Can Chinese medicine cure hemorrhoids?

Traditional Chinese medicine has certain efficacy in treating hemorrhoids and can effectively relieve the pain, bleeding and other symptoms caused by hemorrhoids, but it is usually difficult to achieve a complete cure. This is because the formation of hemorrhoids is related to structural changes such as anal varicose veins or downward movement of the anal cushion, and these changes are often difficult to completely reverse through medical treatment.

The following explains in detail the functions and limitations of traditional Chinese medicine in treating hemorrhoids from several aspects:

1. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat hemorrhoids by oral administration and external application. Regulates the body's qi, blood, and organ functions, thereby alleviating hemorrhoid symptoms. Commonly used Chinese medicines, such as Huaijiao Pills and Zhisuning Tablets, have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and can relieve the pain of hemorrhoid patients.

3. Limitations of treatment

Although traditional Chinese medicine can relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids, for patients with severe or recurring symptoms, it is often difficult to achieve the desired effect by relying solely on traditional Chinese medicine. At this time, other methods such as surgery may be needed.

IV. Adjustment of living habits

During the treatment process, patients should also pay attention to adjusting their eating habits, avoiding spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, and keeping stools smooth.
