If you have a mild case of external hemorrhoids, you can relieve yourself and eliminate the symptoms in the following ways: 1. Develop good bowel habits: The development of external hemorrhoids is closely related to bad bowel habits, so patients can develop the habit of regular bowel movements, minimize squatting time and avoid excessive forceful bowel movements, which can relieve or even eliminate pain, itching and other symptoms; 2.
