Hemorrhoids are a delicate problem for which not everyone is ready to go to the doctor. Against the background of varicose veins of the rectum, itching, burning, and discomfort appear in the anus. Poor circulation in this area leads to the formation of hemorrhoids. At an early stage of the disease, conservative treatment with drugs is successfully used. Ointments for hemorrhoids can be prescribed as local therapy.
Of the currently existing preparations, ointments and gels are considered by proctologists to be the most effective for eliminating the unpleasant symptoms of stage I and II hemorrhoids. Ointments available in pharmacies can be divided into three groups according to the principle of action:
- healing, painkillers - help tissues regenerate, fight the symptoms of hemorrhoids;
- antibacterial - disinfect, prevent the development of infection;
- anticoagulants and venoprotectors - prevent the formation of blood clots in the nodes, have venotonic properties, protect capillaries and improve blood supply.
What is Troxevasin
A medicine based on the angioprotective active substance troxerutin. Regulates the tone of capillary vessels and veins. It is used to eliminate pain, swelling and trophic disorders caused by their dysfunction.
Troxevasin is produced:
- in the form of an ointment for topical use: a viscous yellowish gel-like mass containing 2% troxerutin, packaged in 40 g tubes;
- in the form of capsules for oral administration: in a dosage of 300 mg of the active substance, gelatin, in blisters.
The product has a pronounced venoprotective effect. It helps reduce the permeability of vascular walls, improves blood outflow, prevents its stagnation in the lower extremities, prevents thrombus formation and the development of inflammatory processes. Troxevasin alleviates the underlying symptoms of varicose veins and slows down its progress.
Troxevasin ointment for hemorrhoids
The drug in gel form is intended for external use. The concentration of the active substance here is less than 2%. It is much lower than in capsules. In appearance, this gel is a yellowish mass that has a specific aroma. The drug is produced in aluminum tubes of 20, 40 and 100 grams.
When receiving, it is important to follow the following rules:
- Before using the drug, it is necessary to have a bowel movement naturally.
- The anal area should be washed with warm water and gently blotted with a napkin.
- The gel must be applied to the inflamed site and the skin surface around it.

What are hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a very common disease, which is varicose veins of the rectum in the anus. Patients with this diagnosis make up approximately a quarter of all proctological patients, with men suffering three to four times more often than women. The exact cause of the disease has not been established. It is assumed that hemorrhoids develop due to a congenital deficiency of connective tissue.
There are acute and chronic forms of the disease. Nodes can be internal or external. About half of all patients suffer from the combined form
Hemorrhoids develop gradually:
- Discomfort in the rectum (foreign body sensation).
- Pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
- Prolapse of hemorrhoids.

Treatment of the disease is complex:
- diet (the goal is to prevent constipation);
- drugs for oral administration;
- external preparations - ointments for hemorrhoids;
- rectal suppositories;
- surgical intervention, including minimally invasive methods.
Troxevasin is also prescribed for hemorrhoids, although not often. The choice of medication form and treatment regimen depends on the type of disease and the prevailing symptoms.

After application, you can leave the skin open or apply fixing bandages, bandages, and put on compression stockings and bandages if necessary.

Reviews
Igor: Troxevasin can hardly be called an effective treatment for hemorrhoids, but in the initial stages it helps relieve unpleasant symptoms: itching, discomfort, swelling.
Alice: I treated hemorrhoids with Troxevasin during pregnancy. Indeed, the condition improved the very next day: the external nodes decreased, the pain subsided, and besides, it feels pleasantly cold when applied and thus brings relief.
Daria: I consider the use of Troxevasin for hemorrhoids as part of a complex treatment for non-advanced forms. It has a jelly-like consistency, is odorless, pleasant to use, and thanks to its cooling effect it quickly relieves discomfort.

The drug has five pharmacological effects
- Venotonic – reduces the stretching of veins, tension in the walls of capillaries, blood vessels and increases the movement of lymph.
- Antioxidant - inhibits the oxidation of hyaluronic, ascorbic acids and lipids, which leads to improved blood microcirculation and reduces the risk of blood clots.
- Angioprotective - reduces the permeability and fragility of small capillaries, increases the density of vascular walls and increases the transport of nutrients to tissues and organs.
- Anti-inflammatory - prevents the removal of fluid and blood cells from the capillaries, resulting in reduced swelling and inflammation.
- Antihemorrhagic - helps reduce pain and stop bleeding.
New medicine
