Many patients try to alleviate symptoms and relieve pain with the help of medications. The most popular are rectal suppositories. They act directly on the lesion and do not require special preparation. We will consider below which suppositories are best to choose for the treatment of hemorrhoidal “bumps”.

Rectal suppositories for severe pain syndrome
Here we will talk about a list of the most effective pain-relieving suppositories used to treat hemorrhoids.
- Proctosedyl M. The composition contains antibacterial, hormonal and analgesic substances. Due to the large number of strong active ingredients, the drug quickly relieves all manifestations of hemorrhoids, even severe ones.
- Procto-glivenol. The drug relieves intense pain and relieves patients from itching. Also, due to the presence of tribenoside in the composition, it improves blood flow in the inflamed area and eliminates swelling.
- Relief Advance - soft suppositories for hemorrhoids. Due to the content of a large amount of vegetable oils, the drug gently relieves pain and reduces inflammatory reactions.
- Relief Ultra. Unlike the previous drug, it also contains a hormonal component, thanks to which it fights the manifestations of hemorrhoids even more actively. At the same time, its cost is, of course, higher.
- Hematrombin G. The drug has a lightning-fast effect. Literally a minute after administration, it relieves itching and pain in the affected area. The effect is realized due to the content of the hormone prednisolone in the suppositories. However, these suppositories do not treat the disease, but only relieve symptoms, and therefore have a short-term effect.
Anuzol
The composition includes zinc sulfate, bismuth tribromophenolate, bismuth oxide complex, belladonna leaf extract. When used, suppositories with belladonna anesthetize, dry, and have an antispasmodic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic effect.

How to insert correctly
Before using rectal suppositories, you must take a hygienic shower, paying special attention to cleansing the perianal area.
It is recommended to insert suppositories once a day after defecation in the morning or evening. If constipation occurs, it is recommended to take a mild, herbal laxative.
Attention! Most suppositories for hemorrhoids have side effects and contraindications, so their use requires mandatory consultation with a specialist. The doctor will select the most suitable drug for you, which will help you quickly cope with the disease.
Natalsid
A natural medicine whose effect is due to a natural ingredient – sodium alginate. This substance stops bleeding, heals wounds, relieves pain, and relieves inflammation. In addition, intestinal function is further normalized.
Contraindications include the following conditions:
- intolerance to components;
- age restrictions (prohibited under 14 years old).
When diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids, treatment is carried out for 1-2 weeks, the frequency of use is 1 suppository 2 times a day. Customer reviews confirm that suppositories are well tolerated, only in some situations allergic reactions may occur.
Diagnosis and choice of treatment tactics
Diagnosis of hemorrhoids is carried out by a proctologist using a digital examination. Symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and the sensation of a foreign body in the rectum occur with cancer, as well as with other pathologies of the lower intestine.
Therefore, the general list of examinations may include sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, as well as laboratory tests.
At the final stage of diagnosis, treatment tactics are chosen. Acute hemorrhoids are treated conservatively, and in the chronic form of the disease they resort to surgery, giving preference to minimally invasive treatment methods.
The exception is cases when surgery is temporarily contraindicated. For women, this is pregnancy, the postpartum period, as well as situations when it is necessary to stabilize the general condition of the patient. This situation can arise during acute infections or during exacerbation of severe chronic diseases.
Symptoms of a chronic fissure
We need to talk separately about chronic anal fissure, since the symptoms may vary slightly. These include:
- Painful sensations that occur during the act of defecation, straining, and last about 4 minutes after it. The pain cannot be called severe; the term “tolerable” is more appropriate.
- Sphincter spasm, which is not as pronounced as in the case of the acute stage
- Bleeding from the anus. You can notice it by traces of blood on toilet paper or on the surface of stool
- The appearance of a “bump”, which indicates the presence of a constant inflammatory process
- Cyclicity of symptoms. This happens because the crack can heal, and then, under the influence of hard feces, begin to bleed again. Also, a crack can make itself felt after heavy physical exertion.
If a person has at least one of the above symptoms, then it is necessary to consult a specialist as soon as possible, because a chronic disease is much more difficult to treat than the acute stage.
Reviews from patients about the operation
We analyzed patient reviews about the rehabilitation period after hemorrhoid removal. The analysis showed that the severity of pain, difficulty with defecation and bleeding after surgery depends on the size and number of nodes removed.
Patients who have consulted a doctor with a single small node speak of surgical intervention as a completely tolerable procedure, with a short rehabilitation period.
When it comes to several large nodes, treatment will be lengthy. If the doctor recommends a minimally invasive method, you will have to remove one node per week, so the healing process will take several weeks. A surgical operation will remove all pathological elements at once, but in this case the rehabilitation period may also take several weeks.
Therefore, we recommend that you consult a doctor in a timely manner in order to intervene at an early stage of the disease. Additional information about preparing for surgery and rules of behavior during the rehabilitation period can be read in the article “Treatment of hemorrhoids in men.”
