Can Ma Ying Long hemorrhoid suppositories be used for a long time?
I have been using Ma Ying Long Hemorrhoid Suppositories for a while. Today, after I told my friend about it, he said that they shouldn't be used for a prolonged period. Is that true? Can Ma Ying Long Hemorrhoid Suppositories be used long-term?
Long-term use of Mayinglong Hemorrhoids Suppository is not recommended, for the following reasons:
1. Mayinglong Hemorrhoids Suppository has effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and stopping bleeding while promoting tissue regeneration. Short-term use can effectively alleviate symptoms caused by hemorrhoids, such as pain, itching, and bleeding.
2. Prolonged dependency on its use may lead to thinning of the local anal skin, increased sensitivity, and even cause perianal skin dryness and fissures. Additionally, long-term use of the same medication may lead to drug resistance, reducing its effectiveness.
3. The suppository contains ingredients such as artificial musk, borneol, and artificial bezoar, which are considered orifice-opening medicinal materials. Long-term use may deplete the body's vital energy (zheng qi). Especially for women, prolonged use may cause cold body constitution, menstrual disorders, and other adverse effects; for men, it may impair yang energy.
4. Mayinglong Hemorrhoids Suppository may also cause some side effects, such as dry mouth, constipation, dry skin, and blurred vision. Long-term use could even potentially lead to more serious health problems, such as infertility.
Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids should use medications rationally under the guidance of healthcare professionals and avoid long-term dependency on a single medication. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a healthy diet, consume more fiber-rich foods, maintain regular bowel movements, and avoid不良 habits such as prolonged sitting or excessive straining during bowel movements, in order to reduce the occurrence and progression of hemorrhoids.
