🌿 Folk Prescriptions

It is commonly said that "nine out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids," and the main symptoms include hard stools and pain and bleeding after defecation. If there is pain during bowel movement accompanied by blood on the stool, it indicates external hemorrhoids; if blood drips after defecation and the amount is significant, it is usually internal hemorrhoids. Here are several methods to prevent and treat bleeding:
1. Maintain regular bowel movements and establish a daily routine. Hemorrhoid bleeding often results from constipation, straining during defecation increasing abdominal pressure, thus raising pressure in hemorrhoidal veins leading to rupture and bleeding. Some cases stem from hard, dry stools that scratch the hemorrhoidal veins during passage. Eating more vegetables and drinking plenty of water helps prevent constipation. For those already suffering from constipation, consuming honey or sesame oil appropriately aids in moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. Regular defecation and avoiding spicy foods help reduce hemorrhoid bleeding.
2. Prevent anal infection and increase physical exercise. Ruptured hemorrhoids are prone to inflammation due to fecal contamination. Therefore, individuals with hemorrhoid bleeding must strengthen anti-inflammatory measures. Soak the anus in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (i.e., 1 gram potassium permanganate dissolved in 5000 milliliters warm water, forming a light purple solution) twice or thrice daily. Alternatively, use Ma Yinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment inserted into the anus, which has laxative, anti-inflammatory, and hemostatic effects. Additionally, increased physical activity promotes circulation and reduces pressure on hemorrhoidal veins. Daily practice of Kegel exercises while lying on the bed in a chest-knee position can also effectively reduce hemorrhoid bleeding.
3. Try folk remedies: Take one live pond snail, remove its shell, place a small amount of borneol inside, wait until the snail meat dissolves into liquid, then use cotton swabs or gauze to apply this liquid directly onto the hemorrhoid. It is said that applying it 1–2 times yields good results.
