What ointments do doctors usually recommend?

Ointments occupy a special place in the fight against hemorrhoids. In addition to heparin ointment, which promotes rapid resolution of blood clots, medical specialists often prescribe Relief. The basis of the second ointment is oil obtained from shark liver - a rather exotic component. Relief is considered unique in the sense that it has virtually no side effects during its use. Troxevasin is not far behind Relief in terms of popularity. It quickly removes swelling, Troxevasin strengthens the walls of blood vessels, relieves itching, burning, and irritation of the skin around the anus. During pregnancy, hemorrhoids do not heal for a long time and often become inflamed. Troxevasin helps fight inflammation.

Vishnevsky ointment is often referred to as a classic treatment for hemorrhoids. It is used to treat people of all ages. Can Vishnevsky ointment be used during pregnancy? Medical specialists give a positive answer. The ointment can be used by pregnant women. It helps a lot when external hemorrhoids fester or become inflamed. Vishnevsky ointment is also used to treat hemorrhoids in the postpartum period, because its components do not negatively affect the condition of mother’s milk and the baby receiving it. During pregnancy and after it, women's immunity is significantly reduced. To bear a child, a decrease in the protective reaction is necessary so that the body does not reject the fetus. After childbirth, the previous level of immunity is restored rather slowly. It is precisely when the body’s defense response is reduced that Posterizan is widely used. The ointment relieves pain and inflammation. It helps accelerate cell regeneration in the affected area.

Traditional medicine offers its own options for external remedies for pregnant women. Homemade ointments include propolis, which is also actively used by pharmacists.

It is advisable to use the drugs for thrombosis of hemorrhoids, when blood circulation in the tissues is severely impaired. Ointments containing tonic substances restore the elasticity of the venous walls and improve blood flow. The products can also be used for minor bleeding. Having a vasoconstrictor effect, they stop bleeding and promote healing of fissures in the anal area.

Drugs for severe inflammation and infection:

  • The popular Vishnevsky ointment can also be safely used during pregnancy, however, this drug has special indications: inflammation and suppuration of nodes and underlying tissues. However, in such situations it is better not to take risks and not self-medicate, but to consult an experienced specialist. Typically, a cotton swab, generously lubricated with Vishnevsky ointment, is placed in the rectum for a period of 30 minutes. up to several hours.
  • Levomekol ointment can also be used for severe inflammation. Inserted into the anus on a tampon for 60–120 minutes.
  • Ichthyol ointment, well known to our grandmothers, is also safe and effective during pregnancy, when the “bumps” become enlarged and become infected. However, it is better to use this drug in combination with other drugs for greater effectiveness.

Herbal preparations:

  1. Fleming ointment is a 100% natural product that contains witch hazel, aesculus, calendula, menthol and zinc oxide. Zinc oxide helps dry out “wet” areas and promotes speedy healing. Menthol – cools the tissues for some time after applying the ointment. The remaining components in combination have proven themselves to be an effective remedy for the treatment of hemorrhoids. Reviews from women who used this drug during pregnancy confirm the effectiveness declared by the manufacturer.
  2. “Zdorov” cream for hemorrhoids is also developed on the basis of natural ingredients and includes wax. This product is safe and effective to use during pregnancy, if the woman does not have allergic reactions to bee waste products.
  3. Propolis-based ointment has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
  4. Ointment based on calendula flowers. This drug has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects for hemorrhoids. Typically, calendula ointment is used for inflammation of nodes to suppress pathogenic bacteria. It is advisable to use together with drugs that have a healing effect.
  5. “Bezornil” ointment is very popular among herbal medicine lovers; it contains borneol, calamine, pearls, benzoar, amber and solid fats. The manufacturer claims complex anti-inflammatory, decongestant, antipruritic, hemostatic and regenerating effects. Reviews from proctologists show their skeptical attitude towards this drug.

Hemorrhoids often complicate the course of pregnancy, even if the woman has never previously noted the appearance of symptoms of this disease.
The process of treating hemorrhoids during pregnancy should be treated with increased responsibility, since improper use of drugs or the use of products whose effectiveness can be questioned can harm the health of not only the mother, but also the child. comments powered by HyperComments

Causes of hemorrhoids in pregnant women

For pregnant women, the development of hemorrhoids is a common occurrence. This is explained by the fact that the pregnant woman’s body undergoes changes and goes through a certain restructuring. The pelvic bones unfold, resulting in the greatest flow of blood to the pelvic organs.

In this case, the rectum, located in the pelvic area, is also exposed. As the uterus increases in size, pressure increases and venous circulation is disrupted. The consequence of this process is the formation of blood stagnation.

Pregnant women suffer not only from hemorrhoids. Constipation is a fairly common pathology that expectant mothers have to deal with. The reason is that, against the background of increasing tone of the uterus, the tone of the muscle walls in the rectal region decreases. All these processes are a protective reaction of the body aimed at preventing premature birth.

It should be taken into account that pregnant women experience changes in activity and nutrition - there is a decrease in physical activity and a change in taste preferences. All this leads to a decrease in the tone of the rectal muscles, resulting in constipation.

Useful tips

To reduce swelling and relieve irritation with external hemorrhoids, you can use some folk remedies:

  1. Sitz baths. For them, use a weak solution of potassium permanganate. You can prepare a decoction of nettle, chamomile and plantain. 20 g of the dry mixture is poured with boiling water (2 liters) and kept for 2 hours or boiled in a water bath for half an hour, filtered and added to warm water for baths in the amount of 2 liters of decoction per 5 liters of water.
  2. Compresses. For pain, moisten a gauze pad with cold water and apply to the inflamed area for 2-3 minutes. A piece of gauze can also be soaked in sea buckthorn oil and applied to the inflamed nodes, changing the compress every 2-3 hours.

But medications are more effective because they contain a complex of various substances. When using any ointment for hemorrhoids for pregnant women, personal hygiene must be carefully observed. Preparations for external use must be applied to clean skin of the anus. Therefore, after any act of defecation, it is best to wash the anal area with warm water. It is advisable to use almost all products in the morning and evening, unless otherwise stated in the instructions.

Ointments for hemorrhoids during pregnancy belong to the group of topical drugs that have a quick effect. Despite the fact that many of them are indicated for use during pregnancy, you should first consult with a specialist in order to minimize possible risks, complications and side effects.

Medicines must be harmless

For internal and external forms of hemorrhoids, various conservative methods of combating the disease are used. But all remedies for hemorrhoids during pregnancy certainly have one thing in common: they must be harmless to the woman and the baby in her womb. The occurrence of hemorrhoids in a woman in labor is provoked by a number of factors. Conventionally, they can be divided into three groups:

  • dysfunction of the circulatory system;
  • problems with the normal functioning of the digestive system (including constipation);
  • a changed lifestyle, including a decrease in physical activity.

The best medicine to help combat the last group of causes of hemorrhoids is physical activity commensurate with the woman’s health condition and stage of pregnancy. Physical therapy exercises will help improve the functioning of the body, but it is still impossible to cope with the disease without medications. Folk remedies for hemorrhoids for pregnant women are effective, but it is important to consider that they are auxiliary, and not the main ways to counteract the disease.

As a rule, medications taken internally are not prescribed to pregnant women, because they can cause irreparable harm to the health of the unborn baby. The placenta is not an absolute barrier to medications; it is through it that they enter the fetus’s body. The main emphasis in the treatment of the disease is on external medications for hemorrhoids, applied topically. Their use must certainly be accompanied by dietary correction, exclusion of constipating foods, and stricter personal hygiene. Hemorrhoids develop through several stages, each of which is characterized by distinctive symptoms. The selection of a set of remedies against hemorrhoids directly depends on how the disease progresses.

Instructions for use of ointments

Before starting treatment, you need to carefully read the instructions for using ointments or suppositories. To treat external bumps, it is enough to use the remedy several times a day after hygiene procedures.

Apply the ointment using light, massive movements to the affected area. You can use napkins for application.

Candles are suitable for indoor use only. It's better to put them on at night, before bed. It is enough to apply once a day.

If the doctor offers several ointments to choose from, you can consult with other pregnant women.

Modern medicine has a wide range of treatments for hemorrhoids in pregnant women, taking into account their safety for the baby. However, before using this or that product, you should consult a doctor.

What ointments are not recommended during pregnancy

As noted above, ointments as a dosage form are the safest remedy, as they act locally. But for most of them, the effect on the course of pregnancy has not been reliably studied, since relevant studies have not been conducted. In general, manufacturers indicate in their instructions that such products should be used with caution and only when the benefit outweighs the potential risk. Also, doctors do not recommend expectant mothers to use ointments that contain hormonal components. Drugs with glucocorticoids are prohibited in the first trimester, as some scientists suggest that these substances provoke the development of cleft palate in the child. The prohibition on use during gestation is contained in the instructions for the following popular products:

  • Proctosan;
  • Proctosedyl.


The instructions for Proctosan ointment contain a ban on its use during pregnancy.

In the first trimester, the use of ointments is contraindicated:

  • Aurobin;
  • Gepatrombin G.

What to do if you unknowingly used a prohibited drug

If a woman was unknowingly treated with prohibited drugs, then the doctor should be informed about this. At the same time, according to the famous obstetrician-gynecologist Elena Berezovskaya, you should not panic. You just need to stop using this medication and replace it with another, safer one. If necessary and desired, you can undergo genetic screening and ultrasound. With their help, up to 90% of all developmental defects can be detected. Dr. Evgeniy Komarovsky recommends not to self-medicate in order to avoid such situations, but if such a problem arises, he advises consulting with a geneticist.

If the doctor has any doubts about whether it is possible or not, know that the most competent specialists who have full knowledge of the admissibility of taking certain medications by a pregnant woman work in medical genetic consultations.
