Question 1

hoe long does it take anucort to start working

Accepted Answer

Anucort: Anucort is a steroid medication (hydrocortisone) used to for itching and swelling associated with hemorrhoids. When applied as a cream 2-3 times daily, it can have an effect after the first topical application or it may take up to a week to notice any difference. Some do not respond at all and it is dependent on the neture of the hemorrhoid, how long you had it, and the amount of swelling.

Question 2

have internal hemorrhoid that's comin out will anucort suppositories help or prep h wipes & ointment be best. was on med that caused constipation ?

Accepted Answer

Avoid constipation: should avoid meds that cause constipation. also do warm sits bath 3 times a day for 10 days, and apply hemorrhoid cream after each bath, suppositories don't help much. High fiber diet is also beneficial.

Question 3

i had 5 hours of dark brown discharge instead of a period. i have been on minastrin for 3 mos but i took anucort-hc for 8 days 2 wks ago. pregnant??

Accepted Answer

Chance U R pregnant?: Wouldn't hazard a guess, but if you could be pregnant then at least check a home pregnancy test. If negative, then a Gynecology exam next should address your concern.

Question 4

takin anucort supp for int hemorrhoid on day 2. how long before it helps with bleeding and pain? drinking more water stopped sodas and taking dulcolax

Accepted Answer

Soaking helps: Soaking in a plain water bath can help you feel better faster.  If each day is not improving, you should follow up with your doctor that diagnosed the internal hemorrhoid.

Question 5

can a pregnant woman use anucort-hc suppository 25 mg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: most hemorrhoids preperations whether cream, suppositories or foam are in general very safe and in my practice I use a variety of them depending on what insurance will cover.

Question 6

using anucort for hemorrhoid bt after placing supp feel urge to have movement it is so painful i cn cry & cnt fully pass any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Painful hemorrhoid: Sit in bathtub with warm water. It seems you have a fissure or potentially infected hemorrhoid. Exam by practitioner seems necessary. Use warm bath repeatedly. Apply Desitin, (zinc oxide diaper cream) too, to the painful area

Question 7

was prescribed anucort and have yeast bk there, using monistat and taking flagyl. will anucort and flagyl make infectiin worse, i am at risk diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; No: Flagyl is commonly use for treatment of yeast infection.  Anucort is a steroid and steroid in general can cause/make yeast infection worse.

Question 8

can i use ice to sooth pain from internal hemorrhoid or fissure? saw idea to freeze water in glove & insert. anucort helpin but still in constant pain

Accepted Answer

Freeze the pain: Cold usually dulls the pain from any tissue as it reduces nerve transmission but at the same time it will also reduce local blood flow (think frost bite!) which may not be a good idea. Your best answer would be a surgical treatment for the hemorrhoids and the fissure. Please consult a general surgeon for your options.

Question 9

besides anucort hc, what are the names of some other suppositories that you can get a prescription for that help with hemorrhoids, and inflammation? also what are some of the ones that have the highest patient success rate?

Accepted Answer

We do not: "recommend" OTC or for that matter Prescription medications (just generics) I can tell you that the preparation you mention is an excellent one. It has been "around" a long time and is fairly successful in treating MINOR hemorrhoid conditions

Hope this is helpful
