Usually small fleshy balls of external hemorrhoids cannot disappear with conservative treatment, but can only be made smaller. Patients can disappear with surgical treatment. There are four main types of external hemorrhoids, including varicose external hemorrhoids, connective tissue external hemorrhoids, thrombosed external hemorrhoids, and inflammatory external hemorrhoids. External hemorrhoids are treated conservatively with warm salt water, potassium permanganate solution or Chinese herbal sitz bath, along with topical hemorrhoid cream and oral Sophora pill, and their swelling and painful symptoms will gradually ease after 1 week, i.e. the small meatball of external hemorrhoids will gradually shrink. However, the connective tissue dermatome in the anus will not disappear but will be left behind. When the patient eats a stimulating diet or has an irregular lifestyle, the external hemorrhoid bulb will still grow larger, i.e. recur, and the patient can only be completely cured by surgically removing it. In addition, patients also need to change their lifestyle, do not eat spicy and irritating food, eat more coarse fiber diet, avoid prolonged sitting and squatting, and do more anal lifting exercises.
