Is it effective to use Xiongdan Zhiling suppository for bleeding internal hemorrhoids?

Generally speaking, the effectiveness of Xiongdan Zhiling Suppository in treating bleeding internal hemorrhoids mainly depends on the severity of the condition. If the symptoms of internal hemorrhoid bleeding are mild, it is usually effective; however, if there is severe bleeding from internal hemorrhoids, it may be difficult to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. A detailed analysis is as follows:

The main ingredients of Xiongdan Zhiling Suppository include powdered bear bile, borneol, and calcined炉甘石 (lucina calcinata), among others. Among these, powdered bear bile serves as the principal ingredient and has significant hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects, effectively alleviating symptoms of bleeding and swelling pain caused by internal hemorrhoids. Borneol and calcined lucina calcinata can enhance the hemostatic effect and promote wound healing. Therefore, for patients with mild symptoms of internal hemorrhoid bleeding, Xiongdan Zhiling Suppository can exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and hemostatic effects.

Bleeding from internal hemorrhoids may be accompanied by other anorectal diseases, such as anal fissures or perianal abscesses, and these complex conditions may affect the therapeutic efficacy of Xiongdan Zhiling Suppository. Additionally, for patients with severe internal hemorrhoid bleeding, relying solely on Xiongdan Zhiling Suppository may not achieve the desired hemostatic outcome. In such cases, additional treatments may be necessary. Under the guidance of a physician, other medications such as chlorhexidine acetate hemorrhoid suppositories, compound laminaria ester cream, or Yunnan Baiyao hemorrhoid ointment can be used for treatment.

If symptoms of internal hemorrhoid bleeding persist or worsen, timely consultation at the proctology department of a regular hospital is recommended to obtain a more appropriate treatment plan.
