How does hemorrhoids develop in women?
For each person, the “first signs” of this disease manifest individually and very often they do not even pay attention to them. However, there are things that will make you think. The most common first signs of hemorrhoids in women are as follows:
- in the anus there were sensations of heaviness and discomfort;
- during defecation, slight bleeding becomes noticeable;
- inflammatory processes in the anus, marked swelling;
- tingling and pain in the anus;
- swelling of hemorrhoids, their loss;
- the appearance of mucous discharge;
- after bowel movement there is no sensation of complete intestinal release;
- heaviness in the abdomen, flatulence.
The reasons that give impetus to the development of hemorrhoids in women can be very different. Here and a long stay in a sitting or standing position, and inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs and the female genital area, bearing and giving birth to children, tumors and excess weight. The last factor (weight) can be talked about for a long time. In pursuit of a beautiful figure, the first signs of hemorrhoids in women often begin, when ladies sit on long and unbalanced diets that provoke the development of constipation, when cleansing enemas that relax the muscles of the anal sphincter are too often used.
If at least one of these signs appears, you should immediately contact a proctologist, because only a qualified specialist can determine that this is only the first sign of developing hemorrhoids or some other serious disease.
The development of hemorrhoids in men
The first signs of hemorrhoids in men are frequent constipation, mucous discharge, swelling and inflammatory processes in the anus, blood discharge during bowel movements, swelling and burning sensations in the anus. The reasons that give an impetus to the development of the disease in the strong half are somewhat different. Here, among the dominant factors are heredity (on the male line), a sedentary lifestyle associated with professional activity, age-related changes, hard physical work or hobbies associated with weight lifting. Also provoking factors are some diseases: chronic bronchitis, bowel obstruction, tumors in the pelvis, which are often accompanied by the appearance of hemorrhoidal nodes.
Excessive alcohol consumption can also cause hemorrhoids. With abundant and frequent use of alcoholic beverages, blood flow to the pelvic organs is recorded. Those who prefer strong alcohol are especially at risk.
Price range
As for the price line, for a medicine such as musk ointment, the price today is quite high. The cost of one package varies in the region of 1400-1700 rubles. In addition, you can buy it only in online stores, that is, you will have to add the cost of delivery services to the considerable price of the product itself, which will increase financial investments for hemorrhoids ointment by another 10-15%.
Further, after the start of the use of the drug, the patient usually very soon becomes clear that one package is not enough to feel at least some minimal effect.
So with regard to cost, the patient has the final say. Someone will be ready to purchase several packs of this particular medicine. And someone will prefer him another ointment for hemorrhoids, the price of which will more closely correspond to his financial capabilities.
Consumer Reviews
Today you can read a few opinions about this honey. the drug. Mostly musk ointment reviews has the most positive focus. Patients state that almost everyone managed to get rid of the disease using this drug. And if, in parallel with the start of treatment, the approach to nutrition and lifestyle is changed, then in general there can be no doubt about a positive result. Indeed, a balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits and vegetables, by itself, will significantly improve the general condition of the body, tidy up the gastrointestinal tract, and relieve constipation (one of the main factors in the development of the disease).
The main thing in this matter is not to get a fake medication. Some patients talked about the fact that they purchased the drug “for stocks” at a fairly low price and several bottles at once. And did not get any effect. Therefore, before you buy a medicine, you need to know the following:
- the original medication is always accompanied by instructions for use;
- the buyer should be alerted by the suspiciously low cost of the drug;
- a purchase should be made only in special online stores.
By the way, a complete diet and rejection of bad habits, which are usually recommended in the treatment of musk ointment, in a separate group of skeptic patients are a reason for distrust of the drug. And this point of view also has a right to exist. After all, proper nutrition, quitting smoking and alcohol, changing a sedentary existence to an active lifestyle will themselves be a powerful incentive for normalizing the work of all body functions. Therefore, according to individual consumers, this hemorrhoid ointment (the price of which, frankly, is quite high) serves as nothing more than a “pleasant addition to the main course."
The opinion of experts
The opinion of proctologists regarding the use of musk ointment can also not be called unambiguously bad or good. Of course, in the initial stages of the disease, as soon as symptoms are detected and, most importantly, the doctor confirmed that it is hemorrhoids, and not something else more serious and dangerous, musk ointment will be quite effective and will quickly lead to a positive result. And a fairly large group of specialists confirms this.
However, you should not think and hope that if the patient has been postponing the visit to the doctor for a long time and has brought the disease to the full manifestation of all symptoms (acute pain, persistent bleeding, constipation, etc.), ointment, no matter how expensive and effective it is , something will decide. In such cases, a full range of measures (up to surgical) with the use of powerful drugs is required. Ointments (any, including musky) with advanced stages can only be components - certainly not the most important ones - of complex therapy.
Therefore, when the first, most distant symptoms of hemorrhoids appear (discomfort during bowel movements, heaviness in the lower abdomen , etc.), you do not need to read something in social networks and books and make a diagnosis on your own. And the more unacceptable self-medication. Only the doctor, after assessing the patient’s condition, seeing the entire objective picture as a whole, has the right to make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment using certain drugs. And ointments for the treatment of hemorrhoids are no exception to the general rule.
