My son, 19, suddenly has hemorrhoids, its not too large but he's very worried. i got an over d counter cream, germoloids. would it go with this.

Review diet: Though over the counter creams may soothe the symptoms of hemorroids, it is more important to determine its cause. I recommend taking your son to the doctor to review his diet, stool consistency and habits. Frequently, hemorrhoids occur because of constipation and extended periods of standing. Minimizing these risks will go a along way to minimize recurrence of hemorrhoids.

It might: To control hemorrhoids, keep the poop soft by eating lots of fiber, either from supplements or food. Drink lots of water. Make sure hygiene is good and the area is clean after a bowel movement. If your son is obese or has high blood pressure, these can contribute to hemorrhoids and are yet another reason to lose weight and be fit. In the meantime, creams can give some relief.

Hemorrhoids: It 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 with warm water. There needs to >.
