Hemorrhoidal bleeding can be treated with hemorrhoidal suppositories, which can alleviate circulatory disorders around the anus, reduce inflammation of the veins, and prevent the worsening of hemorrhoids. Additionally, if the bleeding is heavy, minimally invasive treatment or surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, eat fresh vegetables, ensure smooth bowel movements, and clean the anus after defecation to prevent infection. Active medication or other methods of treatment should be pursued.

How to relieve the pain of hemorrhoids

Most of the time, hemorrhoids do not cause pain. Pain from hemorrhoids is often considered to be due to inflammatory swelling, external hemorrhoid rupture, or thrombosis formation, which leads to pain. If you want to relieve the pain promptly, you can choose sodium diclofenac suppositories for anal insertion, which can have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Later, after defecation, you can use anal washes or potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, in conjunction with hemorrhoid cream for external application and oral Diosmin tablets to reduce swelling. If the symptoms do not improve significantly after four to five days of medication, it is necessary to go to the hospital’s coloproctology department for hemorrhoid surgery as soon as possible, such as hemorrhoidectomy, external hemorrhoid excision, and TST. Post-surgery, it is important to adhere to dressing changes to promote wound healing, and maintain smooth bowel movements.

What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women?

After pregnancy, the volume of the female uterus increases, and in late pregnancy, the fetus descends into the pelvis. These factors can compress the veins in the pelvic area, obstructing blood flow around the anus, causing venous blood stagnation around the anus, and making it easy for pregnant women to develop hemorrhoids or for pre-existing hemorrhoids to worsen during pregnancy. The symptoms of hemorrhoids in pregnant women include the following aspects: first, you can feel polyp-like tissue outside the anus with your hand. Second, when hemorrhoids are severe, they can cause the prolapse of hemorrhoidal tissue or be accompanied by anal bleeding. Third, hemorrhoids can sometimes be accompanied by constipation, and hemorrhoids during pregnancy should be treated through diet, exercise, and medication.

Do hemorrhoids bleed and hurt?

Simple hemorrhoids bleeding generally has no pain symptoms. Pain only occurs when the hemorrhoids are inflamed or when there is prolapsed or thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are caused by the tortuous dilation of hemorrhoidal venous plexus. Some patients have symptoms of hemorrhoidal prolapse, some have rectal bleeding with fresh blood that is separate from the stool, and a few have both prolapse and bleeding. If the prolapse of hemorrhoids is severe, or if there is a significant amount of bleeding, surgical treatment is recommended. If the bleeding is minor and the hemorrhoids are not severe, conservative treatment can be implemented, including topical medication and maintaining smooth bowel movements. It is advised to avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, and to keep the perianal area clean and hygienic.

Can hemorrhoids cream be used for bleeding hemorrhoids?

Bleeding, as one of the common symptoms of hemorrhoids, is relatively common in daily life. If hemorrhoidal bleeding occurs, hemorrhoid creams can be used. Many hemorrhoid creams have the effects of stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and alleviating the erosion of hemorrhoidal mucosa. Using hemorrhoid cream can provide limited relief for mild hemorrhoids, especially in reducing bleeding symptoms. However, if the bleeding is substantial or frequent, the effectiveness of hemorrhoid creams will be relatively limited, and it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
