Ask a health question...best over counter remedy for hemorrohoids?

Depends : On the cause. However stool softeners if constipation is the problem can be helpful. Also preparation h works fairly well.

Several: Hot sitz baths (free!), preparation h, witch hazel, or anusol all can help. High fiber diet (think "fiber one" or "all bran" cereal) and not straining can help prevent hemorrhoids. Surgery is the very last resort and usually not necessary.
