Macong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment is a commonly used topical medication for treating hemorrhoids, and its method of application is straightforward. It is important to note that this product is for external use only and must not be taken orally. The specific steps for application are as follows: 1. Clean the affected area: Before application, wash the anus and surrounding skin with warm water or mild salt water, and ensure the area is clean and dry. 2. Apply the ointment: For external hemorrhoids, apply an appropriate amount of Macong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment directly onto the hemorrhoid outside the anus. For internal or mixed hemorrhoids, gently squeeze the ointment into the rectum using the provided narrow tube, and also apply some ointment around the anal area. 3. Frequency of use: Generally, it is recommended to use the ointment one to two times daily, although the frequency may be adjusted according to the severity of the condition and the advice of a physician. 4. Precautions: Wash hands after application to avoid contact of the ointment with mucous membranes such as the eyes and mouth. Maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, and refrain from eating spicy, greasy, or irritating foods to ensure regular bowel movements. 5. Special populations: Pregnant women should use cautiously or follow medical advice. Children, nursing mothers, and elderly or frail individuals should use under the guidance of a physician.
