Patient's question:
My husband has had hemorrhoids since he was young, and it has been many years. Whenever he experiences an episode, just taking some medication helps it go away on its own. But recently, my husband's rectal prolapse gets worse every time he has a bowel movement. It's like being tortured every time he uses the restroom—extremely painful.Doctor's answer:
In this case, I suggest you can manually push it back for him. If it's severe, surgical treatment can be considered. You should use physiological saline to clean the anus daily. Take warm baths. If it's an external hemorrhoid, you can apply hemorrhoid cream externally, or use anti-inflammatory and blood-activating ointments. For internal hemorrhoids, you can use hemorrhoid suppositories. You should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy and spicy foods. You should engage in appropriate exercise and avoid sitting for long periods of time. If it's severe, surgical treatment can be considered.
