Posterisan protect ointment, 50 g

What are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are ring-shaped cushions of blood vessels located behind the sphincter in the anal canal.They seal the rectum from the outside and prevent stool residue, secretions and intestinal wind from escaping.If pressure is exerted on the blood vessel pads for a long time, the blood cannot drain and the bulging hemorrhoids are pushed outwards, especially in cases of constipation and forced bowel movements.As a result, the connective tissue loses its elasticity and becomes increasingly irritated, and fecal and wound secretions escape into the buttock fold.The skin on the anus begins to itch and burn.

Medical science only speaks of hemorrhoidal disease when the vascular cushions pathologically enlarge and the nodular protrusions lead to typical symptoms such as itching, burning, pain or even oozing.

Causes of hemorrhoids

The causes of hemorrhoidal problems are varied and often have to do with our modern lifestyle.These include an unbalanced, low-fiber diet, too little fluid intake, sitting for hours, too little exercise and straining during bowel movements.Lack of exercise itself does not cause hemorrhoid problems, but sitting too much makes the intestines sluggish.Those who are sensitive are prone to constipation under these conditions.This in turn causes you to press hard when going to the toilet, which irritates the hemorrhoidal pads, which can lead to hemorrhoidal problems.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids

For most patients, hemorrhoids initially cause little discomfort.You often only notice them when traces of bright red blood can be seen on the toilet paper or on the stool.Other signs may include burning, oozing, itching and the feeling that the bowel is not completely emptied at the end of a bowel movement.The skin around the anus is very sensitive.Irritation, injury or inflammation can easily occur.

If you have frequent or chronic complaints in the anal region, you should definitely consult your family doctor.

Posterisan protect ointment - relief from hemorrhoids

One in two people will suffer from hemorrhoids in the course of their life - this is the colloquial term for a disease of the venous plexuses under the rectal mucosa (hemorrhoids), which, in addition to bleeding and weeping, also causes symptoms such as itching and pain.Posterisan protect ointment quickly relieves these symptoms by nourishing and protecting the affected skin in the anal region.Thanks to its skin protection complex, it makes bowel movements easier, inhibits the recurrence of symptoms and shortens the duration of the acute phase of symptoms.

No prescription is required for this product.

Nourishing protection for the stressed anal region

Posterisan protect ointment contains the active ingredients jojoba oil, beeswax and cetyl stearyl isononanoate.Jojoba oil increases the moisture absorption of stressed skin and gives it elasticity again.There are also indications that the oil, which is actually a melt-in-the-mouth wax, has an anti-inflammatory effect.Beeswax has a water-repellent effect and forms a protective film in the anus area.Cetylstearyl isononanoate also makes the skin supple.Thanks to this combination of active ingredients, Posterisan protect ointment covers the sensitive anal region like a protective coat and thus protects against irritation, inhibits inflammation and relieves discomfort, especially during bowel movements.
