Second-degree internal hemorrhoids, what is the best way to treat them?
Second-degree internal hemorrhoids mainly refer to the intermittent rectal bleeding and anal prolapse caused by internal hemorrhoids, but the prolapsed tissues can retract back into the anus on their own after defecation. For this condition, it is generally recommended to use conservative medication treatments, change dietary habits, and develop good bowel habits to alleviate symptoms and prevent the progression of the prolapse. For example, patients can eat more foods rich in roughage to facilitate smoother bowel movements. It's also advised not to sit too long during defecation or strain excessively. After defecation, it is beneficial to perform anal exercises and take sits baths using anal washes or warm saline solution for five to ten minutes to promote local circulation and ease the prolapse. Additionally, patients should regularly perform anal exercises and maintain an active lifestyle. When using hemorrhoid suppositories or creams, it is important to choose the appropriate medication based on the symptoms.
