Hemorrhoids can be treated with topical ointments injected into the anal region to reduce swelling and relieve pain—this approach typically provides rapid symptom relief. Hemorrhoids commonly result from constipation (dry stools) and consumption of spicy or irritating foods. While receiving hemorrhoid ointment injections, patients may also take heat-clearing and blood-cooling medications under a physician’s guidance for comprehensive treatment. Dietary modifications are essential: avoid spicy and irritating foods.
