Introduction
If the external hemorrhoidal mass is large, the symptoms are severe, or conservative treatment is ineffective, patients may consider surgical treatment. Common surgical procedures include excision of external hemorrhoids, stapled hemorrhoidopexy, and circumferential mucosal resection above the hemorrhoids. However, surgical treatment carries certain risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, and anal stenosis; therefore, it should be carefully selected under the evaluation of a physician.
There is no fastest method to eliminate external hemorrhoid lumps. In general, external hemorrhoid lumps can be relieved through dietary changes, appropriate exercise, topical medications, oral medications, surgical treatments, and other approaches. A detailed explanation is as follows:
1. Dietary changes: Patients should increase their intake of dietary fiber by consuming more fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and similar foods to promote intestinal motility and prevent constipation. At the same time, reduce the consumption of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppers, and mustard, to avoid aggravating symptoms of external hemorrhoids.
2. Appropriate exercise: Engaging in moderate physical activities such as walking, jogging, and yoga can help strengthen the immune system and the muscles around the anus, thereby improving local blood circulation and alleviating symptoms of external hemorrhoids. However, it is important to balance work and rest and avoid excessive fatigue.
3. Topical medications: After cleaning the anal area, patients may apply medications such as Gangtai Ointment (a topical medication for hemorrhoids), Compound Fucoidan Lotion, or Ma Yinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment as directed by a physician. These medications act directly on the hemorrhoidal area, providing anti-inflammatory, analgesic, astringent, and hemostatic effects, thus alleviating symptoms of external hemorrhoid lumps.
4. Oral medications: Under a doctor's guidance, patients may also take oral medications that promote venous and lymphatic return in the hemorrhoidal region, such as Zhi Kang Pian (Hemorrhoid Relief Tablets), Diosmin Tablets, and Zhi Su Ning Tablets. These oral medications reach the hemorrhoidal area through the bloodstream and exert effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis.
5. Surgical treatment: If the external hemorrhoid lump is large, the symptoms are severe, or conservative treatments are ineffective, patients may consider surgical treatment. Common surgical procedures include excision of external hemorrhoids and stapled hemorrhoidopexy. However, surgical treatment carries certain risks and potential complications such as bleeding, infection, and anal stenosis; therefore, it should be carefully selected under a physician's evaluation.
During treatment, patients should rest regularly, avoid excessive fatigue, and maintain adequate hydration to help alleviate symptoms and facilitate bowel movements.
