What should I do if I have hemorrhoids?

Patients with hemorrhoids should seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible. Doctors will develop an appropriate treatment plan based on the individual patient's condition. Generally, hemorrhoid treatment falls into two categories: medication and surgery. Medication can help regulate blood vessels and alleviate hemorrhoid symptoms through anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, anti-infective, and analgesic effects. Surgical options, such as ligation, incision, or stent placement, are selected according to the severity of the condition to remove the lesion and achieve complete cure. In addition, patients should pay attention to their diet by consuming more vegetables and fruits, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining good anal hygiene to prevent infection.
