Care of hemorrhoids: Self care of piles: daily shower, hair dryer area, apply over the counter salves, (desitin, Prep H), Lidocaine gel, and bowel regimen. Goal is 2 soft bowel movements daily, to decrease rectal irritation of passing hard, large caliber stools. If your problem persists despite the above care, okay to check in with your doc. You may benefit from a surgery consult. Foods that add fiber will help.
