The treatment of thrombosed external hemorrhoids generally falls into two categories: first, conservative treatment; second, surgical treatment. Small lumps can be treated conservatively, and after 2-3 days, the thrombus can be absorbed, the pain can be significantly reduced, and self-healing is possible. However, larger lumps may erode on the surface, causing bleeding and severe pain that can impede walking and cause discomfort while sitting or lying down. In such cases, thrombectomy may be necessary.
