Hemorrhoids

[Tomatomess]

Noooooo
I've had these for years and always managed with ice packs and over the counter remedies. BUT this time I just cannot shift - oh and the itching!! I've never had the itching before. Anybody got any secrets to what they use that works!?

They are horrible. I found nothing worked and I was referred by my GP to the hospital. But while I was waiting I started having baths with Epsom salts and they worked really really well. It cleared up and I cancelled the appointment. Worth a try.

Hydrocortisone cream helped me. You can get products with this ingredients in chemists, you need to check ingredients as only a couple of germaloid/anusol etc products do contain it (will say HC on box) otherwise you can get some prescribed. Really helps to shrink them. If internal you need pessaries and if mainly external a cream or spray. Good luck, it is horrid.
