During the 9 months of pregnancy, chronic diseases make themselves known and new ones appear. Physiological changes in the female body affect all organs - the spine, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary system. Vessels become especially vulnerable. A decrease in physical activity with concomitant digestive disorders leads to varicose veins of the venous plexus of the rectum - hemorrhoids. It, like any other inflammatory process, is easier to cope with at the initial stage by using natural remedies, for example, based on sea buckthorn oil.
Instructions for use
Sea buckthorn candles are a popular product due to their unique effect. They have been used in medicine for a long time.
Regular use of suppositories in accordance with the instructions makes it possible to achieve a state of remission in many patients.
Properties
Sea buckthorn oil is a natural product rich in active biological elements:
- vitamins (K, F, E, D, C, A);
- tannins;

Together they have a beneficial local effect on hemorrhoids:
- prevents the formation of tumors;
- protection;

Pharmacology
Sea buckthorn suppositories activate the work of immune cells. Biological components penetrate deep into the inflammatory focus. This helps relieve inflammation, itching, swelling and pain.
Sea buckthorn is considered a record holder for the content of vitamin E and C, which catalyze the breakdown of inflammatory mediators - histamine, cytokine, prostaglandin. Pain and itching go away along with them.
If hemorrhoids are accompanied by bleeding, then vitamin K, which is involved in the process of blood clotting, becomes important for the body.
The components of the candles have antibacterial properties, changing the DNA of pathogenic microbes. They are able to fight infectious pathogens such as staphylococcus, salmonella, and E. coli.
The product also restores hemorrhoids that are damaged during bowel movements.
Indications for use
Rectal sea buckthorn suppositories can be used independently and in complex therapy for the following diagnoses:
hemorrhoids (stage I - as the main remedy, stage II-III - additional therapy, stage IV - no effect);
- proctitis;
- rectal ulcers;
- anal fissures;
- painful bowel movements;
- radiation injuries.
At stage IV of hemorrhoids, surgical intervention is used due to severe inflammatory processes and other complications. During the recovery period, special therapy is prescribed, including sea buckthorn suppositories.
Composition and release form
The main healing component of candles is sea buckthorn oil. It gives an orange color, fat content and a light aroma. For hardness, manufacturers add wax. Composition of sea buckthorn suppository:
active base;
- fat base;
- polyethylene oxide (6000);
- polyethylene oxide (1500);
- emulsifier.
Suppositories are produced in ordinary cardboard boxes with a volume of 3 to 20 pieces. Each candle is packaged in a separate blister.
Depending on the purpose, the product comes in two types:
- vaginal suppositories (for the treatment of gynecological diseases);
- rectal suppositories (for the treatment of proctological diseases).
Interaction with other drugs
Sea buckthorn suppositories can be used with other drugs in complex therapy, only if these are not other rectal drugs. Otherwise, you may cause an allergic reaction.
Mode of application
Before using the product, consult a doctor. It is he who, after a full examination and based on test results, will prescribe the dosage and duration of therapy.
The instructions state the following recommended dosages for the treatment of hemorrhoids:
- for adults and children over 14 years old – one candle twice a day for 15 days;
- children 6-14 years old - one candle twice a day for 14 days;

After each full and continuous course, a month's break is taken, then, if necessary, it can be repeated.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to cleanse the intestines and thoroughly wash the perineal area with soap. The suppositories are inserted into the anus with a gentle movement; they need to be pushed deeply.
The effect of sea buckthorn oil should not cause discomfort. If immediately after administration you experience unpleasant sensations (itching, swelling, burning), the drug is not suitable for you.
If the procedure is prescribed once a day, then it is best to do it before bed. If twice, then it is worth considering some features of the suppository. Sea buckthorn suppositories completely dissolve within 40 minutes, and absorption of the active substance will take half an hour. Wax as an unnecessary element will “spill out”, so it is recommended to use sanitary pads to protect the linen. After inserting the suppository, it is better to lie down for at least an hour.

Types of suppositories for constipation
Candles for constipation are classified into:
- gas-forming (effective for proctogenic constipation);
- laxatives (increasingly, gynecologists recommend suppositories with lactulose during pregnancy);
- glycerin (have a local effect, softening stool, making it easier to pass). There are several types of glycerin suppositories. The most effective suppositories are “Glycelax” and “Glycerin”. The active substance (glycerin) stimulates peristalsis, having a gentle effect on the walls of the rectum without disturbing the microflora. This remedy is also excellent for treating hemorrhoids.
What is included in candles?
First, let's figure out why the problem of hemorrhoids occurs in the 3rd trimester. The fact is that it is during this period that the uterus becomes larger, its weight puts pressure on the organs surrounding it. The result of this process is poor circulation, which leads to stagnation in the intestines.
As a result of this simple chain, constipation occurs, which provokes hemorrhoids, the risk of which is especially high if the woman was familiar with the problem before. As the name of the product suggests, its main component is sea buckthorn oil. One suppository contains 500 mg. Now it is clear why the drug has a characteristic orange color.
The product is completely natural and contains the following components:
- various vitamins - A, D, PP, C, K;
- minerals;
- fatty acids, etc.
To make rectal suppositories convenient to use, solid fat and glycerol monostearate are added to them.
Why is a preliminary consultation with a doctor so important?
Before using any medicine or folk recipe, you must inform your attending proctologist. Moreover, it is forbidden to treat hemorrhoids on your own, without even visiting a medical institution.
What are the potential dangers of folk remedies:
- have side effects, the impact of which on the body is not fully understood. Home remedies, unlike pharmacological drugs, are not tested in laboratory tests, so their effects may be unpredictable;
- uncontrolled and prolonged use can cause an overdose and even poisoning of the body;
- have a cumulative effect;
- ineffective in the acute period, when it is necessary to relieve acute pain and stop bleeding;
- may mask symptoms and complicate diagnosis;
- do not affect the causes of the disease, but only eliminate the symptoms;
- may interact unpredictably with medications prescribed by your doctor.
Olive oil will not help completely get rid of hemorrhoids. But the product is an effective natural remedy for constipation, which is the basis for quick and successful healing.
How to use
The instructions say that the drug is completely safe for both pregnant and nursing mothers. Do you remember that it is based on natural sea buckthorn oil? Therefore, no negative impact. Can they be used after bowel movements or is it better before bed?
As you wish. The main rule is no more than twice a day. That is, you can insert the product immediately after waking up and still soak in bed for a few minutes, repeat the procedure in the evening before going to bed. Or you can do it after you have a bowel movement.
If you choose the second option, then you do not need to use toilet paper, it is better to rinse the anus with warm water and carefully insert the candle. Be prepared for candles to melt quickly, so it is best to store them in the refrigerator and moisten them with cold water before use.
It's best to enter it like this:
- lie on your side;
- bend your knees;
- Carefully insert the candle as deeply as possible.
All you have to do is be patient and lie down for 20 minutes. The product works well for constipation, but you need to remember that it can stain your laundry, so wear panty liners during the treatment period. The course lasts from 10 to 15 days.
Perhaps the treatment will not bring relief, then a visit to the proctologist is necessary. By the way, you can also buy the product for a repeat course; it is prescribed after a while, if necessary.
