Introduction
In general, external hemorrhoidal skin tags can be treated and eliminated through dietary adjustments, warm sitz baths, manual reduction, medication, or surgery. Patients should avoid constipation by consuming more fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote intestinal health. At the same time, they should avoid spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, and other irritants that may aggravate the intestines and worsen symptoms.

In general, external hemorrhoidal masses can be alleviated or eliminated through dietary adjustments, warm water sitz baths, manual reduction, medication, surgery, and other methods. Specific approaches are as follows:

1. Dietary adjustment: Patients should prevent constipation by consuming more fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to promote intestinal health. At the same time, they should avoid spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, and other irritants that may aggravate intestinal discomfort and worsen symptoms.

2. Warm water sitz bath: Patients can sit in a bathtub filled with warm water or use a specialized sitz bath device to soak the hemorrhoidal area. This helps reduce swelling, itching, and pain, while maintaining local cleanliness.

3. Manual reduction: For smaller external hemorrhoidal masses, a doctor may perform manual reduction by gently pushing the protruding tissue back into the anal canal so it no longer bulges externally.

4. Medication: Patients are advised to take medications such as Xiaozhong Hemorrhoids Capsules or Compound Maytenus Hilomidine Suppositories as prescribed by a physician to relieve discomfort.

5. Surgery: If the external hemorrhoidal mass is severe and significantly affects daily life, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove hemorrhoidal tissue or repair the anal area. However, surgery carries certain risks, so patients are advised to consult a doctor before proceeding.

Patients are encouraged to seek medical attention promptly when experiencing discomfort and to undergo standardized treatment under professional medical guidance, which facilitates recovery.
