Radiotherapy or radiation therapy is one of the methods of destroying tumors in the pelvic area. It is a treatment that completely exhausts the human body, so a long cycle of procedures is often accompanied by complications. One of the most common complications is inflammation, proctitis in men and vaginitis in women.
Signs of rectal inflammation
Proctitis is an inflammation of the rectum and anus, which can be caused by many different causes (infectious, immune, physical, chemical or other), and the inflammation itself is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The main features of proctitis are: frequent or constant urge to defecate, constipation, a feeling of weakness in the rectum, abdominal pain, defecation with blood or mucus, soreness or itching of the anus. Proctitis is more dangerous when the person has hemorrhoids or tears in the anus. Usually, the patient is treated with antibiotics, painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Mucosamin Rectal Gel for the treatment of proctitis
Mucosamin Rectal Gel is a medical device whose main purpose is to protect the rectal mucosa. It is a liquid gel contained in microenemas, consisting of hyaluronic acid, the main component of connective tissue, and amino acids that promote the formation of collagen. Collagen promotes the healing processes of the rectal mucosa and anal canal, and also reduces pain caused by proctitis, which occurs as a result of radiotherapy/chemotherapy in the treatment of pelvic tumors.
Mucosamin Rectal Gel provides a protective layer for reddened or inflamed mucosa, which is characterized by burning pain of varying intensity, reduces pain and burning sensation. Hyaluronic acid and amino acids promote collagen and epithelium regeneration and healing of the entire mucosa. Thanks to the convenient packaging, the gel is easily used for the treatment of rectal mucosa inflammation and for stopping mucosal trophism in order to prevent recurrence and occurrence of the disease.
Signs of inflammation of the vaginal mucosa
Vaginitis, sometimes also known as vulvovaginitis (as it involves the mucous membrane of the external and internal female genitalia), is an inflammation of the vagina. Like proctitis, vaginal inflammation can be caused by a variety of causes – bacteria, viruses, infections, etc. The inflammation is manifested by itching, burning and increased, thickened discharge, which can emit an unpleasant odor due to an increased number of bacteria in the mucosa (relevant when vaginitis is caused by bacteria). Radiotherapy can become a cause of vaginitis, because during this treatment the mucous membrane of the genitals dries out, causing a woman to feel uncomfortable.
Mucosamin Vaginal Cream for the treatment of vaginitis
Mucosamin Vaginal Cream is intended for the treatment of vulvovaginitis, when it develops as a result of radiotherapy/chemotherapy for pelvic tumors. The product is used in women after surgery and radiation therapy to prevent the development of vaginal inflammation. Mucosamin vaginal cream contains hyaluronic acid and amino acids that promote the restoration and growth of epithelial and collagen tissues, healing the mucosa. The cream restores mucosal moisture, optimally reducing the severity and progression of inflammation symptoms.
Mucosamin – for the prevention and treatment of radiotherapy complications
Mucosamin products can be used to prevent complications after radiotherapy treatment. Preventive measures are valuable because they allow you to continue and not delay treatment. The active ingredients of Rectal Gel and Vaginal Cream are hyaluronic acid and collagen amino acids. Hyaluronic acid promotes tissue repair and provides comfort to dry skin after treatment, while amino acids promote collagen formation.
Collagen is one of the most important components of our skin. This substance is responsible for regeneration, elasticity and cell strength. The amino acids contained in Mucosamin products promote wound healing and the formation of the extracellular matrix. Products enriched with these substances moisturize and soothe the skin.
