External hemorrhoids can have significant anal pain and localized congestion and edema during acute attacks. You can apply warm salt water for sitz baths to relieve the swelling and apply topical hemorrhoid creams. The most effective treatment for external hemorrhoids, however, is to opt for surgery, which allows the lesion to be removed and cut open under local anesthesia. The wound is bandaged with local pressure with petroleum jelly gauze, and the postoperative period is aggressively treated with intravenous anti-infection. Obvious pain can also be treated with oral aminoglutethimide tablets, or nimesulide dispersible tablets for pain relief. Pay attention to timely cleaning after each postoperative bowel movement to avoid aggravation of contamination. In addition, you should also keep your bowel movements regular and unobstructed, usually with liquid food, eat more coarse-fiber vegetables and fresh fruits, and exercise appropriately, such as the contraction of the anal raphe, which can improve the venous blood flow around the anus and also relieve the condition of hemorrhoids.
