Medicinal Benefits

Spear Ointment is a skin ointment that has anaesthetic and pain-numbing properties. It contains Cinchocaine hydrochloride and policresulen. Spear Ointment is used to relieve the pain, discomfort and itchiness associated with anal fissure and haemorrhoids (piles). Cinchocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that blocks the transmission of impulses across nerves, thereby easing the sensation of pain. It inactivates the sodium channels in the nerve cell membrane, thereby preventing the sodium-induced activation of the cell and precluding any transmission of nerve impulses that produce the sensation of pain. Policresulen functions as an antiseptic and haemostatic agent by virtue of its bacteria and fungus-killing nature and helps arrest bleeding. Spear Ointment is hence used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids.

Practising personal hygiene is also very effective in preventing anal infections and haemorrhoids.
Practise safe, vaginal sex.
A fibre-rich diet is very helpful in ensuring normal bowel movements and preventing haemorrhoids. Whole-grain foods, fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole-wheat bread and pasta are rich in fibre.

Exercising for 30 minutes every day can be very beneficial in staying fit and preventing the occurrence of piles. You may even break down your daily exercise regimen into bit-sized workouts or activities of 10 minutes each.
Avoid smoking as this can hamper wound healing.
