Anal fissures, proctalgia, sacrodynia/sacralgia, proctalgia after RTp, in chronic pain in patients who have undergone inguinal hernioplasty (incarceration of the ilioinguinal nerve in the prosthesis), as well as occasional patients with chronic osteoarticular problems. I have also had positive feedback for diabetic peripheral neuritis associated with ulcers (a condition I treat). It could be used in conjunction with other treatments for chronic peripheral pain, including vascular pain, because there is always a neurosensory element to it! This, in a nutshell, is my assessment of Aufimil EPB, which has so much potential that it deserves to be praised and given an honourable mention.

I consider Aufimil EPB to be safe, reliable and effective in controlling pelvic floor dysfunction, from anorectal disorders (fissures, following haemorrhoid surgery and anal fistula) to urogenital congestion and inflammation in IBS.

In my 30 years of professional experience in the field of phlebology, I have encountered a significant number of cases where patients seek help for problems with ‘tired’ and/or ‘aching’ legs. I have been prescribing Aufimil EPB for a few months now and have received positive feedback from patients who have used it. The most notable case was the subjective improvement of a 49-year-old woman who came for a consultation. She had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and, following two months of treatment with Aufimil EPB, was able to enjoy several walks with her husband for the first time in years!

A 75-year-old man with benign prostatic hypertrophy and hypertension treated with specific therapy has had chronic anal fissures with frequent flare-ups for over a year. The colonoscopy and stool parasitological, coprological and mycological examinations were all negative, including faecal calprotectin. Complete healing had not occurred with previous treatments. He completed treatment with Aufimil EPB and a topical cream over a month ago and showed a complete objective response in symptoms. At the moment he is only being treated with probiotics.

I am reporting about a particular case of a patient followed in our outpatient clinic for severe post-radiation ano-proctitis after RDTp, associated with a large anal fissurewith inadequate pain control despite the various types of painkillers prescribed for the case.
Even performing a simple digital examination was difficult. She was prescribed local therapy, hygienic-dietary measures for proper intestinal function, and painkillers. She came back after just five days due to persistent and worsening symptoms, with unresolved constipation-caused by pain-impacting her social and emotional life. I confirmed the ongoing therapy and prescribed AUFIMIL EPB orodispersible tablets, 1 tablet twice a day for 30 days, awaiting feedback.
I did not see the patient again at the clinic, but I came across her in the corridors of the institute during her oncological follow-up.
To my great surprise, she was completely free of pain, and consequently, her clinical condition had improved significantly, with near normalization of intestinal function and a return to all daily activities. She hugged me and thanked me, in her words for the success of the therapy I had prescribed!
