when defecating are all bad bowel habits and should be corrected.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your clothes clean, drink plenty of water, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
