Hemorrhoids do not necessarily require hospitalization, depending on the specific condition of the hemorrhoid. If the hemorrhoid manifests only as an external hemorrhoid, or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, this condition only requires an outpatient procedure. After the surgery, the patient can go home and does not need to be hospitalized. If the hemorrhoid is oedematous, painful and accompanied by prolapsed masses or blood in the stool, you can first treat it with medication, such as anal plugs with tylenol and local application of tylenol cream, which can be combined with oral Mai Zhi Ling and Yunnan Baiyao capsules. If the conservative treatment is not effective and the symptoms are getting worse, it is best to opt for surgical treatment, which will require hospitalization. Patients with hemorrhoids should pay attention to washing their anus with warm water after each bowel movement to keep the anal area locally clean.
