Hello, : Hello, here are just a few tips for dealing with hemorrhoids. You can purchase pre moistened toweletts for wiping. Try to be very gentle and blot the anus instead of rubbing when possible. Try not to scratch your anus, even if it itches. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods. If you do have to sit for long periods, there are pillows that are designed to relieve pressure. If you don’t have allergies to non-steroidal inflammatory medications you can consider use of motrin. You can also take a sitz bath a few times each day. Sit in warm water in the tub for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time. An excellent approach is acupuncture which can help to move stagnant blood, swelling, lymph and energy.
