How to use sea buckthorn candles for hemorrhoids during pregnancy?

Many women in the waiting period of the child are faced with such a problem as hemorrhoids. At the same time, not all drugs are suitable for treatment, because many drugs during pregnancy are contraindicated.

Future mothers prefer herbal remedies with a minimal amount of side effects and contraindications. One of these means - candles with sea buckthorn. How to use them correctly, whether they have analogues, we will tell in this article.

Sea buckthorn candles are a natural herbal preparation produced by the pharmaceutical company Nizhfarm.

Another manufacturer "Dalkharmharm" produces a tool called "Sea buckthorn oil" in the form of rectal suppositories.

As part of - sea buckthorn oil, as well as two types of preservatives harmless to human health - butyloxyanisole and butylhydroxytoluene (E 321 additive). The form of candles gives solid fat, which makes up the bulk of the suppository.

Candles with sea buckthorn oil are used not only in proctology for the treatment of anal fissures and hemorrhoids, but also in gynecology. The vaginal preparation is administered with cervical erosion, inflammatory processes in the vagina and appendages.

Sea buckthorn oil has a strong wound-healing effect on skin and mucous membranes. It not only helps them restore integrity after damage, but also actively opposes the inflammatory process.

Biological antioxidants act at the cellular level, protecting and preserving membranes from destruction. The composition of the main active ingredient contains many vitamins that are important for tissue regeneration - E, C, A, K and others.

Thus, one should not expect a powerful anesthetic effect from sea buckthorn candles. To achieve this result, there are other drugs that contain anesthetics (for example, Ultraprokt). But candles with sea buckthorn oil will help quickly enough to cope with inflammation of the rectum, cracks, if any.

As a result of reducing the inflammatory process, swelling is reduced, venous nodes become smaller, ulcers and wounds heal both with external hemorrhoids and with internal hemorrhoids.

Sea buckthorn oil - famous natural antibiotic. It has a pronounced effect against many representatives of the microbial world, for example, against salmonella, staphylococcus and Escherichia coli. Therefore, the drug can be used in cases where hemorrhoids are complicated by bacterial inflammation.

Candles are allowed for pregnant and nursing mothers. In pregnancy, the drug can be used at any time, since sea buckthorn oil does not have any negative impact on the health of the expectant mother or the fetus.

Candles melt easily in the hands, and therefore they should be stored in the refrigerator, and moistened with cold water before use. After the emptying of the intestines, the future mother should not use toilet paper, so as not to cause additional mechanical irritation of the anus. It is better to thoroughly rinse the anus and carefully insert the candle rectally as deep as possible.

It is better to introduce candles in the supine position. The horizontal position with slightly raised legs should be observed about 20 minutes after the injection, in order to give the sea buckthorn oil a chance to more fully absorb into the mucous membranes.

Women should remember that the spots from sea buckthorn oil are difficult to wash off, so you should not wear white skirts and trousers immediately after the candle is inserted, you should not immediately sit on furniture with soft light upholstery - a part of the preparation in liquid form can flow from the rectum and dirty furniture and clothes. It is reasonable to use sanitary pads that will protect against such unpleasant consequences.

If the future mother has a prolapse of hemorrhoidal venous nodes, before inserting the suppository, it is advisable to moisten a finger in ordinary liquid sea buckthorn oil, gently massage the anus with it, carefully trim the nodules inside. After that, you can enter a candle.

The course of treatment with sea buckthorn candles during pregnancy is 10-15 days. If during this time of relief did not come, inflammation and itching, pain and swelling did not diminish, the woman should definitely visit the proctologist. Sea buckthorn candles are allowed to take repeated courses after a short break.

The drug has virtually no contraindications. It is allowed for pregnant women, children and pensioners.

This probability is minimal, but it still exists, because sea buckthorn oil, like any herbal preparation, may be perceived inadequately by the body.

Guessing about an allergic reaction to candles with sea buckthorn is not difficult - a woman has a burning sensation and itching a few minutes after the suppository is injected. If such a reaction occurs, you should refuse treatment with these suppositories and consult your doctor about the choice of another drug.

Sea buckthorn candles for hemorrhoids should also not be used during periods of diarrhea. Sea buckthorn oil can increase the manifestation of liquid stool, which can deliver additional pain to the expectant mother.

Cases of overdose with sea buckthorn oil in the form of rectal suppositories are not described in the medical literature. About how the plant component interacts with other drugs and substances, also practically nothing is known.

Analogues such candles do not have. On the shelves of pharmacies you can find sea buckthorn suppositories of three manufacturers - Moldovan, Far Eastern and Nizhny Novgorod.

They differ only in price - the most expensive - candles from Nizhfarm. Their price is above 120 rubles for 10 pieces. Preparations from other manufacturers cost less than 100 rubles for 10 pieces.

An alternative to rectal suppositories may be sea ​​buckthorn oil soaked tampons. They can easily be done at home, they should also be administered after each bowel movement, in the morning and in the evening before bedtime, but one should not forget to carefully remove the tampon. You can make small tampons so that they themselves come out with feces.

The shelf life of sea buckthorn suppositories is not three years, as with most medicines, but only one and a half. It is necessary to pay attention to this. Candles that have expired are strictly prohibited to use. Therefore, if the drug is purchased immediately with a reserve for pregnancy and the postpartum period, you should carefully read the dates on each package of the drug.

Most expectant mothers have left positive feedback on the use of this drug on the Internet. As advantages, the natural origin of the product, its harmlessness to pregnant women are noted. The disadvantages that women point to are difficulties in opening the suppository packaging. Candles open quite difficult.

Many pregnant women stress that the independent use of sea buckthorn candles did not bring the desired result, and only the alternation of this drug with other hemorrhoid drugs (including those of synthetic origin) made it possible to cope with the painful problem completely.

Women warn that soiled sea buckthorn oil underwear is practically not cleanableand therefore strongly recommend to take this fact into account when using the drug. Some expectant mothers used these candles for prophylactic purposes (one per day) to prevent constipation during pregnancy and not to provoke an exacerbation of hemorrhoids.
