Is moxibustion really effective in treating hemorrhoids?

For patients with hemorrhoids, most doctors will recommend surgical removal of hemorrhoids, which can quickly and effectively cure the disease. However, no matter which surgery is chosen, patients are very likely to face the possibility of postoperative side effects, so many people still prefer some relatively mild treatments. Moxibustion can have a certain conditioning effect on physical weakness and swelling, so can moxibustion be used to treat hemorrhoids?

Moxibustion treatment of hemorrhoids should be based on the different physical conditions of the patients. In clinical practice, there are relatively few people who actually use moxibustion to treat hemorrhoids.

You say it is reliable, and it is indeed reliable. Why? Because first of all, you need to know about moxibustion. Moxibustion is a warming agent and is actually a therapy, right? It uses the method of warming the body and warming the yang to supplement the body, so it is not suitable for all hemorrhoids. I'm sure the person you just mentioned who is bleeding may have edema or even blood clots, so a heat attack may be bad for him.

There are some people, for example, the elderly, or, as we say in traditional Chinese medicine, those who are weak and have weak yang energy. After being exposed to the cold, they may suffer from hemorrhoids and anal discomfort. Moxibustion may be of some help to them. Or some elderly people may have taken it off.

The reason why stool falls out is because of qi deficiency, which makes it unable to stay fixed. In a case like this, using some moxibustion might be of some benefit to his recovery from hemorrhoids. However, in reality, moxibustion is rarely used as a method to treat hemorrhoids in clinical practice.

For patients with hemorrhoids, they should prevent constipation, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, keep the anus clean, sit in the air for ventilation, and take a sitz bath with warm water or Chinese medicine fumigation. Then go to the drugstore and buy some hemorrhoid suppositories and Chinese herbal sitz bath medicines. Don't trust the so-called secret recipes on the Internet. There is only one chrysanthemum, and there is nothing you can do if it goes bad. In addition to medication, special attention should be paid to anal care. The specific method is to prepare an anorectal rehabilitation kit, which contains a handheld Washlet for washing with water after each bowel movement. Wiping with paper will not only cause pain but also rub feces into the wound. The painless breathable pad of the anorectal rehabilitation bag is used to suspend the anus for ventilation and promote wound healing. There is also an anal hydrotherapy device inside, which is used for Chinese medicine or potassium permanganate fumigation bath. It can be placed on the toilet and done in a sitting position. Squatting on the ground with a basin is not convenient and there is a risk of tearing the wound. Special reminder: Anorectal rehabilitation kits are generally available in large specialized hospitals. You can ask the doctor to prescribe them, but the price is at least twice as expensive as on Taobao, so it is recommended that you prepare one yourself. If it is serious, surgery may be required, so you must take it seriously.
