An anal thrombosis describes a swelling in the area of the anus caused by a blood clot. This blood clot consists of venous blood and usually causes very severe pain. Depending on its position, the analthrombosis can be visible as a dark red knot and is partially palpable.
Various ointments are available for the treatment of an analthrombosis. These primarily include analgesic ointments and anticoagulants. The ointments should always be used according to the package insert. If anything is unclear, consultation with a specialist in proctology is recommended.
Ointments against an analthrombosis
The following ointments can be used against anathrombosis:
- Voltaren ointment
- Heparin Ointment
- Lidocaine Ointment
- Diclofenac Ointment
- Cortisone ointment
- Bepanthen Ointment
- Posterisan® Ointment
In case of an analthrombosis, the application of a Voltaren ointment may be useful. This ointment contains a painkiller from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs known as diclofenac. This drug relieves pain by fighting inflammatory processes.
When the ointment is applied, a local painful reaction may initially occur, but this usually lasts only for a few minutes.
- Voltaren ointment can be used up to three times a day for a maximum of five days in the event of an anticonvulsant thrombosis.
The application of a heparin ointment is well suited to contribute to the relief of an analthrombosis. Heparin has an inhibitory effect on blood clotting and is therefore very effective in an area of a blood clot.
Ointments containing 6,000 IU heparin are recommended for use. The order is given by a doctor. The heparin ointment can be applied after the bowel movement and corresponding cleaning.
A gauze pad with the Heparin ointment can also be used overnight.
- It is important to clarify possible existing coagulation diseases before applying the ointment.
An ointment containing diclofenac can be used to alleviate the pain of an anal thrombosis. The corresponding preparation is Voltaren Ointment, which contains the non-steroidal anti-rheumatic drug Diclofenac as the active ingredient.
This analgesic has a reducing effect on existing pain for several hours and at the same time provides for local decongestant.
- The application can be done up to three times a day, but should not exceed a period of three to five days.
The use of a lidocaine ointment in the case of an analthrombosis also serves to relieve pain. Lidocaine is an anaesthetic, which in its dosage form as an ointment has a local anaesthetic effect.
This suppresses the transmission of the pain stimulus and the anointed area remains pain-free for some time.
- Lidocaine ointment is applied three times a day. A frequently used preparation is the Posterisan® Ointment. Alternatively, the active ingredient quinisocaine can also be used.
