What to do if external hemorrhoids bleed, how to treat it

External hemorrhoids are also a type of hemorrhoids. If they are not treated in time, they will also bleed. When external hemorrhoids bleed, the patient should not be too nervous. He can first find clean cotton to stop the bleeding and disinfect to prevent secondary infection.

1: Keep bowel movements smooth and develop a habit of daily bowel movements. Hemorrhoid bleeding is mostly caused by constipation. Straining during defecation increases abdominal pressure, causing increased pressure in the hemorrhoidal veins and rupture and bleeding. Other causes are dry and hard stools, which rub the hemorrhoidal veins when passing through the anus, causing bleeding. Eating more vegetables and drinking more water can prevent constipation. For those who have already suffered from constipation, eating more honey or sesame oil can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Regular bowel movements and eating less spicy foods can help reduce hemorrhoidal bleeding.

2: Prevent anal infection and strengthen exercise. Ruptured hemorrhoids are easily contaminated by stool and become inflamed. Therefore, for those who have already developed hemorrhoid bleeding, it is necessary to strengthen anti-inflammatory measures. You can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (that is, put 1 gram of potassium permanganate in 5000 ml of warm water to make the solution light purple-red) to soak the anus 2-3 times a day; you can also use Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment to inject into the anus, which has the effects of laxative, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic. In addition, increased exercise can improve blood circulation and reduce pressure on the hemorrhoidal veins. In addition, you can kneel on the bed every day, take the chest-knee position, and practice anal lifting exercises, which are also effective in reducing hemorrhoidal bleeding.
