If you have external hemorrhoids, there will be a swelling around the anus, and you should take different treatments according to the different types of external hemorrhoids. If a purple-colored swelling is visible around the anus after the appearance of external hemorrhoids and is painful to touch, it may be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which should be actively treated surgically, either by thrombectomy or external hemorrhoidectomy, after which anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling and hemostatic treatment should be given. If the patient has a soft mass around the anus and does not feel pain, it may be varicose veins or connective tissue external hemorrhoids, which need to be treated conservatively and medically, and generally do not require surgery. You can pay attention to your diet, you should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, such as mustard, chili, etc. Keep good bowel habits, avoid squatting for a long time, sit for a long time, and avoid looking at your phone for a long time when you go to the toilet. You can keep your left side lying to avoid blockage and swelling of the hemorrhoid nucleus, thus aggravating the hemorrhoid, and if necessary, you can also take a sitz bath with warm salt water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, which then plays a role in keeping the perianal area clean and swollen. You can also apply hemorrhoid cream intra-anally and insert hemorrhoid plugs, which can play the role of anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling and hemostatic.
