Initial Hemorrhoid Recovery

Initial hemorrhoids have the potential for recovery. For patients with mild symptoms, recovery may be achieved through dietary adjustments, improved lifestyle habits, and medical treatments. For those with more severe symptoms, surgical intervention is typically required for relief.

Mild Symptoms:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Initial hemorrhoid patients should consume more vegetables and fruits, such as celery, bananas, and apples, which are rich in dietary fiber. This aids in maintaining bowel regularity. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods like hotpot, peppers, and fatty meats. Additionally, drinking plenty of water and consuming protein-rich foods like eggs and milk, while minimizing or avoiding constipation-inducing foods like nuts, can facilitate hemorrhoid recovery.
2. Improved Lifestyle Habits: Avoid prolonged sitting or standing. Taking warm sitz baths can improve blood circulation around the anus, helping to alleviate symptoms.
3. Medical Treatment: Patients with blood in their stool can use hemorrhoid suppositories or Ma Yinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment under medical guidance. Oral traditional Chinese medicines like Huai Jiao Pill and Qing Huo Zhi Mai Pian are also options. For those with prolapse, Compound Carrageenan Esters Suppositories may be prescribed.

Severe Symptoms:

1. Surgical Treatment: If symptoms persist despite the above treatments, surgical options like hemorrhoidectomy or stapled hemorrhoidopexy may be considered for initial hemorrhoid patients.
2. Other Treatments: In cases of acute thrombosis causing anal pain, potassium permanganate sitz baths can be administered.

It is recommended that patients with initial hemorrhoids seek prompt treatment to avoid worsening symptoms. Maintaining good lifestyle habits, including avoiding late nights, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption, regular bowel movements, and minimizing the duration of bowel movements, are essential.
