The lumps of thrombosed external hemorrhoids cannot be eliminated and can only be removed surgically by stripping the thrombus. After surgery, medications such as anal washes, red oil gauze strips, and golden ointment are used for dressing changes to completely cure thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Since the thrombus has already formed, local medications cannot dissolve it; stripping it surgically is the only option.

Moreover, thrombosed external hemorrhoids cause patients to experience a distinct sensation of a foreign body in the anus as well as pain and swelling. Patients should pay adequate attention to these symptoms, otherwise, the thrombus might grow larger and may even lead to necrosis of the hemorrhoids.

Patients should also develop good bowel habits, avoiding excessive straining or prolonged durations on the toilet, as these practices can easily trigger thrombosed external hemorrhoids or inflammatory external hemorrhoids, leading to significant pain and swelling in the anus.
