Can I have surgery for swollen and painful hemorrhoids?

Patients with hemorrhoids that are swollen and painful can also undergo appropriate surgical treatment depending on their condition. Surgical treatment is one of the more desirable ways to treat hemorrhoids, and current surgical treatment options include local sclerotherapy as well as excision of the hemorrhoid nucleus, trap method, ligation method, and PPH for circumferential hemorrhoids. All of these methods can effectively reduce the swelling and pain of hemorrhoids, and the post-operative recovery is ideal, with relatively few complications, for the more serious hemorrhoids with swelling of degree III or IV or more. After surgery, you should pay attention to keeping the area clean and dry to prevent bleeding or infection, which can be combined with herbal fumigation or warm water sitz baths and topical hemorrhoid creams to accelerate the reduction of hemorrhoid swelling and healing.
