Hemorrhoid Ointment

Active Ingredients: Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Phenylephrine HCl

Hemorrhoid Ointment is a topical drug used to temporarily relieve swelling, burning, pain, or itching caused by hemorrhoids. It can aid in the healing of long-term (chronic) anal fissures or tears. This topical ointment is safe for usage either on the outside or just inside of the anus.

Hemorrhoid Ointment is a combination drug. The active ingredient, Phenylephrine HCl, is classified as a sympathomimetic amine. It works as a vasoconstrictor by narrowing the blood vessels in the area. This reduces swelling, itching, and discomfort. Mineral Oil and Petrolatum are both added to help protect the skin from further irritation.

The mineral oil from this product creates a barrier to prevent water loss from the skin, it keeps the affected area lubricated and reduces irritation and discomfort. Petrolatum is an occlusive agent that forms a protective barrier on the skin and protects the irritated area. It can also prevent further irritation. Phenylephrine HCl is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist. Its vasoconstrictive effect prevents swelling, discomfort, and bleeding.

This product is moderately absorbed through rectal or topical administration and it is distributed through the tissues on the site of application. When applied topically, this product is not metabolized and there is no information about the excretion of this ointment. It leads to quick symptom relief after direct application and the soothing effect lasts for a couple of hours, while the vasoconstrictive effects of Phenylephrine HCl might last for a few hours.

Is only Hemorrhoid Ointment enough to cure hemorrhoids?

It depends on the severity of the cause. In some cases, only this product is enough to completely relieve the symptoms, but in severe cases, it requires different drugs and supplements.

Are there any ways to prevent hemorrhoids?

Patients with hemorrhoids should always go to the bathroom if they feel the need. They should not delay the bathroom as the stool can become hard and dry in the bowel and this will make it harder to pass. This increases the risk of developing hemorrhoids. Patients should also not force a bowel movement when they do not need to go because it will increase the pressure on the venous cushions which leads to hemorrhoids.

The time spent in the bathroom should be minimized because extended stays can strain the bowel movements which leads to stress on the anal blood vessels.

Are there any ways to prevent hemorrhoids through diet?

Patients with hemorrhoids or those with increased risk should consume a healthy diet that is rich in fiber. They should also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Fiber can be consumed through vegetables, fruits, and 100% whole grains. The diet should be balanced because consuming too much fiber-rich diet can cause constipation. Patients should also examine themselves to see if they are intolerant to some foods. Avoiding these foods is crucial in managing hemorrhoids.

Are there any lifestyle recommendations besides this Hemorrhoid supplement?

Physical activities that include walking, running, cycling, and yoga can help in managing hemorrhoid issues. Patients should only avoid lifting heavy weights and other activities that increase abdominal pressure.
