Hemorrhoids are a disease that very often affects men. And although this disease is not fatal, it can be complicated by various unpleasant factors so much that a person literally stops living and working in peace. Unfortunately, the disease is too intimate and not every representative of the stronger half of humanity rushes to see a doctor, relying on the characteristic Russian “Maybe it will go away on its own.” Such amazing naivety and negligence of men leads to the gradual development of the disease and its frightening complications.
Advanced hemorrhoids are most often treated through surgery, although in the early stages the disease can be easily cured with tablets, ointments or rectal suppositories. Therefore, it is worth coming to an appointment with a proctologist as soon as the first symptoms of the disease are detected, and hemorrhoids will be eliminated in the initial stage of development, without causing much trouble to the patient. It is worth being “savvy” and knowing the distinctive signs of hemorrhoids.
What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids in men?
The disease in men has a standard course. The causes of hemorrhoids are as follows:
- feeling of discomfort and acute pain during bowel movements;
- bleeding from the anus after defecation, minor – at the beginning of the disease, severe – in an advanced stage;
- sensations of burning and itching in the sphincter area;
- sensation of a foreign body in the rectum;
- the appearance of external hemorrhoids around the sphincter.
For a long time, hemorrhoids may not manifest themselves and not alarm a man. Minor sensations of itching and periodic discomfort do not interfere with normal life activities, and the patient does not take any measures. And a false sense of shame stops the patient from going to the proctologist, even if the symptoms become more pronounced.
Unfortunately, ruthless statistics show that when men consult a doctor, hemorrhoids are far from being in their early stages. There are not only hemorrhoids, but also a more serious complication - thrombosis, which is extremely dangerous and gives a man a feeling of unbearable pain.
The principle of action of the tablets
Phytocomplex Hemoroidin is a traditional herbal preparation in tablet form. The use of tablets for hemorrhoids alleviates the main symptoms, namely eliminates itching, burning and pain arising from the formation of symptomatic inflammation, stimulates the natural reaction of tissue repair in the anus, and has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties.
The drug contains the active chemical substance maltodextrin, obtained from the leaves and roots of chicory. In addition to it, its composition includes plant components. These include common juniper, yellow-green mantle, shepherd's purse, dill, field steelweed, whole-leaved white pigweed, gingko biloba, dandelion, flaxseed, acanthophyll thorn, common horehound, water pepper, plantain and white dubrovnik.
The medicinal plant components included in the drug have a beneficial effect on liver cells, heal the digestive tract, and improve blood circulation in the large intestine. Treatment of hemorrhoids with such drugs is very safe and has no contraindications.
A lasting effect of recovery from taking pills for hemorrhoids occurs after 3-6 months. The tablets have no side effects and can be prescribed to pregnant women and elderly people without a prescription.
Litovit-B is another antihemorrhoidal drug containing herbal components. It is recommended for use as an enterosorbent, which normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Effective as a complex with pronounced detoxification, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and restorative characteristics.
Litovit-B contains zeolites - the strongest antioxidants found naturally in aqueous calcium and sodium aluminosilicates. It contains burnet, wheat and rye bran. The use of tablets for hemorrhoids is especially useful in case of increased bleeding, since Litovit-B eliminates the fragility of capillaries, slows down the growth of symptomatic hemorrhoidal nodes and reduces the possibility of negative reactions.
The high effectiveness of tablets for the treatment of hemorrhoids is achieved due to their unique composition. The bran contained in the medicine restores normal intestinal function, softens excrement and contributes to the creation of beneficial microflora in the excretory system.
Venapro is the next effective antihemorrhoidal drug, available in tablets, capsules and as a sublingual spray. Tablets for 5 days can relieve all symptoms of hemorrhoids of any type, including those accompanied by heavy bleeding.
The drug reduces inflammation in the rectum, resolves swollen hemorrhoids and reduces the production of mucus, which causes severe itching.

With the help of VenaPro, you can treat both internal and external hemorrhoids that protrude beyond the walls of the anus. The natural solution VenaPro can effectively regulate intestinal function, eliminate constipation, and reduce dryness in the rectum.
VenaPro is a holistic herbal product with a patented composition, it has no side effects, is an excellent treatment for the disease, and can prevent recurrence of the painful hemorrhoidal condition. The drug should be used with extreme caution during pregnancy and the elderly.
Factors influencing the occurrence and development of hemorrhoids
The main factor causing the development of hemorrhoids is a violation of the digestive process. Frequent constipation causes the formation of hemorrhoids. Proper nutrition, in other words, diet, will help in the fight against constipation. But for men, adjusting their diet is extremely difficult psychologically. Their “devotion” and unfailing love for salty, spicy, deep-fried dishes, sandwiches and fast food is great. There are few vegetarians among men, and there are also few lovers of healthy cereals with milk. Poor nutrition leads to stomach upset – diarrhea or constipation.
One of the common factors causing hemorrhoids in men is sedentary (office) work or heavy lifting.
Addiction to alcohol is also typical for most representatives of the stronger half of humanity. A glass of beer after a working day, wine or vodka on the weekend in order to “relax” are becoming commonplace. Alcohol has an extremely negative effect on the vessels of the pelvic organs, leading to the expansion of their walls and increased blood flow, which is the cause of the growth of hemorrhoids. The more often a man drinks alcohol, the more likely hemorrhoid symptoms will appear.
Heavy physical activity is also typical for most male professions. Loaders and weightlifters are always at risk.
Sedentary lifestyle and office work associated with constant sitting. Drivers, clerks, management positions with constant activity at the computer are at risk. This lifestyle also provokes congestion in the vessels and veins of the male pelvis.
Anal sex. The fact that it is a “prevention of hemorrhoids” is a myth. Most gay people suffer from this disease; moreover, they are at risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Briefly about hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoidal disease is one of the most common benign anorectal pathologies. It usually presents with general symptoms and signs of bleeding, pain, itching, swelling and mucus.
Haemorrhoids
Drug treatment and a high-fiber diet and laxatives are the preferred treatments for grade I-II hemorrhoidal disease, while surgical procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy are reserved for more severe forms of the disease.
Risk factors:
- Aging.
- Obesity.
- Depressed mood.
- Pregnancy.
- Lifting weights
Certain conditions associated with increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as constipation and prolonged pelvic muscle tension, are thought to cause hemorrhoids as a result of impaired venous drainage of the hemorrhoidal plexus.
Poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, including a diet low in dietary fiber, spicy foods and alcohol consumption are associated with the development of this pathological process.
How to treat hemorrhoids in men?
It will be much easier and faster to cure this disease in men if the disease has not had time to develop and the symptomatic picture is simple. But it is worth treating not only the symptoms, but also the cause of the disease. Fortunately, there are quite a few medications for hemorrhoids in men. Therefore, it is advisable to resort to treatment using conservative methods, and in some cases, use traditional medicine recipes. The attending physician, depending on the identified symptoms of hemorrhoids in a man, will prescribe suppositories or ointments to relieve pain. Medical actions will be aimed at eliminating vein pathologies and normalizing blood flow in the pelvic organs, since its disruption is the root cause of hemorrhoidal cones.
If you have pain or itching in the anus, it is recommended to visit a proctologist to avoid complications with hemorrhoids
