How annoying it is when a seemingly minor bruise leaves behind a huge bruise. And the pain still does not subside, making it difficult to do the usual things. Special ointments come to the rescue, which will quickly relieve pain and swelling.

A bruise is a closed soft tissue injury without significant damage to them. A bruise can be obtained as a result of a blow or a fall, and its signs will be:

pain;
swelling;
bruising (occurs not always)¹.

In the first minutes, a feeling of severe pain is possible, which should gradually subside. However, after some time, swelling or even bruising appears at the site of the bruise, which can persist for several days.

Properly rendered first aid after receiving a bruise is extremely important, as it helps to prevent inflammation. In the first minutes and the next 2 days, cold must be applied to the injured area. It can be a heating pad or a bottle of cold water, an ice pack wrapped in a towel, etc. On the 3rd day, warm dry compresses are already applied to the site of injury.

If the bruise is accompanied by a feeling of pain, then specialized creams, ointments or gels will come to the rescue.

All the variety of funds from this category is divided according to their properties:

Cooling. They are used as first aid to prevent hematomas and relieve pain;
Warming up. Drugs from this category are used 8 hours after the bruise is received to reduce the resulting hematoma or bruise;
Anti-inflammatory. Remove puffiness and inflammation.
Decongestant and absorbable. Reduce swelling, promote resorption of hematomas formed.

How to choose an ointment for bruises with an anesthetic effect

First of all, you need to understand that bruises come in varying degrees of severity.

The first degree is a mild injury with little or no abrasions and scratches, which causes little pain, does not require specialized care, and heals on its own in a few days.
Second degree – in this case, there is damage to soft tissues, swelling, hematomas. It is advisable to use specialized drugs for a speedy recovery.
The third degree is characterized by damage not only to soft tissues, but also to muscles and tendons. Often, a bruise is accompanied by a dislocation, so medical attention is required.
The fourth degree is the most serious. At the site of the bruise, a strong edema is formed, the work of the internal organs is disrupted. In this case, treatment in a hospital under the supervision of specialists is required.

Thus, the choice of drug treatment will directly depend on the degree of the injury and its consequences.

If, at first glance, the bruise is not serious, and you started treatment on your own, but after 10 days you do not see positive dynamics, you should consult a doctor. The specialist will collect an anamnesis, examine the site of injury and select further effective therapy.

Reviews of doctors about ointments for bruises with analgesic effect

Pharmaceutical companies today offer a fairly large selection of ointments, aerosols, or gels. For the right choice, it is enough to remember that they are of 2 types: neutral painkillers and ointments of an irritating nature (warming, cooling, based on poisons and peppers)

Neutral ointments (painkillers) are used in the first 5 days after the bruise to relieve discomfort, severe swelling and pain. With minor bruises and sprains, ointments of these types make life much easier for patients.

Ointments of an irritating nature are recommended to be used 5 days after the injury, as they help speed up the healing process by locally improving blood circulation.
