The principles and methods of treatment of hemorrhoids.

At present, the World Health Organization has reached a consensus on the treatment principles of hemorrhoids, and has jointly developed a guideline, namely the Provisional Standards for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hemorrhoids, as follows: asymptomatic hemorrhoids do not require treatment; symptomatic hemorrhoids are treated by eliminating the symptoms and treating them if they are not visible; hemorrhoids cannot be cured and non-surgical treatment is ineffective, so surgery can be an option. Specifically, surgery is necessary for heavy bleeding (more dripping blood or jet bleeding); surgery is necessary for heavy prolapse (the nucleus of the hemorrhoid cannot go back by itself); surgery is necessary when accompanied by anal fistula, anal fissure, anal papilloma, anal itching, etc. Specific methods are as follows: 1. Non-surgical treatment (1) General treatment: Applicable to the vast majority of hemorrhoids in the early stages. Pay attention to diet, avoid alcohol and spicy stimulating food, increase fibrous food, consume more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, change bad bowel habits, keep bowel movements smooth, take laxatives if necessary, and clean the anus after stooling. For prolapsed hemorrhoids, pay attention to gently holding the hemorrhoid back with your hand to stop it from prolapsing again. Avoid prolonged sitting and standing, take appropriate exercise, and take a warm water bath before bedtime. (2) Local medication: It can be widely used, and the medication includes suppositories, creams and lotions, most of which contain Chinese herbal ingredients. (3) Oral medication: Generally, medication for varicose veins is used. (4) Other treatment: including injection therapy, laser therapy, cryotherapy, direct current therapy and copper ion electrochemical therapy, microwave thermal coagulation therapy, infrared coagulation therapy, rubber ring ligature therapy, etc. 2.Surgical treatment: See the surgical methods of eighteen hemorrhoids for details.
