Hemorrhoids and perianal vein thrombosis

Perianal vein thrombosis, also called anal thrombosis, is very painful, especially during defecation. A typical swelling in the area of the anus is caused by a blood clot in the superficial veins.

Anal thrombosis is also called a false hemorrhoid. It can be treated with painkillers, ointments, and surgical evacuation or removal of the thrombosis.

Hemorrhoids, which are also painful as well as itchy and weeping, are inflamed and also often protruding tangles of blood vessels caused by blood stasis in the ring of the anus. Risk factors for hemorrhoids include lack of exercise, poor diet, predominantly sedentary work, constipation, heavy straining during bowel movements, and severe pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are also treatable with painkillers and ointments, or by sclerosing the affected vessel.

The application of sitz baths in the oak bark decoction has also proven to be a supportive naturopathic remedy.

For an oak bark decoction for external use, pour ¼ l of cold water over 2 teaspoons of oak bark from the pharmacy and bring the mixture to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes.

Then strain the decoction and apply it warm, preparing an oak bark sitz bath, which will give you relief from hemorrhoids and other anal discomfort relatively quickly.

There are a number of effective ready-to-use preparations available in pharmacies (for example Tannolact® or Tannosynt®). There you can also get anti-inflammatory creams and ointments with oak bark (for example, from Wala), as well as a so-called Quercus essence.
