How to treat hemorrhoids

Some jobs require sitting for long periods of time, which can cause blood circulation near the anus to become blocked, making hemorrhoids more likely to occur. Hemorrhoids are quite painful for patients because they feel very uncomfortable when sitting and sometimes even feel pain when walking. So how do you treat hemorrhoids? Many people believe that hemorrhoids will heal on their own.

Hemorrhoids are a very common disease in life, but because many people do not seek treatment, hemorrhoids become more and more serious. Physical illness definitely requires treatment and recuperation. Today I want to talk to you about how to treat hemorrhoids.

Treatment of hemorrhoids

The first step in treating hemorrhoids is to keep the bowels open and eat easily digestible food with less residue. The diet should be a combination of coarse and fine foods, drink less strong tea, coffee, alcohol and eat less spicy food to reduce irritation to the anal canal. Take a warm water sitz bath after defecation and apply hemorrhoid suppository or hemorrhoid ointment topically. Depending on the condition, injection therapy, cryotherapy and physical therapy can be used. Severe cases can be treated with surgery, including ligation, rubber band ligation, hemorrhoidectomy, etc. Different hemorrhoids, different treatments

When a diabetic patient develops hemorrhoids, treatment should be considered taking into account the severity of the hemorrhoids and the severity of the diabetes. It is best to wait until the condition stabilizes before choosing an appropriate treatment for hemorrhoids.

Stroke patients are prone to hemorrhoids due to limited limb movement after the illness and prolonged lying or sitting. For those with mild paralysis or semi-paralysis who can walk with the help of crutches, the principles of early prevention and treatment are adopted, such as appropriate exercise and surgical or non-surgical treatment according to the condition. For patients with severe paralysis who are completely bedridden, regardless of the severity of the hemorrhoid symptoms, conservative treatment with oral or topical medications is appropriate, such as decoction of Liangxue Dihuang Decoction and external application of musk hemorrhoid ointment.

The incidence of hemorrhoids in children is low, and treatment should be simple and painless, such as external treatment with Chinese medicine. Pay more attention to adjusting the diet and let children eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and honey; clean the anus with warm water after defecation or before going to bed to improve anal blood circulation. The elderly are very susceptible to hemorrhoids because the nerves, blood vessels, muscles, ligaments, etc. in the anus are loose and weak. It is particularly difficult to treat. It is best to use traditional Chinese medicine for oral administration to moisten the intestines and resolve hemorrhoids, as well as conservative treatments such as external use of traditional Chinese medicine for fumigation or application of hemorrhoid-curing ointment or suppository.

Note:

1. Pay attention to dietary adjustment to eliminate constipation. Eat more foods rich in soluble fiber, such as oats, whole grains and brown rice, vegetables and fruits; do not eat too much spicy food such as chili peppers, spirits, betel nuts, etc., and eat less irritating fruits such as mango, durian, lychee, longan, etc.

2. Develop the habit of having a bowel movement once a day, with each bowel movement lasting no more than 5 minutes. Drink a glass of cold boiled water in the morning to keep your bowel movements smooth. Do not hold back your bowel movements for a long time, squat on the toilet for too long or exert too much force, or read books or newspapers.

3. Pay attention to the treatment of the primary disease. For patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis, heart disease, diabetes, abdominal tumors, etc., which are prone to hemorrhoids, effective measures should be taken for timely treatment to avoid aggravating the disease; do not only focus on the local treatment of hemorrhoids and ignore the treatment of systemic diseases.

The above introduces the key points of how to treat hemorrhoids. I believe that after reading it, you will have a clearer understanding of the treatment of hemorrhoids. I also hope that it can help people in need. If your job requires you to sit for long periods of time, you should move around once in a while to allow your blood vessels to move and circulate better.
