FAQ
Q: What is a hemorrhoid?
A hemorrhoid is a swollen and inflamed vein in the rectum or anus. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or around the opening of the anus (external hemorrhoids). They are a common condition that can affect people of all ages and can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic constipation, pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged sitting or standing.
Hemorrhoids can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, discomfort, itching, bleeding during bowel movements, and a lump or swelling around the anus. These symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the hemorrhoid.
Hemorrhoids can often be managed with lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. Over-the-counter treatments, such as creams, ointments, and suppositories, can also be used to help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, more invasive treatments may be necessary, such as rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or surgery. It's important to speak with a healthcare professional if you experience persistent or severe symptoms of hemorrhoids.
Q: How do I know if I have a hemorrhoid?
The symptoms of hemorrhoids can vary depending on the location and severity of the condition. Here are some common signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of hemorrhoids:
1. Pain or discomfort around the anus: Hemorrhoids can cause a feeling of pain, discomfort, or pressure in the anal region.
2. Itching or irritation: Hemorrhoids may cause itching, irritation, or burning in the anal area.
3. Bleeding during bowel movements: Hemorrhoids can cause small amounts of bright red blood to appear on toilet paper or in the toilet after a bowel movement.
4. Swelling or lumps: External hemorrhoids may cause swelling or lumps around the anus.
5. Leakage of stool: In severe cases, hemorrhoids can cause leakage of stool or fecal incontinence.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine if hemorrhoids are the cause. Other conditions, such as anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal cancer, can also cause similar symptoms, so it's important to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A healthcare professional can perform a physical examination, ask about your symptoms and medical history, and recommend appropriate treatment options based on your individual needs.
Q: What do Major Fast Acting Hemorrhoidal Suppositories - 12 suppositories do?
Major Fast Acting Hemorrhoidal Suppositories is a medication used to treat hemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. Hemorrhoids can cause pain, discomfort, itching, and bleeding.
The active ingredients in Major Fast Acting Hemorrhoidal Suppositories are phenylephrine and hard fat. Phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor, which means it helps to narrow blood vessels and reduce swelling and inflammation. The hard fat that is used in the suppository serves as a base or carrier for the active ingredient, phenylephrine. The hard fat helps to provide a solid and stable structure for the suppository, which makes it easy to insert into the rectum. Additionally, the hard fat may also help to lubricate and protect the affected area, reducing irritation and discomfort.
When inserted into the rectum, the suppositories deliver the active ingredients directly to the affected area. The phenylephrine helps to shrink the swollen veins, reducing pain and discomfort, while the cocoa butter provides a protective and moisturizing barrier to help soothe and heal the affected tissue.
It's important to note that Major Fast Acting Hemorrhoidal Suppositories are intended for short-term use and should not be used for more than one week without the advice of a healthcare professional. They should also be used in conjunction with other measures to help manage hemorrhoids, such as dietary changes, increased water intake, and exercise. If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, it's important to seek medical attention.
Remember, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding your specific situation and any questions you may have.

Most people feel significant relief within 5-15 minutes of insertion as the ingredients take effect. The duration of relief lasts several hours.
