What should a woman do if she has hemorrhoids?

Although women are generally described with words like gentle and quiet, it does not mean that they will not get diseases such as hemorrhoids. In fact, as long as you do not pay much attention to your diet and accidentally eat too much spicy food, you may very likely develop hemorrhoids. Many female friends also like spicy food, so what should women do if they have hemorrhoids? It’s actually very simple and can be easily solved without any surgery.

Hemorrhoids are soft venous masses formed by the enlargement and varicose venous plexus under the straight-end mucosa and under the skin of the anal canal. It is divided into: internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids. If the hemorrhoids are not particularly serious, no treatment is generally required. When the hemorrhoids are inflamed, swollen and painful, you can use Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment for external use, or antibiotic ointment (such as erythromycin ointment) or oral heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs (such as Huanglian Shangqing Pills, Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, etc.). If the situation is particularly serious, antibiotics can be used appropriately.

Asymptomatic hemorrhoids do not require treatment; symptomatic hemorrhoids do not require radical treatment; non-surgical treatment is the main treatment.

(1) General treatment is applicable to most hemorrhoids, including the early stages of thrombotic and incarcerated hemorrhoids. Pay attention to your diet, avoid alcohol and spicy foods, increase fiber foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, change bad bowel habits, keep bowel movements smooth, take laxatives when necessary, and clean the anus after defecation. For prolapsed hemorrhoids, be careful to gently push the hemorrhoids back with your hands to prevent them from falling out again. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, do appropriate exercise, take a sitz bath in warm water (which may contain potassium permanganate) before going to bed, etc.

(2) Local medication has been widely used. The drugs include suppositories, ointments and lotions, most of which contain Chinese herbal ingredients.

(3) Oral medications are generally used to treat varicose veins.

(4) Injection therapy is more effective for grade I and II bleeding internal hemorrhoids. The sclerosant is injected around the venous plexus in the submucosal layer to cause an inflammatory reaction and fibrosis, thereby compressing the varicose veins. The treatment can be repeated after one month to avoid injecting the sclerosant into the mucosal layer and causing necrosis.

(5) Physical therapy: laser therapy, cryotherapy, direct current therapy, copper ion electrochemical therapy, microwave thermocoagulation therapy, and infrared coagulation therapy are rarely used.

(6) Use rubber band to ligate the root of the hemorrhoids, blocking their blood supply and causing them to fall off and necrotize. This method is suitable for grade II and III internal hemorrhoids, and is more suitable for giant internal hemorrhoids and fibrotic internal hemorrhoids.

The above are several methods that can treat female hemorrhoids without surgery. Compared with the treatment methods for male patients, these treatment methods are relatively mild and will not cause much harm to women. I also hope that everyone can pay more attention to their diet. After all, there are still many female friends who have developed hemorrhoids due to eating spicy foods recently.
