How to eliminate external hemorrhoids with a fleshy lump?
External hemorrhoids involving a flesh mass are considered organic lesions. Complete removal typically requires hemorrhoid surgery, such as excision of external hemorrhoids or debridement surgery. Postoperative care includes changing dressings using products like anal washes, red oil gauze strips, and golden ointment. It is also important for patients to develop good bowel habits post-surgery, maintain smooth bowel movements, and avoid prolonged or excessive straining to facilitate recovery and prevent recurrence of external hemorrhoids. If treated solely with conservative medication, the flesh mass of external hemorrhoids can only be reduced, not completely eliminated. Inappropriate diet or abnormal bowel movements can lead to an increase in the size of external hemorrhoids, potentially causing inflammatory edema or thrombosis, which can result in significant anal discomfort and severely impact the patient’s normal life. Therefore, the treatment approach for external hemorrhoid flesh mass should be based on the severity of the condition.
