How to eliminate the flesh lump of external hemorrhoids
External hemorrhoids mainly consist of varicose external hemorrhoids, inflammatory external hemorrhoids, and thrombotic external hemorrhoids. If the patient wants to completely remove them, in such cases, only external hemorrhoidectomy or external hemorrhoid stripping surgery can be performed. After the surgery, anal cleansers, red oil gauze strips, and golden ointment are used for dressing changes to promote wound healing. If the patient is unwilling to undergo surgery and opts for conservative treatment with medications alone, the external hemorrhoidal mass will not be completely eliminated but will only shrink slightly and improve clinical symptoms. To completely eliminate the external hemorrhoidal mass, surgical treatment is necessary. Moreover, after surgery, patients should develop good defecation habits, such as not spending too much time on defecation, not straining excessively, and performing more pelvic floor exercises after defecation to strengthen the anal sphincter muscles to help prevent recurrence of external hemorrhoids.
