Chinese medicine explains hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disorder, often heard as “nine out of ten hemorrhoids”, mainly due to changes or dislocation of blood vessels, mucosa and supporting structures in the lower rectum. According to Chinese medicine, the formation of hemorrhoids is caused by spleen qi deficiency, poor diet, constipation, prolonged diarrhea and dysentery, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting and weight bearing. TCM treatment of hemorrhoids emphasizes the differentiation and treatment, classifying them into the wind-injured intestinal complex type, the damp-heat-injected type, the qi-blood deficiency type, and the spleen-deficiency-qi trapped type, and selecting prescriptions and using medicines according to their clinical manifestations. At the same time, it can be combined with the characteristic therapies of Chinese medicine such as herbal fumigation and herbal preserved enema to relieve bleeding hemorrhoids or prolapse of anal swelling and pain. In normal life, you should eat a light diet, keep your bowels open, do not sit and stand for a long time, and develop good habits.
