Hemorrhoids bleeding needs to be assessed based on the amount of bleeding and the duration of bleeding to determine different treatment methods. If the bleeding is minimal and short-lived, mostly noticed on toilet paper, one can opt for oral hemostatic medications or apply hemorrhoidal cream with hemostatic effects around the anus. However, if the bleeding is significant or persists for a long time, and each bleeding episode appears as dripping or jetting, to further prevent the occurrence of anemia, it is advisable to directly undergo surgical ligation to stop the bleeding, avoiding repeated bleeding episodes that could lead to anemia and further impact body functions.
