Sitz baths: You can decrease the swelling and pain by frequent hot sitz baths and by using stools softeners and fiber to treat the constipation that triggered this problem. Also be sure to stay hydrated and try not to push when defecating. Sometimes wiping with a moistened cloth instead of rough toilet paper and in really extreme cases, try an otc remedy such as Anusol Hc for a limited time.
