Comparison of anti-hemorrhoid suppositories and anti-hemorrhoid ointment
Hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids is a common disease in society that can be caused by increased blood pressure in the large vessels in the anus and endome. This disease causes pain, bleeding and swelling in the anal area. To treat hemorrhoids, there are different methods, two methods of anti-hemorrhoid suppository and anti-hemorrhoid ointment are among the popular methods for treating this disease, and we will compare them below. Anti-hemorrhoid suppository is very effective and is known as one of the best methods of hemorrhoid treatment due to the lack of serious side effects.
Complications of anti-hemorrhoid suppository:
If the suppository is not used correctly and for a sufficient period of time, it may cause side effects such as anal irritation, itching, burning and pain. Also, if you use suppositories excessively, it may cause side effects such as convulsions, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations.
Anti-hemorrhoid ointment:
Anti-hemorrhoid ointment is also a local treatment that is placed on the skin of the anus and due to its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and pain-relieving ingredients, it reduces pain, swelling and bleeding. Anti-hemorrhoid ointment is also effective, but it is less effective than suppositories due to the fact that therapeutic substances do not enter the anus.
Complications of anti-hemorrhoid ointment:
In case of incorrect use of anti-hemorrhoid ointment, it may cause side effects such as itching, inflammation and sensitivity. Also, long-term use of anti-hemorrhoid ointment may cause side effects such as reducing the body's defense power and causing infection.
Result:
Anti-hemorrhoid suppository is a suitable option for hemorrhoid treatment due to the entry of therapeutic substances into the anus and the absence of serious side effects, but if the suppository is not used, anti-hemorrhoid ointment is also an effective method in the treatment of hemorrhoids. In any case, to use any of these methods, it is better to consult your doctor.
