Hemorrhoid Rx: Read this reticle===>http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hemorrhoids/ds00096/dsection=treatments-and-drugs which provides some very useful measures you can explore together to cure the problem of this annoying but usually harmless affliction. Occasionally, a simple surgical ligation can cure the problem permanently, but try these less invasive remedies first.

See below: Black stool needs to be checked by doc to r/o upper GI bleeding (esophagus, stomach, small intestine) & check for tear in anus as well as hemorrhoids. Otc preps abound: preparation h (plain or w/ hydrocortisone), witch hazel wipes. Prevent hard stools/straining by using stool softener &/or increasing dietary fiber & fluid intake.
