What should I do if my hemorrhoids are hard and painful?

Getting sick is a common thing, and hemorrhoids are one of the common diseases. The reason for this disease is because we do not pay attention in our daily life, such as often sitting on a stool and not exercising regularly. Once hemorrhoids appear, symptoms such as anal pain and blood in the stool will follow. And if the hemorrhoids are too severe, it may affect a person’s normal physiological activities. When you touch it with your hand, you will find that it is hard and painful. So, what should you do when the hemorrhoids are hard and painful?

1. Analyze the condition

Many hemorrhoids are just sudden onset, which may be caused by a bad mood or getting angry. At this time, dietary treatment can be carried out, and the mood should also be maintained well. You can eat more foods that clear the heart and reduce internal heat, such as green vegetables, carrots, celery, etc.

2. Apply ointment

Secondly, if the hemorrhoids are not particularly large and do not affect your life, in addition to paying attention to your diet, you should also use some topical ointments, such as Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment, and then take Sophora japonica pills internally. This two-pronged approach can cure small hemorrhoids.

3. Surgical treatment

Finally, when the situation is serious and affects your normal life, surgical treatment should be used. Generally, surgical removal of hemorrhoids is used to completely cure hemorrhoids. After the operation, anti-inflammatory drugs should be applied externally to prevent wound infection, and you will recover after a while.

4. Chinese herbal medicine treatment

For the folk remedy treatment of internal hemorrhoids, you can choose Chinese herbal medicine for external treatment, that is, use fumigation and washing method for treatment. This method is effective for patients with internal hemorrhoids at all stages and patients with prolapse of internal hemorrhoids. Method: You can choose Chinese herbal medicine gallnut soup or Sophora flavescens soup, add water to the medicine and boil it, then fumigate and wash the anus, or you can choose wet compress. It can have the effects of astringency, pain relief and swelling reduction.

Causes

1. Sitting or standing for a long time

I believe many people know that sitting for a long time can cause hemorrhoids, but many people may not know that standing for a long time can also cause hemorrhoids. This is because when a person is standing or sitting, the anus and rectum are located in the lower part. Due to the pressure of gravity and other internal organs, blood return is affected, and the veins are prone to expansion and bending. Therefore, people who often stand or sit are prone to hemorrhoids.

2. Spending too long in the toilet

Many people like to read newspapers while going to the toilet, under the pretext of saving time. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Squatting in the toilet for too long will increase intra-abdominal pressure and hinder venous blood return, thus causing hemorrhoids. Therefore, people with this habit should change it in time to avoid causing hemorrhoids.

3. Anal infection

Anal infection is also one of the main causes of hemorrhoids. To put it in medical terms, the hemorrhoidal venous plexus first becomes inflamed due to acute or chronic infections, and the elastic tissue of the venous wall gradually becomes fibrotic and weakened, resulting in insufficient resistance, which leads to enlargement and varicose veins. Combined with other reasons, the varicose veins gradually worsen and cause hemorrhoidal prolapse.

4. Dietary problems

Many people like to drink alcohol and eat spicy food, but they don’t know that these are the culprits that lead to the formation of hemorrhoids. Because these foods are highly irritating, eating too much can easily irritate the anus and rectum, causing congestion in the hemorrhoidal venous plexus, affecting venous blood return, and causing the resistance of the venous wall to decrease, thus causing the formation of hemorrhoids.
