Hemorrhoidal masses can generally be eliminated, but the specific method of removal depends on the type and severity of the hemorrhoids. 1. Lifestyle adjustments: For small hemorrhoidal masses without bleeding or with minimal bleeding, adjusting personal habits can help reduce pressure on the anal cushions. This includes avoiding prolonged periods in the same posture, drinking more water, and consuming more high-fiber foods, all of which may promote the regression of hemorrhoidal masses. 2. Medication: Drugs such as Zhisuning tablets or hemorrhoid ointments can improve venous return in the hemorrhoidal mass, reduce bleeding, and alleviate swelling. 3. Surgical treatment: For larger hemorrhoidal masses accompanied by pain, bleeding, or abnormal gait, local surgical intervention may be necessary, such as rubber band ligation for internal hemorrhoids or excision for external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidal masses can be eliminated, but appropriate treatment must be selected based on individual circumstances.
