Can you Get Rid of Hemorrhoids With Drugstore Medication?

There are many drugstore and alternative Internet products

for treating hemorrhoids. Most of these products are not

made to cure or eliminate hemorrhoids but to give you

temporary relief of itching, pain, swelling or bleeding. I

don’t recommend using any type of drugstore product that is not

natural for attempting to get rid of hemorrhoids.

If a hemorrhoid product contains petrochemicals, additives, coloring, dyes, or other chemicals, which enhance its appearance and feel, don’t use them. Most, if not all, of these chemicals will be absorbed into your body where your organs of elimination will have to deal with eliminating them. In addition they may irritate your hemorrhoids making it more difficult for you to heal them.

Look at the label before you buy a hemorrhoid product. Check to see what the active ingredient is and how many different additives they have. Avoid those that have a lot of additives or dyes.

All products whether drugs, drugstore medications, or

natural formulations use chemicals, substances, oils, and

herbs that have the following properties:

” Anesthetics – suppresses pain and gives relief…any name with the suffix “caine” like tetracaine

” Analgesics – suppresses and give pain relief – some of them are Anacin, Tylenol with Codeine, OxyContin, Darvocet, Ultracet

” Vasoconstrictors – helps to narrow or constrict hemorrhoidal veins…any name with the suffix “rine” like phenylephrine

” Lubricants – provide lubrication in the colon to relieve constipation – mineral oil, flax seed oil, castor, oil olive oil

” Astringents – help to tighten tissue, which have been pushed out by hemorrhoid action – zinc oxide, witch hazel, calamine

” Keratolytics – help to remove excess hemorrhoidal tissue. They are compounds of sulfur and salicylic acid

Many of the drugstore medications have anesthetics. They

can aggravate and irritate the hemorrhoids you’re trying to

get rid of. If you are using one of these drugstore

medications, consider using a more natural remedy.

In 1975 Carl I. Flath, wrote a book called The Miracle

Nutrient – How Dietary Fiber Can Save Your Life. In

his book he talks about the effectiveness of drugstore

suppositories,

“Suppositories quickly work their way up in the

rectum beyond the location of most internal

hemorrhoids, and so are of limited value in

reducing local pain. As antiseptics they are

essentially worthless, since the surface areas

they are supposed to protect are under

constant exposure to new bacteria….

Anesthetic agents do offer temporary relief from local

irritations and pain… Neither the suppositories nor the

ointments, however, do anything whatever to correct the

basic cause of hemorrhoids-constipation.”

You can get temporary relief for your hemorrhoid condition using drugstore products, but in some cases these products can cause more irritation and discomfort. It is always best to try natural remedies before you move into drugstore products.

You will find a variety of natural remedies that work well on hemorrhoids. But as with many illnesses and body imbalances, natural remedies some times take a little longer to take effect, but not always. You can find a variety of natural remedies to help you get rid of hemorrhoids on the internet or you can look for some of my other articles on hemorrhoids.

Nomenclature of organic compounds. Explain, please?

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31076&l=bee8f75a16&id=100002423378416

Root usually means the class of compound. So all alkanes will end in -ane. Propane, ethane, methane, etc.

All alkenes (double bond) will end in -ene. Propene, ethene, etc.

All triple bonded compounds (alkynes) will end in -yne, such as propyne.

It seems a bit confusing to put root in indicating the chain length. But it comes down to memorizing the word with the number of carbons. Eth- means 2 carbons, Prop- means three carbons.

So putting together two “roots” and propane means an alkane of three carbon atoms.

Now about prefix. That is something you put in front of the name. So take a three carbon alkane, and add a chlorine atom. It can be called chloropropane if the chlorine is on the end carbon. But what if it is on the middle carbon? Then, you would name it 2-Chloropropane, with the 2 being the location on the chain.

What may be confusing is the suffix, as it seems unclear from what I read.

That comes down to what I would term roots, like -ol meaning an alcohol. It is systematic, so the presence of a ketone means the name ends in -one.

So take a four carbon compound, put a chlorine on one carbon, and an -OH (alcohol) on another. If the alcohol is on the end carbon, and the chlorine on the opposite end, then the name would be 4-Chlorobutanol. (I would never use the name ethan-1-ol in your example, as it is redundant, since there is no other place the alcohol could be.)

Your example might want to name it 4-Chlorobutan-1-ol, but that becomes awkward, and 4-Chlorobutanol implies where the alcohol OH is located.

But take the four carbon chlorinated alcohol. And put the -OH on the second carbon atom. Then, if the chlorine is on the far end carbon, the name would be 4-Chlorobutan-2-ol.
