Is it appropriate to use Xiongdan Zhiling Ointment for itchy hemorrhoids?

Generally speaking, hemorrhoids refer to piles. For itchy hemorrhoids, Xiongdan Zhiling Ointment can be used. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Xiongdan Zhiling Ointment has functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration, and relieving itching. It is primarily used to treat internal and external hemorrhoids, anal swelling and pain, rectal bleeding, anal fistulas, and other related conditions. Regarding the itching symptoms caused by hemorrhoids, ingredients in this ointment such as bear bile and borneol can clear heat, dry dampness, and relieve itching, effectively alleviating the itchiness around the anus. Additionally, components like zinc oxide have an astringent effect, which helps reduce local inflammatory reactions, thereby providing a certain therapeutic effect on itchy hemorrhoids.

In daily life, it is important to maintain anal hygiene by washing the anal area with warm water after bowel movements, avoiding the use of harsh soaps or cleansers, which helps prevent hemorrhoid flare-ups and itching. At the same time, eating more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains while avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods can help maintain regular bowel movements and prevent constipation or diarrhea.
