Methods for eliminating hemorrhoidal masses mainly include the following: 1. Conservative treatment: For patients in early stages with mild symptoms, symptom relief can be achieved by improving diet, increasing dietary fiber intake, and avoiding prolonged sitting. Physical therapies such as sitz baths and magnetic therapy, combined with topical medications like hemorrhoid suppositories or compound alginates suppositories, can help alleviate symptoms. Oral medications such as diosmin tablets may improve local blood circulation and reduce congestion in the inferior rectal veins. 2. Surgical treatment: Indicated for patients who do not respond to conservative treatment or have persistent protrusion of hemorrhoidal tissue outside the anus. Surgical options include rubber band ligation for internal hemorrhoids, excision of external hemorrhoids, and removal of thrombosed external hemorrhoids. 3. Precautions: Maintain healthy eating habits and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Develop proper bowel habits and avoid prolonged squatting or sitting. Patients with concerns should seek medical advice promptly.
