What is the best treatment for a protruding hemorrhoid lump in pregnant women?
If pregnant women want to improve hemorrhoid prolapse, they can adopt methods such as warm water baths, dietary adjustments, medication, and physiotherapy to facilitate later recovery.
Warm Water Baths: Hemorrhoids may be caused by prolonged sitting or poor dietary habits, which affect the venous blood circulation in the anus. Warm water baths can be used to improve the condition by facilitating hemorrhoid regression, reducing swelling, and alleviating pain.
Dietary Adjustments: Pregnant women can also adjust their diet by consuming more easily digestible liquid foods, such as millet porridge and oatmeal, and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods like chili peppers and onions to prevent further exacerbation of hemorrhoids.
Medication: In severe cases, under the guidance of a doctor, patients can use medications such as Compound Carrageenate Suppositories, Gangtai Ointment, and Compound Carrageenate Cream to alleviate anal pain, redness, and other symptoms to a certain extent.
Physiotherapy: Patients can also undergo physiotherapy, including infrared therapy, ultraviolet therapy, microwave therapy, etc., to inhibit inflammatory reactions and promote local blood circulation.
In addition, if the above treatments are ineffective, pregnant women can promptly visit the hospital and undergo elastic band ligation therapy under a doctor's guidance, which usually does not cause significant harm to the fetus's health.
