In the field of modern medicine, the treatment methods for hemorrhoids, a common anorectal disease, are changing with each passing day. Among them, chitosan hemorrhoid gel, as an innovative topical medicine, has occupied an important position in the treatment of hemorrhoids with its unique repairing effect.Chitosan hemorrhoid gel is a biopolysaccharide gel made of chitosan as the main ingredient, supplemented by glycerol, purified water, etc. Chitosan is a natural polymer substance with good biocompatibility, degradability and antibacterial properties, which make it widely used in the medical field. When chitosan is made into a gel form, its water solubility and high molecular gel properties enable it to fit tightly on the surface of hemorrhoids, forming a protective film that effectively isolates external bacteria and promotes wound healing.The unique repairing role of chitosan hemorrhoid gel in the treatment of hemorrhoids is mainly reflected in the following aspects:Hemostasis and promotion of wound healing: Chitosan gel can promote vasoconstriction of surgical wounds or hemorrhoid ruptures through physical coagulation, thereby reducing bleeding. At the same time, it can stimulate the growth of the basal mucosa and accelerate the formation of new epithelium, which is significantly helpful for improving the ischemic and hypoxic state of hemorrhoid wounds and is conducive to the rapid healing of hemorrhoid wounds.Anti-inflammatory and edema reduction: The active ingredients in chitosan gel can inhibit and reduce the synthesis and release of local inflammatory mediators such as bradykinin and prostaglandins, thereby reducing the inflammatory response and edema in the hemorrhoid area. This effect helps to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by hemorrhoids and improve the quality of life of patients.Improve perianal microcirculation: The occurrence of hemorrhoids is often related to perianal microcirculation disorders. Chitosan gel can improve perianal microcirculation, reduce perianal congestion, distension and other discomfort symptoms, and create a good environment for the repair of hemorrhoids.Promote granulation tissue hyperplasia: After hemorrhoid surgery or at the damaged site, there will be incisions of varying degrees around the anus. Chitosan gel can promote the hyperplasia and repair of granulation tissue and accelerate the healing process of the wound.Keep the wound moist and protected: Chitosan gel has good moisturizing properties, can keep the wound moist, and is conducive to the growth and repair of wound cells. At the same time, it can also form a protective barrier to prevent external bacteria from entering the anal canal and rectum, reducing the risk of local infection.In practical applications, chitosan hemorrhoid gel is usually used as an auxiliary treatment for symptoms such as hemorrhoid bleeding, anal swelling, and hemorrhoid prolapse caused by internal hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids. For patients with mild symptoms, the use of chitosan gel according to the doctor's advice can have a better therapeutic effect; for patients with severe symptoms, chitosan gel can be used as an auxiliary treatment drug after surgery to promote wound healing and recovery.In summary, chitosan hemorrhoid gel plays an important role in the treatment of hemorrhoids with its unique repair effect. In the future, with the continuous advancement of medical technology and the in-depth clinical research, the application prospects of chitosan hemorrhoid gel will be broader, bringing good news to more hemorrhoid patients.
