Indications for the use of suppositories with propolis from hemorrhoids
Suppositories with propolis can significantly improve the condition of the patient with hemorrhoids, regardless of the stage of the disease. For example, during acute inflammation, propolis eliminates the swelling of the anal area and reduces the size of the venous nodes. The use of suppositories is guaranteed to relieve pain, a burning sensation and itching, makes the act of defecation more comfortable.
One of the properties of propolis is the dilution of blood. Due to this property, the filling of the nodes decreases, the pressure on the vessels decreases.
The wound healing capacity of the drug is manifested when the walls of dilated vessels are damaged, which is usually accompanied by bleeding.
Suppositories with propolis can be prescribed by a doctor:

In addition to all stages of hemorrhoids, the suppository is prescribed for prostatitis, prostate adenoma, weakened erectile function, for pelvic adhesions, urethritis, cystourethritis, proctitis, enterocolitis, salpingoophoritis, with vaginosis and erosive processes in the cervix.
