sea ​​buckthorn suppositories for anal fissure

The resulting cracks in the rectum require medical treatment. Often suppositories are used for children and adults for cracks in the anus. Rectal suppositories for hemorrhoids and anal fissures have a healing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. You should not prescribe medications yourself; only the attending physician can select the best suppositories, based on the severity of the deviation.

Suppositories are a popular and convenient form of medication for the treatment of anal fissures in all age categories of patients.

Symptoms of the disease

An anal fissure manifests itself very painfully, therefore it causes discomfort and sometimes physical suffering to a person. This is due to the numerous nerve endings in this area of ​​the body. Since the defect does not heal on its own, signs of the disease may appear for years. The main ones:

• traces of blood after defecation;
• pain, burning, tingling during and after bowel movements;
• anal sphincter spasms;
• itching in the anus;
• the presence of a sentinel tubercle (in the chronic form).

As a rule, the symptoms of the disease become more pronounced after consuming spicy foods and alcohol. If the acute form of anal fissure is not treated, the disease becomes chronic and the symptoms decrease somewhat. Against the background of painful manifestations, a person may experience a “fear of stool,” due to which he empties his intestines less often, which makes the stool harder and further aggravates the pathology.

Contraindications and side effects

Since sea buckthorn suppositories have a completely natural composition, there are few contraindications to their use:

• children's age (up to 11 years inclusive);
• diarrhea;
• individual intolerance to components.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not contraindications. But before taking sea buckthorn oil internally, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Side effects rarely include burning, itching, allergic reactions (including urticaria), and sometimes a bitter taste in the mouth. There have been no cases of overdose - if the instructions are followed, the drug is safe for health.

Causes and consequences

The etiology of this disease is not fully understood. But it is believed that the main factors contributing to the occurrence of pathology are:

• too hard stool that injures the anal mucosa;
• a sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work and other behavioral characteristics that cause blood stagnation in the perineal area;
• haemorrhoids;
• impaired innervation of the rectum;
• constipation and diarrhea;
• parasitic diseases;
• childbirth;
• lifting weights.

An internal anal fissure requires mandatory treatment by a proctologist. Self-prescription of ointments, suppositories and other medications often turns out to be not only ineffective, but also dangerous, since an untreated disease becomes chronic. In this case, surgery may be necessary to treat it. Possible complications include increased pain, acute paraproctitis, and rectal fistula. In addition, similar symptoms may hide an oncological process.

How drugs work

Before we tell you what effect rectal suppositories provide, let’s look at the nuances of the disease itself. The human rectum contains many veins through which blood circulates.

If blood flow is disrupted, the structure of the vascular walls is also disrupted. This leads to swelling of the hemorrhoidal veins. The walls of the veins become flabby, so they can stretch quite strongly under the influence of strong pressure.

Suppositories have a comprehensive effect on the problem:

• Strengthens the walls of veins.
• Normalize blood circulation.
• They have a tonic effect on blood vessels.

The use of these drugs helps thin the blood. There is a decrease in the inflammatory process in the problem area.

Most anti-hemorrhoid remedies eliminate the symptoms of the disease. Suppositories have a clear anti-inflammatory, antibacterial effect, improve regeneration processes in tissues.

Medicines used by adult patients are not contraindicated for children, but attention should be paid to the composition of the suppositories :

• The composition should include natural and herbal ingredients.
• The dose of medicinal components should be minimal to eliminate the risk of allergic reactions.
• It is important that the composition does not contain synthetic and chemical additives that could negatively affect the baby’s health.

There are several groups of drugs that can be used in the treatment of hemorrhoids and anal fissures in children:

• Suppositories containing belladonna extract reduce inflammation and eliminate pain. Medicines in this group have a healing effect on anal fissures and actively affect hemorrhoids, dissolving them.
• Homeopathic remedies. The features of these rectal suppositories are their low content of active ingredients and a large number of herbal components in the composition. Products containing sea buckthorn, yarrow, tea tree oil, etc. show good effectiveness.
• Using glycerin. Medicines in this group have a relaxing effect on intestinal motility and improve the process of defecation. If you use them regularly, you can get rid of constipation, i.e., one of the main causes of the problem.
• With propolis. These medications effectively eliminate inflammatory processes in the problem area and promote the resorption of hemorrhoids, which makes it possible to effectively combat this disease.

Whatever the medicine, it should be prescribed by the attending physician who is well acquainted with the picture of the disease. He also prescribes the correct dosage, which is especially important in childhood, when the body is not yet strong enough.

Diagnostic methods

Experts distinguish between posterior and anterior anal fissure. They are diagnosed depending on which side of the anal canal the wound defect is located. To make a diagnosis, a proctologist usually only needs a visual examination of the rectum. In addition, to determine the pathology, a digital examination of the anus, anoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are performed. If the pathological area is bleeding and very painful, anesthesia is used during the examination.

A chronic fissure looks like an ulcer with dense, healed edges. Only a doctor can tell you what to do in this case, since this form of the disease does not respond well to conservative treatment.

How to treat anal fissure?

Acute anal fissure is quite easy to treat. For effective therapy, the doctor prescribes:

• suppositories, ointments with analgesic, antispasmodic and wound-healing effects;
• preparations for softening stool and preventing constipation;
• a high fiber diet;
• painkillers (for severe cramps and pain);
• physiotherapy to eliminate spasms;
• performing physical therapy exercises to activate blood circulation and facilitate the passage of feces through the intestines.

How long an anal fissure takes to heal depends on the correctness of the chosen therapy. For the chronic form of the disease, only surgical methods were previously used. Modern technologies make it possible to abandon radical measures and ensure the elimination of pathology without surgery or hospitalization of the patient.

Basic recommendations

Treatment of young patients consists not only of using suppositories and ointments, but also of performing certain actions. You need to pay attention to hygiene - wash the anus after each bowel movement .

You can use enemas with warm water to which sea buckthorn or rosehip oil has been added. It has a relaxing effect, normalizes stool, and the herbal components included in its composition have a healing effect.

Hemorrhoids and anal fissures are a rather unpleasant problem, but parents can get rid of them.

If they follow all medical recommendations, using the necessary suppositories, ointments and other methods of treatment, then the problem will disappear quickly enough.

Radio wave therapy

Minimally invasive treatment of anal fissures involves targeted exposure of tissue to high-frequency radio waves. The procedure is carried out using the Surgitron apparatus. Thanks to radio wave radiation, the liquid in pathologically altered cells evaporates, as a result of which they are destroyed. During such an operation, the electrode does not touch the mucous membrane, but acts without contact. The radio pulse is directed exclusively at the crack, so healthy tissue remains untouched. The blood vessels at the treatment site are sealed, which eliminates bleeding and speeds up healing (rehabilitation time is much shorter compared to how long it takes for marks to heal after surgery).

Before the procedure, the patient must cleanse the intestines with an enema. He is then placed on a couch in a comfortable position, anesthesia is administered, and then the doctor removes pathological tissue using a waveguide electrode.

Sea buckthorn suppositories for hemorrhoids: description

Sea buckthorn suppositories are rectal suppositories containing sea buckthorn oil concentrate in the amount of 0.3 g per 1 piece. They are used mainly for the treatment of hemorrhoids, as well as other mucosal lesions.

Sea buckthorn oil contains a complex of useful substances:

• B vitamins;
• vitamins E, C, K;
• omega-9 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids;
• carotenoids (they provide the characteristic orange color);
• solid organic acids – palmitic, stearic;
• other acids – malic, succinic, tartaric;
• useful micro- and macroelements (silicon, magnesium, nickel, iron, manganese, calcium).

Thanks to its rich chemical composition, the oil has a beneficial effect on body tissues:

• inhibits inflammatory processes;
• eliminates swelling;
• relieves pain;
• eliminates burning and other unpleasant sensations.

Sea buckthorn oil is produced in different forms, including suppositories. They need to be stored in the refrigerator in a temperature range of 0-15 degrees with limited access to children. The general shelf life is 1.5 years (18 months) from the date of production.

Advantages of the method:

• no incisions and no need for dressings;
• safety and bloodlessness (no risk of infection);
• outpatient implementation (without hospitalization);
• rapid patient recovery;
• no dangerous side effects;
• low price compared to surgery.

Professional performance of the procedure ensures the proper therapeutic effect. In this case, the patient will not experience pain during the recovery period. With traditional operating methods, the wound heals within two weeks or more. Moreover, the process is painful and difficult. Therefore, if there is a choice between classical surgery and the radio wave technique, it is better to give preference to the second option.

Indications for use

Suppositories are used rectally if there are the following indications:

• hemorrhoids of various forms;
• proctitis;
• sphincteritis of erosive-ulcerative type;
• fissures in the anal area;
• radiation damage to mucosal tissue.

Also, suppositories are used externally, applied to the affected areas:

• burn wounds (grades 2 and 3);
• postoperative wounds;
• scalped wounds;
• abrasions;
• trophic ulcers.

Prevention

The development of anal fissure can be prevented by following certain preventive measures. The fundamental point in this case is the normalization of diet and lifestyle, which implies:

• refusal of alcohol, spicy food, smoking;
• physical activity (without lifting heavy weights);
• a diet with sufficient fiber content;
• periodic visits to a proctologist (especially after 40 years).

You can learn more about the symptoms and treatment of this disease by contacting the specialists of the Medical On Group - St. Petersburg clinic. Our proctologists use progressive methods of therapy that are minimally invasive and do not require hospitalization of the patient. After the examination, they will tell you how to cure the disease with minimal risks to the body.
