This bacterium is a natural inhabitant of the intestinal microflora and lives in the lower part of the organ. Most of its strains are harmless and even prove useful by performing the following functions:

The most well-known strain is Escherichia coli, which is widely used in medicine as a probiotic in situations when the balance of the natural microflora is disturbed. Now this culture of bacteria is most in demand in medicine and it is used as an active component of Posterisan. Synthetically modified cultures of Asherichia Kolya are used as raw materials for vaccines.

    Regenerating. Pathological processes in the anal area are caused by inflammatory, allergic and other factors, which leads to tissue and vascular damage. Regular application of ointment allows you to speed up cell renewal and eliminate mechanical damage.
    Immunostimulating. After contact with the intestinal mucosa, the culture of bacteria helps to stimulate the immune system and increase the activity of leukocytes. At the site of application, Aysherichia Kolya contributes to the formation of antibodies and the enhancement of local tissue resistance to pathogens.
    Anti-inflammatory. The drug helps to reduce exudation in the area of ​​application, has a positive effect on the permeability and tone of blood vessels.

Thus, when administered rectally, the agent contributes to the enhancement of both specific and non-specific immunity. This helps to prevent the appearance of superinfection and increase the defenses against pathogens. The instructions to the ointment Posterisan forte are hydrocortisone, an additional component, which enhances the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect.

Expert opinion

Igor, proctologist
I work as a proctologist for 20 years. The main category of my patients is people older than 50. Half of the complaints are hemorrhoidal problems due to age-related weakness of the vessels, the other half are anal fissures and inflammation as a result of a violation of the stool (constipation or diarrhea). Without eliminating the root cause, the problem will constantly return, but it is desirable to remove symptoms from patients as soon as possible, as it reduces their quality of life. After the appointment of Posterisan and Posterisan Forte ointments, the responses of people were only positive. The benefits of drugs - no side effects and natural stimulation of the regeneration of the mucous. I can safely prescribe ointment for both older patients and younger people.

Reviews

Irina
Problems with hemorrhoids have arisen during pregnancy. The doctor said that according to reviews of other patients, one of the best means - Posterisan. I chose the shape of the candles, as the hemorrhoids were internal. Now I use the tool courses several times a year to prevent exacerbation and pain.
Oleg
I am an athlete in the past, so hemorrhoids earned at a fairly early age. I have chronic inflammation and bloating of the nodes; it is already difficult to get rid of it. Posterisan advised the pharmacy. Now I use only this ointment - it removes unpleasant symptoms well and is suitable for prolonged use, as it is absolutely safe.
Evaluation of the drug on various forums - five stars. People have noted such advantages as the effectiveness of the remedy, the naturalness of the composition, the absence of side effects and the ability to combine with other drugs.
The presence of a special applicator is also a positive thing, since external hemorrhoids are often combined with internal ones. For pregnant women Posterisan turns out to be the best choice and helps to wait for the period when it will be possible to use more potent drugs.
