The purpose of hemorrhoids treatment is to alleviate and eliminate the main symptoms, not to cure them. No treatment is needed for asymptomatic hemorrhoids, but only for symptomatic hemorrhoids. The treatment of hemorrhoids includes general treatment, non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. 1. General treatment. It includes drinking more water, feeding more dietary fiber, keeping the stool unobstructed, preventing constipation and diarrhea, fumigation and sitting bath, and keeping the perineum clean. The general treatment is applicable to all hemorrhoids. 2. Non operative treatment. It includes local medication (suppository, paste, lotion, etc.) and oral medication to improve the tension of local vascular plexus. 3. Surgical treatment. It includes traditional external stripping and internal ligation, PPH (circumcision and nailing of hemorrhoid mucosa), Doppler guided hemorrhoid artery ligation, etc. Because the patient's condition is complex and changeable, each specific method has its own limitations. Surgical treatment is mainly applicable to patients with stage 3 and stage 4 internal hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids, and patients with non operative treatment failure including external hemorrhoid thrombosis.
