Hello,
With the question "How to treat external hemorrhoids for breastfeeding women?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
With external hemorrhoids, intervention is only indicated if there is a blockage or irritation, or there are other lesions in the anal area (internal hemorrhoids, anal fistula, ... ),...
In other cases, the doctor will guide you for conservative treatment:
Keep the anal area clean: dry, clean Diet high in fiber, drink plenty of water, limit alcohol , keep the anal area clean,... Dilate and soak the anus daily for a long time until the condition of the anal fissure is stable. If you still have questions about the treatment of external hemorrhoids, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
