What to do about male hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are a secret problem for many people, especially for men. Not only will they ruin their usual masculine image, but they are also extremely painful and uneasy when they occur. Hemorrhoids are a type of venous mass in the anus. Hemorrhoids are mainly divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. The treatment plans also differ according to the classification of hemorrhoids. Today, let's learn about what men should do if they have hemorrhoids.

There are many methods to treat hemorrhoids, generally including the following: drug therapy, food therapy, injection therapy, hemorrhoid nail therapy, rubber snare ligation therapy, cryotherapy, infrared irradiation therapy, microwave therapy, radio frequency therapy and surgical therapy, etc. These treatments have their own advantages and disadvantages and must be selected according to the specific situation.

Male hemorrhoids can be divided into 1-4 degrees according to the severity of symptoms. 1-2 degrees are milder, 3-4 degrees are more severe. Generally speaking, those without symptoms do not need surgical treatment, but they need health care in life, such as eating more fiber foods, effectively preventing constipation, and exercising more.

For 1-2 degree hemorrhoids, general treatment is adopted, including avoiding irritating food, drinking plenty of water, taking more dietary fiber, maintaining smooth bowel movements, preventing and treating diarrhea, taking warm water sitz baths, keeping the perineum clean, doing anal relaxation exercises frequently, and using local suppositories and ointments to protect the mucous membrane. Of course, microwave therapy, radio frequency therapy, and rubber snare ligation therapy can also be applied to 1-2 degree internal hemorrhoids as appropriate, but such treatment must pay attention to the complications of hemorrhoids. For 3-4 degree internal hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids, and thrombosed external hemorrhoids, surgical treatment is necessary, especially when the internal hemorrhoids have been prolapsed and the stool is bloody. In this case, surgery is necessary. Drug treatment can only provide relief. Once the drug loses its effect, it will cost more to treat hemorrhoids.

The pain that hemorrhoids bring to men is not only physical, but sometimes it also brings spiritual torture, which makes people suffer from whole body and mind, and seriously affects their work, study and life. It is recommended that patients should pay attention to preventing constipation during the treatment of hemorrhoids, otherwise hemorrhoids are likely to recur.
