A member asked:
What are my options for treating hemorrhoids? already tried a 5 day supply of hydrocortisone suppositories. do i maybe just need them treated longer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sitz baths: Sitz baths at least twice a day will definitely help. Stay on a high fiber diet, drink plenty of fluids, use very soft toilet paper and start a stool softener. If you are not better within 2 weeks, see a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon.
