Hemorrhoid suppositories used should lie flat or on their backs

Hemorrhoid suppositories should be used lying flat, not recommended to lie on your back. Because lying flat can keep the body parallel to the bed, while lying on the back cannot ensure that the body is always parallel to the bed, thus making it easy for the hemorrhoid suppository to come out or dissolve unevenly and adequately. It is recommended that in addition to lying flat, patients can also adopt a prone or side-lying position in the bed, which is convenient for patients to administer the medicine themselves and also ensures smooth entry of the hemorrhoid suppositories so as not to cause bleeding. The hemorrhoid suppositories are mainly used for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, mild prolapse, etc. They have the effect of clearing heat and laxity, relieving swelling and pain, and astringency and fixation. Before using hemorrhoid suppositories, patients can take a sitz bath with warm water to promote local blood circulation. After using it, you need to lie prone for about 15 minutes, and after the hemorrhoid suppositories are absorbed by the anal canal, you can move your body or take a self-comfortable position. At the same time, after the hemorrhoid suppositories are administered, the patient may feel self-conscious of bowel movements or anal discomfort, it is recommended to tolerate a little and try not to take a squatting position to avoid the hemorrhoid suppositories from coming out. Drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, avoid sitting and standing for a long time, and keep the bowels open to help improve the symptoms. In addition, if the hemorrhoid is repeatedly bleeding, painful, or even prolapsing for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical removal of the hemorrhoid.
