Dr. Li Jingxiang
The main methods for treating internal hemorrhoids in women include the following:
1. Basic management: Adjust dietary habits by consuming more foods rich in dietary fiber and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Correct unhealthy bowel habits, such as prolonged squatting on the toilet or using mobile phones during defecation.
2. Medication: Follow medical advice to use medications such as sodium morrhuate injection, compound algin paste, or hemorrhoid suppositories to relieve symptoms of internal hemorrhoids.
3. Physical therapy: For example, rubber band ligation, which causes chronic ischemia, necrosis, and eventual shedding of the hemorrhoid, leading to healing.
4. Surgical treatment: For patients with severe conditions or frequent prolapse of internal hemorrhoids, surgical options such as hemorrhoidectomy may be considered.
