How to eliminate the external hemorrhoids in postpartum women?
The external hemorrhoids in postpartum women are primarily due to the pathology of the anal cushions, which become pathologically hypertrophic and descend due to the compression of the rectum and anal canal during childbirth. This can lead to the enlargement of external hemorrhoidal nodules and even inflammatory edema. For such cases, it is generally recommended to first try conservative treatment with medications. For example, after defecation, a sitz bath using agents like anal washes or potassium permanganate solution can be used to reduce inflammation and swelling. Then, applying ointments like yellow ointment or other hemorrhoid creams can help reduce swelling and relieve pain. Oral medications like Diosmin tablets may also be needed to relieve swelling. At the same time, patients must develop good bowel habits, ensure smooth bowel movements, and avoid prolonged toilet sessions or excessive straining. These measures can significantly reduce the size of external hemorrhoidal nodules and even alleviate them. However, if the external hemorrhoidal nodules persist at the anus, an external hemorrhoidectomy can be directly performed.
