Anal candles are anti-inflammatory. Candles from anal fissures

When injuring the rectal mucosa, small abrasions and wounds, called anal fissures, can occur on its surface. As a rule, the reason for this is a tendency to chronic constipation, the presence of hemorrhoids, or the consequences of physical effort (for example, weight lifting). In women, a similar problem often occurs during pregnancy or childbirth.

In order to get rid of a painful ailment that greatly complicates and makes the act of defecation very painful, anal candles are used.

How anal fissures appear

Specialists distinguish two forms of development of anal fissures - acute and chronic. In the first case, the patient has acute pain during defecation, sphincter spasms that intensify pain and make them throb, as well as spotting from the anus while visiting the toilet. With infection of the crack, a constant anal itching may appear.

In the chronic form, the pain may be mild or even absent altogether, which, of course, does not mean the disappearance of the problem.

As mentioned above, for the treatment of this pathology, candles are prescribed for anal fissures with anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect. Sometimes, in order to strengthen it, the patient is additionally prescribed special baths, and in difficult cases, injections.

How to start the treatment of anal fissures

If cracks appeared due to exacerbation of hemorrhoids or a tendency to constipation, then treatment should begin with normalization of the stool. Until the problem of dense feces disappears, cracks will naturally appear again and again.

Only regulation of the transit of contents along the rectum will allow you not to return all the time to the problem of the occurrence of new cracks. And finally, candles for the treatment of anal fissures will help you to cope with them.

How do healing candles work?

The action of the described suppositories is mainly aimed at enhancing the regeneration of damaged tissue of the rectum. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects are often added to these properties.

The most popular suppositories from anal fissures, which include an analgesic, are Anestezol, Ultraprokt, as well as candles with calendula and Procto-Glivenol. As an anti-inflammatory drug, a suppository containing shark liver oil is considered particularly effective - Relief.

When treating cracks, it is important not to start the pathology, since if it is not cured within a month, then the healing process will be more painful and even surgical intervention may be required.

Anal anti-inflammatory suppositories

The anti-inflammatory effect of suppositories is one of the main in the treatment of both cracks and hemorrhoids. We list the drugs in which this is especially expressed:

1. These include Salofalk, a powerful agent whose active substance is mesalazine. This medication should be used three times a day. But for patients with impaired kidney and liver function, as well as with peptic ulcer, these candles are contraindicated.
2. Propolis anal candles are very popular as a wound healing anti-inflammatory agent. They can be administered only once a day (at bedtime). Treatment is carried out for 7-10 days. They have practically no contraindications.
3. The drug "Anuzol" has a strong antiseptic, drying and anti-inflammatory effect, which manifests itself already 20 minutes after the introduction of the suppository. It is also effective for burning, tingling, or irritation in the anorectal region. Contraindicated in diseases of the prostate gland, tachycardia, heart failure, as well as pregnant and lactating.
4. Methyluracil suppositories are also effective, which not only relieve inflammation, but also enhance tissue regeneration and have protective properties.
   

Analgesic candles

Not all rectal suppositories produce an analgesic effect. Naturally, it depends on the active ingredients of the drug and their concentration.

One of the good pain relievers is Neo-Anuzol suppositories, which can bring relief not only with cracks, but also with prolonged, weeping hemorrhoids. No less effective is the Ginkor Procto drug, which saves from pain and itching in the anus. It is used as an anesthetic and after surgery for hemorrhoids.

For pregnant and lactating women, Natalsid candles will become a find. Alginic acid, which is part of the suppository, has the ability to swell in the fluid and envelop the walls of the rectum, which relieves pain. These same suppositories can reduce the inflammatory process in 7-8 days, and after 2 weeks, as a rule, complete recovery also occurs.

How to insert an anal candle

In order for the action of rectal suppositories to be most effective, the patient needs to follow some rules:

1. Candles in the anus are injected only after emptying the intestines (if it is impossible to do it yourself, put yourself an enema).
2. Prepare wet wipes and lay on your side. In this case, bend the legs at the knees - this position is the most convenient for introducing a candle. But you can carry out the procedure and lying on your back, putting a roller under the buttocks or standing on your knees and resting on your elbows.
3. Before introducing a suppository, relax and enter it slowly. To facilitate the introduction, you can lubricate the anus with baby cream or petroleum jelly.
4. Anal candles are introduced to the length of the index finger, after which the buttocks are brought together and held for a couple of seconds in this position.
5. Dry your hands with prepared wipes and lie down for about half an hour. During this time, the medicinal substance will have time to absorb into the mucosa of the rectum and begin its healing effect.

Some more tips

1. Most often, candles are administered twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, but sometimes one procedure is enough, and in some cases it is done three times a day (always the last introduction is done at night).
2. If the procedure immediately caused you to have a strong desire to empty yourself, then after going to the toilet it will have to be repeated.
3. Remember that injected anal candles can leak.
4. If you have pain after administering suppositories, be sure to inform your doctor. You may need to replace this drug with another one.

Experts advise patients during treatment to refrain from acidic, spicy and salty foods, as well as from alcohol, which can have an irritating effect on the wound surface.

Within two weeks, the patient should cause stool only with the help of an enema and avoid products that can cause relaxation, since liquid stool, falling to the bottom of the crack, as a rule, causes not only burning, but also infection of the wound, which affects the course of the disease.
