From a TCM point of view, fig leaves are effective in clearing dampness and heat, detoxifying sores and relieving swelling and pain, so they can be used as an adjunct to treat mild hemorrhoids, but only to a lesser extent and not to treat them, so patients with hemorrhoids are advised to seek medical attention and regular treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Fig leaves can be used in fumigation baths or sitz baths, as well as topical applications when aiding in the treatment of hemorrhoids. You can take fig leaves and boil them with water, and pour the boiled juice into a basin or bath for a smoky bath or sitz bath; you can also decoct fig leaves and take a clean gauze and apply a hot compress to the hemorrhoids when the temperature is right, but it is not recommended to mash them directly on the hemorrhoids to avoid the leaves remaining in the crevices of the hemorrhoids and causing infection. The above methods usually have some relief for the skin redness, pain, itching and other symptoms that occur with mild hemorrhoids, but the effect is limited and medication or surgery is needed to cure them. In the case of moderate to severe hemorrhoids, such as those where there is bleeding or where the nucleus has prolapsed and can no longer be returned, the use of fig leaves to relieve the symptoms is not recommended because the effect is limited and may even cause infection. This condition usually requires prompt medical attention to stop the bleeding with the help of a doctor after performing an anal fingering, as well as topical application of ointments and suppositories for hemorrhoids or treatment with submucosal sclerotherapy injections, nucleus pulposus ligation, or hemorrhoid artery ligation. Patients with severe hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids can also be treated surgically if they meet the indications for surgery, such as hemorrhoidectomy, suprahemorrhoidal mucosal circumcision, etc. The treatment of thrombosed external hemorrhoids can also be treated with thrombosed external hemorrhoid removal, etc. In addition, if you suffer from hemorrhoids, you should pay attention to avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and pepper while you are undergoing treatment. And defecation time should not be too long, generally should be controlled in 3-5 minutes, in order to avoid continuous pressure on the anus, resulting in poor hemorrhoid venous reflux, which in turn aggravates the condition of hemorrhoid patients.
