Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Anal bleeding and itching may be caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal polyps, or frequent consumption of spicy and irritating foods. If caused by hemorrhoids, patients can use compound alder otic acid ester cream under medical guidance. If due to an anal fissure, follow your doctor's advice to take lactulose oral solution to relieve symptoms. If caused by rectal polyps, seek timely treatment at a正规 hospital, where a cold biopsy forceps polypectomy may be performed. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
