Generally, Xiongdan Zhi Ling Ointment is effective for swelling, pain, and bleeding caused by external hemorrhoids. If discomfort persists, timely medical consultation is recommended. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Xiongdan Zhi Ling Ointment is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation. Its main ingredients include bear bile powder, abalone shell (pearl mother), borneol (ice片), and calcined calamine. Bear bile powder has functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving spasms, and alleviating pain; borneol helps clear heat and relieve pain; calamine can detoxify, promote tissue regeneration, facilitate wound healing, and relieve itching; pearl mother aids in drying dampness and promoting wound healing. These ingredients work together to effectively relieve symptoms such as swelling, pain, and bleeding caused by external hemorrhoids. The ointment also has effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and pain, facilitating wound healing, relieving itching, and stopping bleeding, thus preventing local infections.
When using Xiongdan Zhi Ling Ointment, patients should apply it after cleaning the perianal skin and avoid contact with mucous membranes such as the eyes and mouth, as well as broken skin. This product should not be used if there is excessive exudation or obvious erosion on the perianal skin; in such cases, patients should visit a hospital to have their treatment plan adjusted by a physician. Additionally, during the use of Xiongdan Zhi Ling Ointment, patients should maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid consuming spicy, irritating, or excessively greasy foods to prevent interference with the drug's effectiveness or worsening of symptoms.
Patients should also focus on improving lifestyle habits, such as increasing dietary fiber intake, maintaining regular bowel movements, and avoiding prolonged sitting, to reduce pressure and symptoms associated with external hemorrhoids.
