Types of suppositories
Today, pharmacies offer 4 types of relief suppositories. When choosing a remedy, you should take into account the symptoms of the disease. It should be understood that successful treatment of hemorrhoids is only possible with an individual approach.
The most commonly prescribed treatment for internal hemorrhoids is classic relief. The components in its composition allow you to quickly stop bleeding and swelling. The main active substance in the classic drug is phenylephrine hydrochloride. It refers to adrenergic stimulants. The component has a local vasoconstrictor effect and improves blood circulation in hemorrhoids. Against this background, the release of exudate decreases and swelling is relieved. Thanks to the cocoa butter content, it has a pronounced softening effect. Due to its mild effect, classic relief is indicated for preventive purposes to prevent exacerbation of the disease. The drug has minimal side effects and can be used for a long time.
Other types of medicinal suppositories:
- Relief Advance. This remedy has a strong analgesic effect. The main active ingredient in the drug is benzocaine, which is a strong anesthetic. Suppositories are recommended for use in the acute stage of the disease, strangulation of the node, as well as after operations or during painful diagnostic procedures. The drug has a number of serious contraindications and can cause negative reactions in the body, so it should only be used if recommended by a doctor.
- Relief Ultra. The active ingredients in the product are zinc sulfate and hydrocortisone acetate. This combination provides a strong anti-inflammatory effect and allows you to quickly relieve itching. The product is an emergency aid for anal fissures. In the postoperative period, suppositories help prevent the development of the inflammatory process. It is allowed to use the product in short courses - up to 7 days. It is important to exclude the presence of contraindications before use.
- Relief Pro. The drug contains fluocortolone pivalate. This substance blocks the production of inflammatory mediators. The pronounced analgesic effect of suppositories is provided by lidocaine. The product is recommended for chronic pathologies that are accompanied by constant pain and inflammation. Due to the large number of side effects, the drug can only be used if indicated and recommended by a doctor.
How to use Relief candles
Before using candles, it is necessary to carry out hygiene procedures.
It is necessary to enter 1 piece. up to 4 times a day (including before bedtime).
Suppositories are best administered in the morning, at night and after each bowel movement. The therapeutic course lasts on average 1-2 weeks.
With regular use, you can achieve a lasting therapeutic result and eliminate the symptoms of the disease.
Do not use the product if the protective coating is damaged or lost.
Need for movement
Everyone knows the saying that movement is life, but only a few follow it. Few people can force themselves to exercise regularly, but reasonable physical activity eliminates the second of the factors leading to hemorrhoids - stagnation of blood in the veins of the small pelvis.
It is believed that the most beneficial types of physical activity are gymnastics, walking, exercise on an exercise bike, and swimming, but exercises involving weight lifting, on the contrary, will lead to exacerbation or development of hemorrhoids. It is better to cross out weightlifting from the list of suitable sports that can cure hemorrhoids without medication.
For people who want to treat the manifestations of the disease by changing the motor mode, even special gymnastics have been developed. List of the simplest exercises against hemorrhoids:
• Alternating tension and relaxation of the gluteal muscles in a standing position with crossed legs.
• Alternate contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles while sitting on a hard chair with the torso slightly tilted forward.
• A whole list of exercises called “Kegel exercises” has been developed for women. More often they are prescribed for gynecological problems, after childbirth, but are no less effective for training the muscles of the anus for hemorrhoids.
Contraindications and adverse reactions
You should avoid using Relief in case of hypersensitivity to its constituent elements. The drug is also contraindicated for thromboembolism and granulocytopenia. Take with extreme caution if you have high blood sugar levels, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, heart and vascular diseases, or hepatitis.
In rare cases, taking the drug may cause unwanted reactions such as allergies.
The central nervous system may manifest itself as nervousness, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and headache.
From the cardiovascular system, increased blood pressure and abnormal heartbeat may be observed.
A burning sensation, itching, and swelling may occur at the application site.
No cases of overdose have been identified.
Surgical methods for treating hemorrhoids
Drug therapy helps block incipient hemorrhoids. In cases where stages 3-4 are diagnosed, it is difficult to treat exclusively with medication. In this situation, they resort to surgical correction, that is, an operation to remove hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidectomy
The most applicable procedure for hemorrhoids. The intervention was developed by surgeons of the last century Morgan and Milligan. There are several modifications or methods of performing the operation:
• Classic. It involves complete removal of the nodes using available surgical instruments (nowadays, lasers and electrocoagulators are more often used to reduce blood loss). Not only the nodes themselves are subject to excision, but also the underlying mucosal tissue, which increases the healing time and makes the operation more traumatic. Rehabilitation with the classical method of intervention can take about 1 month.
• Closed. Introduced somewhat later by Ferguson and therefore bears his surname. It differs from the first option in that the intervention ends with tissue suturing, which shortens the rehabilitation period.
Ligation and coagulation
Hemorrhoidectomy is not the only option for surgical removal of hemorrhoids. The list is long. One commonly used method is ligation. It is performed using special rings made of latex, or by applying sutures. As a result of the procedure, the blood supply to the node is stopped, its walls collapse, and over time it falls off, leaving a scar. After the node falls off, the latex ring is excreted in the feces.
The list will continue with coagulation. Electro- or photocoagulation is used. The first procedure for hemorrhoids is performed using electric current. Intervention, unfortunately, does not provide a 100% guarantee of recovery.
Without taking adequate measures to prevent recurrence of hemorrhoids. In some cases, scar deformation, pain, and sphincter spasms may occur. Photocoagulation is good for primary hemorrhoids. Bleeding is considered a complication of the procedure, and the disadvantages include the fact that only 1 node can be treated in this way per 1 intervention.
Sclerotherapy, disarterization and cryodestruction
Sclerotherapy consists of introducing a special substance into the lumen of the nodes - sclerosant. As a result of treatment, the lumen of the vein “collapses”. Complications are rare.
Hemorrhoids can also be removed using cryodestruction. The method is based on the effect of low temperatures on the pathological focus. Cryodestruction will help eliminate the disease at any stage of the disease. For initial hemorrhoids, it does not require hospitalization.
Currently, a method such as disarterization is often used. During the intervention, the blood vessel feeding the hemorrhoids is ligated. Blood no longer flows into the pathologically dilated veins and they gradually “collapse.” The procedure does not require long-term rehabilitation and allows you to relieve hemorrhoids in the shortest possible time.
The list of radical treatment methods will be completed by Longo surgery. The intervention is carried out using a specially created device, and the time spent on the procedure rarely exceeds 25-30 minutes. Unfortunately, the method is only suitable for relieving internal hemorrhoids.
How to use Relief ointment in cosmetology
It is worth saying that in addition to the indications indicated in the instructions, Relief is often used in cosmetology as an ointment.
Since the ingredients are beeswax, corn oil and shark oil, many women and men have already appreciated the effectiveness of the anti-wrinkle product. The ointment can also remove bags and dark circles under the eyes, smooth the skin and nourish it with nutrients. The cream should be applied in a thin layer, avoiding contact with the eyes.
Despite such results in the field of cosmetology, doctors categorically refuse to confirm the feasibility and necessity of such inappropriate use.
Available treatments for hemorrhoids
Non-drug therapy does not work as quickly as desired, and surviving an exacerbation is quite difficult, given the nature of the symptoms. It is the medications that will help to quickly relieve the signs of the disease.
The list of medications is long. The following may be prescribed for treatment:
• Suppositories for early hemorrhoids.
• Ointments or creams to relieve symptoms of hemorrhoids.
• Tablets or capsules for severe hemorrhoids.
A list of the most popular treatments is presented below.
special instructions

The drug can be stored for 24 months. It should be kept in a dry and dark place at room temperature away from children.
You should not use Relief in parallel with antihypertensive drugs and antidepressants.
The medicine does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and other mechanisms that require increased concentration.
Peculiarities
Relief suppositories, reviews of which indicate their high effectiveness, belong to the group of drugs used to treat hemorrhoids. Today they are represented by several types of suppositories. Suppositories differ in composition, but all have a pronounced anti-inflammatory, healing and analgesic effect. This allows you to quickly relieve unpleasant symptoms of the disease.
Relief candles are produced in a torpedo shape, which simplifies their use. Suppositories may be white or have a slightly yellowish tint. Since different drugs contain different basic and additional substances, this makes it possible to ensure the effectiveness of the drug in different cases.
