These days’ haemorrhoidal complaints are very widespread. Three-fourths of all citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany suffer from these afflictions indicating that hemorrhoids may be counted among the national i1lnesses. Bad habits in nutrition and the lack of exercise in modern society contribute to the formation of hemorrhoids. Further factors such as chronic inflammatory processes in the anal area, an innate weakness of the connective tissue as well as tumors and congestion support the formation of hemorrhoids. Several factors indicate the occurrence of hemorrhoids:

According to Stelzner, haemorrhoidal formation is a hyperplasia of the “Corpus carvernosum recti“, a cavernous body, which plays an important role in the occlusion mechanism of the anal area. It has been shown by blood gas analysis that this cavernous body is fed arterially. These examinations showed an oxygen saturation of the blood of approximately 97 %, which corresponds to the data of the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Therefore, the often-used division into inner and external hemorrhoids is doubtful. In reality there is one and the same pathological process during different developmental stages. These pathophysiological processes of haemorrhoidal complaints are divided into four different phases. This division is correlated to a c1inica1 significance to determine from where to direct hemorrhoidal therapy.

The examination indicates that MUCOKEHL uvulas show distinctive local effects in haemorrhoidal complaints. Pains in the anal area hint to a beginning venous stasis and inflammation and therefore offer an indication for MUCOKEHL suppositories. These suppositories reduce the local symptoms such as pains, inflammations and bleeding definitely and profoundly. Possible antiphologistic characteristics of the suppositories could represent a mechanism of the effectiveness. In contrast to different authors it could be proved that 80% of the patients in this study suffer from constipation. Many patients with symptomatic complaints can successfully be treated by a conservative therapy, whereby clinical interventions such as hemorrhoidectomy, anal dila, rubber-band ligation and sclerotherapy can be prevented; especially as such interventions do not yield a lasting success. The results of this study show that a simple local therapy of hemorrhoids with the isopathic medicament MUCOKEHL 3X as suppository is able to cause a significant improvement of local symptoms. Therefore the administration of massively efficacious medicaments such as glucocorticoids or antibiotics is unnecessary. This initial clinical experience with the MUCOKEHL 3X suppositories now recorded could further be precised within an open study. Besides the measures already mentioned the haemorrhoidal patient can contribute to a reduction of his complaints to a minimum by a healthy way of life. In this connection one especially has to look to a careful anal hygiene. By changing nutrition an easy defecation can be caused and therefore an improvement regarding the symptoms of bleedings can also be achieved.
