Generally, the recommendation against excising external hemorrhoids often implies that the condition is not severe and can be improved through conservative treatment. It may also be due to the patient's poor resistance to avoid complications during the surgical procedure. External hemorrhoids are relatively common anorectal diseases, which may be caused by prolonged sitting or standing, poor bowel habits, unhealthy eating habits, and other factors. Surgical treatment for external hemorrhoids is not always necessary.
If the condition is mild and there are no obvious discomforts, conservative treatment can be adopted for improvement. Adjustments can be made to the diet, and medications such as 5% phenol in vegetable oil, 5% sodium morrhuate, and hemorrhoid ointment can be used as prescribed to harden and shrink the external hemorrhoids and alleviate symptoms. For patients with poor resistance, external hemorrhoid surgery is also not recommended to prevent damage to surrounding skin and mucosa during the surgery, which may affect their normal life in the future.
During the illness, attention should be paid to the hygiene and care of the anal area, avoiding prolonged sitting. A light diet should be maintained, with an emphasis on easily digestible liquid foods. Exercise should also be incorporated based on individual conditions to enhance physical fitness.
