Can Ma Ying Long Hemorrhoid Ointment be used during breastfeeding?

Ma Ying Long Hemorrhoid Ointment is not recommended for use during breastfeeding. Alternatively, warm physiological saline may be used for local fumigation and sitz baths, or Taining Hemorrhoid Suppositories and rectal suppositories may be considered. Breastfeeding is a special physiological period; therefore, medication should be minimized, and only drugs with minimal risk to the infant should be used, if necessary. Additionally, lifestyle adjustments are essential: avoid spicy and irritating foods, ensure adequate rest, prevent fatigue, and prevent constipation by maintaining regular, soft bowel movements.

With the above treatment measures, hemorrhoidal symptoms can be fully alleviated. However, if hemorrhoids become severe and intolerable, temporary cessation of breastfeeding—followed by timely surgical intervention or other appropriate pharmacological treatments—may be considered. While using Ma Ying Long Hemorrhoid Ointment during breastfeeding is not absolutely contraindicated, it should only be done under strict medical supervision, as its safety in this context is not guaranteed.

In daily life, maintain a regular, balanced diet—avoid spicy, stimulating, or excessively rich foods, refrain from overeating, and avoid staying up late. We hope this information is helpful to you.
