How to treat itching of external hemorrhoids

Since human feces contain a large number of bacteria, if you do not pay attention to your anal hygiene, it is easy to cause anal itching. However, anal itching can also be caused by other reasons, such as external hemorrhoids. However, the cause of hemorrhoids is not very clear, so the medical means of treating external hemorrhoid itching are also limited. Below are some methods to treat anal itching caused by external hemorrhoids.

1. Boil the Radix Stemonae in water for 30 minutes. Use it as a sitz bath every night before going to bed. Using it for one week can reduce the itching of hemorrhoids. Mash the garlic into a paste, add water and mix it, then apply it to the anus.

2. Boil Stemona and Phellodendron amurense in water for 20 minutes, then use the water to wash the anus or soak cotton wool in it and apply it on the anus.

3. Boil Cnidium monnieri and Kochia scoparia in water and apply it to the anus.

4. Acupuncture: stimulate Chengshan point, Sanyinjiao point, Changqiang point, Yaoshu point, and Yinling gland point once a day.

5. Sophora flavescens, Cnidium monnieri, Safflower, Phellodendron chinense, Plantain chinensis, Black snake, Smilax glabra, Coptis chinensis, Kochia scoparia, Sappan wood, and Borneol.

Pay attention to daily care for hemorrhoids. Don't choose underwear that is too tight. Wear loose cotton underwear and change it every day. The anus of hemorrhoid patients can easily breed bacteria. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, the itching can easily worsen. Develop good eating habits. Fried and spicy foods will make hemorrhoids more serious, so be sure not to eat them. Eat more fruits and vegetables, which can help with bowel movements. Difficulty in defecation will aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Appropriate exercise can also help treat hemorrhoids. Don’t sit for a long time, as this is not good for the condition. Exercise can promote blood circulation and reduce the swelling and pain of hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids will recur and are hard to prevent, so life and work are greatly affected. If not treated seriously, they may cause serious complications. Many people think that hemorrhoids are a minor problem and may heal on their own, so they do not pay attention to its treatment. This idea is wrong. Hemorrhoids will not heal on their own. If not treated in time, they will gradually become more serious.
