What can you do about hemorrhoid pain?

Answer by  johnresa (2455)

The first thing you should do for hemorrhoid pain is not to sit on your rear for any extended periods of time. You should take a painkiller and apply some ice to the area. Another thing you can do is buy some suppositories and keep them in the freezer. They will ease the pain when inserted gently.

There are hemorrhoid creams on the market that are supposed to shrink hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids hurt because they are swollen. Sometimes soaking in a bathtub of very warm water will give relief.

There are a few treatments for hemorroid pain. You can buy over the counter medicine like Preparation H to help relieve the pain. You can also take warm sitz baths to try and relieve pain as well. But for the more severe cases a hemorrhoidectomy may have to be the final treatment.

Hemorrhoid pain is most commonly treated with creams, such as "Preparation H." In severe cases, a doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory, such as Prednisone.
