Dr. Li Jingxiang
Patients with hemorrhoids should take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, penicillin G sulfate, and miconazole nitrate to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms. Patients may also take antibiotics, such as amoxicillin and ampicillin, to decrease the number of pathogenic bacteria and treat inflammatory conditions associated with hemorrhoids. In addition, patients can, based on their individual conditions, take anticoagulant medications such as aspirin to prevent bleeding. However, patients must use medications appropriately according to their specific conditions and under the guidance of a physician to effectively treat hemorrhoids, and must not self-medicate blindly.
