SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF BUCKWHEAT IN THE COMPOSITION OF PHYTOSUPPOSITORIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF HEMORRHOIDS

Аннотация

Hemorrhoids are among the most common diseases of the rectum and anal canal. According to the World Health Organization, 10–15% of the adult population suffers from various forms of hemorrhoids, and among patients over 50 years old, this figure reaches 50–70%. The disease significantly reduces quality of life, being accompanied by pain, inflammation, itching, bleeding, and impaired normal functioning. In my work, I aimed to find a safer and more effective remedy. I chose phytosuppositories, since plant-based raw materials combine availability, low toxicity, and a complex therapeutic effect. Buckwheat, due to its rutin and flavonoid content, strengthens blood vessels and reduces inflammation. In combination with calendula, plantain, oak bark, and sea buckthorn oil, I obtained a preparation with pronounced wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effects.
