Euphorbia Prostrata - A Clinically Proven Drug in Hemorrhoids – Multiple Pharmacological Actions Targeting Pathological Processes
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal disorders. They affect millions of people around the world and represent a major medical & socioeconomic problem. The pathogenesis of hemorrhoids can be explained on the basis of the “sliding anal canal lining theory”. The abnormal dilatation & distortion of the vascular channels, together with destructive changes in the supporting connective tissue within the anal cushion leading to downward displacement of the anal cushion, forms the essence of hemorrhoidal pathogenesis. Bleeding per rectum, anal discharge, itching, pain, feeling of heaviness & discomfort are the most common symptoms of a hemorrhoidal patient. Medical management forms an important part in the treatment of a patient. They are used as a part of conservative management or as an adjuvant to invasive outpatient or surgical procedures. Euphorbia Prostrata (Flavonoids, Phenolic Compounds, Tannins) has been proven to be effective in the management of symptomatic hemorrhoids. It provides excellent relief in symptoms like bleeding per rectum, pain, itching & pruritus, feeling of heaviness & discomfort due to its multiple activities. These pharmacological actions enable the drug to act at every level of the hemorrhoidal pathogenesis to provide quick relief & improve quality of life of the patients.
