Question 1

I was diagnosed w an anal fissure. no bleeding, & prolapsed hemorrhoid. being treated  now w  nifedipine. thinking its the prolapse. burning so bad?

Accepted Answer

Anal fissures hurt really bad. They burn and take time to heal. Use the Nifedipine as directed by your doctor. They use it to relax the sphincter which when too tight causes skin breakdown.

Question 2

How long does it take for nifedipine ointment  to leave your body. i feel like it makes me very tired. dr wants me to use 3x but think i may cut to2x?

Accepted Answer

If i recall from your question earlier this is about topical ointment for an anal fissure. It is very unlikely this anal ointment would cause any systemic side effects like being tired.  If you still have many concerns about using the ointment then ask your doctor to prescribe an alternative therapy. This is a very common treatment though so an alternative may be less effective.

Question 3

I have an anal fissure and was prescribed a nifedipine ointment. will using more often/more than a pea-sized drop do me harm?

Accepted Answer

The dose you listed is considered more than adequate for the medication to work. Both 2 and 3 x daily dosing has been suggested in references. A variety of side effects including dizziness, nausea, light headedness, pallor and heart rate changes are occasionally seen and may be more likely with a larger dose.Larger doses will not necessarily speed healing.

Question 4

I have a very painful external hemorrhoid, its a constant pain so i couldnt sleep last night, panados dont help ease the pain,  im using anusol ointment and amethocaine cream since yesterday evening, but its not improving ?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids sometimes need surgery.  There are several other treatments such as creams, enema, and treating constipation

Question 5

I had a baby 2 weeks ago and i have hemorrhoids outside of my rectum, what should i do? i use an ointment since yesterday.

Accepted Answer

Take fiber drink to keep stools soft. Anusol suppository daily. See your dr for additional assistance.

Question 6

I've been applying proctosedyl the anti-hemmorhoid ointment for almost a month, but the hemorrhoid is still present. how will it go?(no constipation).

Accepted Answer

Topical agents for hemorrhoids (varicose veins of anal canal) will only ease the inflammation of those varicose veins leading to a smaller size, but would not fade or eradicate them. Their conservative care is only control their symptoms and not cure forever. Ultimately, hemorrhoidectomy may be required. More? Ask doctor timely for detail.

Question 7

The area around my anus has a open wound that bleeds when wiped, but i know for sure it isn't a hemorrhoid. can triple antibiotic ointment help?

Accepted Answer

Please see a gastroenterologist. This could be a rectal or anal fissure or something else entirely, get a correct diagnosis and proper treatment. As you know it is a very sensitive area, save yourself unnecessary pain and have it treated professionally. Hope all turns out well for you.

Question 8

Best otc ointment for hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

One's doctor first has to examine it to see if it is a hemorrhoid or something else. Hemorrhoids can be internal or external, or a person can have both. That's why there are hemorrhoidal treatments in both the suppository and the ointment forms. A primary care doctor, general surgeon, colo-rectal surgeon, or proctologist can help treat or remove hemorrhoids if symptoms are more than just mild.

Question 9

Question 10

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

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.
