So how do you treat hemorrhoids? First of all, hemorrhoid treatment should follow three principles: 1. Asymptomatic hemorrhoids do not require treatment; 2. Symptomatic hemorrhoids focus on reducing or eliminating symptoms rather than curing them; 3. Conservative treatment is the main focus. The main point: treatment of hemorrhoids does not directly target hemorrhoids, but rather treats the symptoms (blood in the stool, lumps, pain) accordingly, so hemorrhoids without symptoms usually do not need treatment! Commonly used three tricks: 1, warm salt water and medication sitz bath (such as potassium permanganate topical tablets, skin health lotion) can control local inflammation, accelerate wound healing, relieve sphincter spasm, relieve pain, early elimination of hemorrhoid symptoms, and easy to carry out, the effect is remarkable. 2, a variety of creams and suppositories (such as taining suppositories, taining cream, Ma Yinglong hemorrhoid suppositories, etc.) may be able to promote wound healing, constrict blood vessels, relieve burning and itching, can its certain relief effect, but the effect is not obvious for some perianal infection type diseases. 3, oral medication: when the symptoms are serious can be combined with oral medication by reducing the local blood flow of hemorrhoids, eliminating hemorrhoidal venous edema, improving local lymphatic reflux, so as to achieve control of symptoms, such as elimination of the stop, love vein Lang and other intravenous active drugs; if the pain is caused by gangrene, ulcers or thrombosis of hemorrhoids can use pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve. The above three methods are generally enough to deal with, but there is a point to remind you that many middle-aged and elderly patients mistakenly treat bleeding from colorectal cancer as bleeding hemorrhoids, so it is recommended to consult a doctor first to confirm the diagnosis of hemorrhoids before using drugs to avoid mistaking other serious diseases as hemorrhoids and thus delaying early treatment. If the above three tricks are still ineffective after treatment then it is advisable to go to the hospital to seek medical treatment and also to assess whether to have surgical treatment, with the adjustment of lifestyle habits is also important: 1. Avoid sedentary: prolonged sitting will affect local blood circulation, hemorrhoid veins are congested and edematous varicose, aggravating hemorrhoid symptoms, so you should be conscious of regular activities; 2. Anal lifting exercise: the muscles and soft tissues around the anus a exercise, can improve the blood circulation around the anal sphincter, but should be avoided when thrombosed hemorrhoids are formed. 3, treatment of constipation, diarrhea, diet control, etc. How to prevent recurrence of hemorrhoids?
