Relief during pregnancy

Relief during pregnancy is prescribed for many women. Consider the therapeutic properties of the medication, indications and contraindications, dosage and method of administration, possible side effects and other features that the expectant mother should know.

One of the most effective and sought-after remedies for hemorrhoids is Relief. Hemorrhoids are a problem that a woman can face both during childbearing and after childbirth.

The appearance of the disease is associated with the physiological changes occurring in the female body during gestation. Because of the ever-growing uterus, all organs and systems feel uncomfortable, squeezing is directed to the vessels of the pelvic organs. As a result of high intraperitoneal pressure, the rectum is exposed to the rectum. Hemorrhoids appear due to a violation of the outflow of blood from the pelvic organs, which leads to an overflow of blood veins in the anus. The walls lose elasticity, inflammation and bleeding occur. Pregnant feels strong discomfort and painful sensations.

Hemorrhoids during pregnancy can appear due to chronic constipation. In the future mother, constipation begins from the first days of gestation due to hormonal changes in the body. In turn, constipation can lead to the appearance of hemorrhoids. The severity of pathology depends on the individual characteristics of the organism of the pregnant woman and the state of the venous system. Because the disease is painful enough, women are trying to solve this problem on their own. But the appointment of treatment should only a doctor who will choose an effective and safe for the body of a pregnant drug.

Relief has hemostatic and decongestant properties. This allows us to normalize the relationship between the influx and flow of blood to the hemorrhoids. The active ingredients are shark liver oil and phenylephrine. The medicine has several forms of release, so each woman will be able to pick up a drug, depending on the form and severity of the disease.

Form of issue

The form of release is an ointment and rectal suppositories. Various pharmacological forms: suppository and ointment Relief, suppository Relief Advance, suppository Relief Ultra, allow you to choose the ideal remedy for hemorrhoid treatment. During the gestation of a child, Relief, like ointment and suppositories, is allowed. If hemorrhoids or cracks in the rectum cause severe itching and burning, the doctor can prescribe Relief Advance, since it has antipruritic and analgesic properties, but does not penetrate the systemic bloodstream. But Relief Ultra is contraindicated for future mothers, since the composition of the drug includes a hormonal substance - hydrocortisone. This substance has a negative effect on pregnancy.

When using any medications during the gestational period, it is necessary to understand that the woman's body is particularly sensitive, as hormonal changes occur. Because of this, there may be various individual reactions to the active substances of medicaments. Therefore, if any uncomfortable phenomena appear, stop using the medication. In this case, rectal suppositories can not always be used during the period of gestation, but liniment is a safer form.

Can Relief be Pregnant?

Can Relief be in pregnancy - a question that many women ask, faced with hemorrhoids or fissures of the anus in the period of gestation. It has a wide range of remedies: rectal suppository and Relief ointment, rectal suppository Relief Advance and suppositories Relief Ultra. All drugs are equally effective, because they have shark liver oil in their composition, which has antipruritic, immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect. The remaining components of the drug are different.

• For example, the composition of liniment and suppositories Relief includes the substance phenylephrine, which, according to the principle of action, is similar to adrenaline. The substance sharply narrows the blood vessels, which leads to the elimination of swelling, reducing pain, itching and bleeding. Despite its effectiveness, phenylephrine is rapidly absorbed by the rectum and enters the bloodstream, so it may have a general vasoconstrictive effect on the body. Because of this, pregnant women can have jumps in blood pressure and even heart rhythm disturbances.
• Suppositories and Relief Advance ointment contain shark liver oil and anesthetic benzocaine. Benzocaine is not absorbed into the bloodstream, so it is allowed during the bearing of a child with severe itching and pain.
• Relief Ultra contains zinc and hydrocortisone. Both candles and liniment quickly eliminate inflammation, pain, swelling and itching. But it is contraindicated, since active substances can cause numerous violations in the female body, which will negatively affect the growth and development of the fetus.

Proceeding from this, only the attending physician can prescribe Relief during pregnancy. The doctor selects the medicine according to each specific case. By the way, the instruction says that it is necessary to use it during the bearing of the child with extreme caution, and only if the potential benefit to the mother is higher than the risk to the fetus.
