A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid constipation: First you should eliminate any conditions that cause hemorrhoids like constipation,straining, chronic cough.once you have them and they are inflamed you can use sitz bath or sit in the lukewarm water for 10-15 min2 to 3 times a day and after each bowel movement. You can add over the counter steroid creams like Anusol and apply it to the exposed hemorrhoids. It will take few days to clear up
