Dr. Li Jingxiang
Hemorrhoidal bleeding is a common symptom in proctology, usually caused by stimulation of the anal fissure wound during defecation. The blood in stool is typically bright red and in small amount, but it can cause significant anxiety to the patient.
For the treatment of hemorrhoidal bleeding, patients can use the following medications under a doctor's guidance:
1. Topical anesthetic creams, such as lidocaine gel, can be applied to the anal fissure to help reduce pain during defecation.
2. Laxatives, such as lactulose oral solution or Maziren Runzhang Pills, which soften the stool and reduce irritation to the anal fissure during bowel movements, thereby alleviating bleeding symptoms.
3. Anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications, such as erythromycin ointment, which can reduce local inflammation at the site of the anal fissure and relieve pain.
In addition to medication, patients should also adjust their lifestyle, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain adequate fluid intake to reduce the occurrence of constipation. If symptoms of anal fissure bleeding persist, worsen, or recur frequently, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
