Patient's question:
I have hemorrhoids, and in the last month of pregnancy, I experienced severe constipation. Every time I used the restroom, I had to squat for a long time. After defecating, I noticed two pieces of flesh on my anus. When I pushed them back in, they would come out again. It doesn't hurt or itch. After giving birth, I took Chinese medicine for a few days, and the hemorrhoid lumps shrank, but that piece of flesh is still there. Do I necessarily need surgical treatment? Are there minimally invasive surgeries available? What kind of help do I need: Is it serious if small lumps grow outside the anus?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered that the possible cause may be hemorrhoids. It is recommended that you visit the colorectal department of a local hospital with a grade B or higher for a follow-up examination and a thorough check-up. Treatment plans should be formulated based on the examination results. Oral intake of Huaijiao pills can be combined with external application of Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment for treatment. For local use, sit in warm water or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution during the day. Surgical treatment may be considered if necessary. Maintain a light diet, consume more roughage foods, and engage in appropriate activities to promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation.
