Fiber, sitz baths: you have to avoid constipation or diarrhea. Plenty of fiber in your diet. 25-30 gm fiber per day. While in pain, use Sitz baths- sitting in a pleasant warm water, so area gets clean and relaxes the pain. There are some lotions out there, if pain is bad. It's a steroid cream for hemorrhoids, can be applied twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Ask a pharmacist in your area.
