Tucks (witch hazel) pads, call MD: Try cool sits baths, wipe after bm with tucks (witch hazel) pads instead of tiolet paper, preparation h can be used in terminal rectum/anal region to alleviate hemorroid symptoms. Nutritionally: 80-100oz water/day, loooots of fruits. Remember, "p fruits make you poo"(peaches, pears, prunes, pineapple, papaya). If this is not enough to help...Call your md for eval. Hemmoroids can be surgically repaired.

Agree w Dr. Cribari: Is important not to make hemorrhoids worse. Cleaning off after a bowel movement should be gentle. Pre-moistened towlettes can be used to dab the anus. Don’t wipe/rub. Pat the anus dry after cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps that contain dyes or aromas. Cotton underwear is helpful as it absorbs moisture well. Sitz bathes can be helpful. Sit in a bathtub with warm water. There needs to be enough.
