A member asked:
Would oral prednisone help a thrombosed external hemorrhoid thats failed tx w/ hc suppositories & cream? what's best for pain control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemrrhoid: Oral Prednisone has not been well documented in the literature in the treatment of hemrrhoids. Keeping on a strict schedule of nsaids for their anti-inflammatory effect, barring no contra-indications in your personal history, would be beneficial to you. I would recomment starting with Ibuprofen (motrin) 600mg 3 times a day for 30 days. The anti-inflammatory effects take a full week before benefit.
