Suppositories with propolis for hemorrhoids are one of the most popular remedies. These candles are sold in pharmacies, but they can also be made at home. Hemorrhoids are a widespread disease associated with the expansion of varicose bodies located in the end of the rectum, which leads to the formation of hemorrhoids. The question of how to treat it using effective and at the same time safe drugs is very relevant.
Suppositories Propolis-DN are among the most popular anti-hemorrhoids.
Propolis for hemorrhoids: mechanism of action
Propolis, or bee glue, is a biologically unique substance that contains dozens of trace elements and vitamins.
This beekeeping product has a multifaceted beneficial effect on the body. In particular, the effective treatment of hemorrhoids with propolis is associated with the following therapeutic effects:
- Antimicrobial. The composition of propolis includes biologically active substances that have a detrimental effect on pathogenic microflora (bacteria, viruses, fungi).
- Anesthetic. Some components of propolis act on nerve endings in a similar way to analgesics. Thanks to this, propolis preparations can relieve pain, itching, burning when applied topically.
- Regenerating. The biologically active substances that make up propolis contribute to the speedy healing and restoration of damaged tissues.
- Cleaning. Propolis helps to remove dead cells from the ulcerated surface of hemorrhoids.
- Anti-cancer. Propolis has a pronounced antioxidant effect. It neutralizes lipid peroxidation products and free radicals, which are formed in large quantities in the foci of inflammation and damage not only membranes, but also cell nuclei.
- Immunomodulatory. Strengthens local immunity, thereby reducing the activity of inflammation.
- Aperient. Propolis suppositories stimulate rectal motility, thus providing soft daily stools.
Propolis for hemorrhoids has the following effect:
- suppresses inflammation in hemorrhoids and surrounding soft tissues;
- improves venous outflow;
- reduces puffiness;
- eliminates soreness, burning, itching in the anus - the most common symptoms of hemorrhoids;
- reduces bleeding hemorrhoids.
Propolis is a natural substance that does not have a negative effect on the human body. Therefore, propolis candles can be used for children, pregnant and lactating women. However, these categories of patients, as well as those suffering from allergies, should still consult a doctor before starting therapy.
Propolis is a natural product produced by bees and contains vitamins and minerals.
Instructions for use
In order for the treatment of hemorrhoids with suppositories with propolis to be as effective as possible, you should carefully follow the instructions for their use.
Before using rectal suppositories, you must empty the intestines. If you can't do this on your own, then you can give a laxative enema. After defecation, wash with running water and soap and thoroughly dry the crotch area with a soft towel.
The patient lies on his left side, pulling his knees to his stomach or back, bending his legs at the hip and knee joints and spreading them to the sides. The suppository is released from the package and carefully inserted into the anus so that it is completely hidden behind the external sphincter. To prevent spontaneous defecation, after the introduction of a rectal suppository, you should remain in a horizontal position for at least 25-30 minutes. It is most convenient to use candles in the evening, before going to bed.
For external hemorrhoids and / or anal fissures, propolis ointment can be used instead of rectal suppositories. In this case, after a thorough toilet of the anogenital area, a gauze napkin, abundantly saturated with ointment, is applied to the anus and left for several hours.
The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor.
Possible side effects and contraindications

- irritation of the mucous membrane;
- increased itching;
- increased discomfort.
Suppositories with propolis are contraindicated for patients with hypersensitivity to any beekeeping products.

How to make propolis candles at home
You can not only buy propolis candles at the pharmacy, but also, if you wish, make yourself at home using one of the recipes below.
Candles with propolis are easy to make yourself
Recipe 1
To prepare candles you need:
- propolis - 40 g;
- medical alcohol 70% - 200 ml;
- lanolin (sold at the pharmacy) or melted animal fat - 200 ml.
First of all, you should prepare an alcoholic tincture of propolis. To do this, propolis is crushed and poured with alcohol. Insist in a dark place for 10-15 days, occasionally shaking the bottle. Strain before use.
The tincture is poured into a saucepan with a thick bottom and cooked over low heat until the alcohol evaporates. The resulting dark liquid is added to lanolin or fat previously melted in a water bath, mixed thoroughly.
Molds are formed from foil for future candles. The resulting mass is poured into them and placed in the refrigerator until it solidifies. Then each candle is wrapped in wax paper, folded into a clean bag and stored on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Recipe 2
Put 150 g of lanolin or any animal fat (goat, lamb), 50 g of beeswax and 50 g of propolis in a cup. Heat the resulting mixture in a water bath, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are completely dissolved. Pour into prepared molds. Store wrapped in wax paper in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator.
Recipe 3
In a water bath, dissolve 80 g of medical petroleum jelly and beeswax, 50 g of cocoa butter or lanolin. To the resulting mixture add 20 ml of an aqueous (not alcoholic!) Propolis extract. Mix thoroughly and pour into molds. Candles are stored in the refrigerator in a carefully sealed container.
