Care of hemorrhoids: Piles or external hemorrhoids can be treated with daily shower, hair dryer the area, over the counter salves, Lidocaine gel, and a bowel regimen. The goal is two soft bowel movements daily, to help decrease the rectal irritation of passing hard, large caliber stools. If your problem persists despite the above care, okay to check in with your doc.

In addition to info: Your already received here are some ideas.T is important not to make hemorrhoids worse. Cleaning off after a bowel movement should be gentle. Pre-moistened towlettes can be used to dab the anus. Don’t wipe/rub. Pat the anus dry after cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps that contain dyes or aromas. Cotton underwear is helpful as it absorbs moisture well. Sitz bathes can be helpful. Sit in a bathtub >.
