The dreaded H word
emadlma

Anyone got any good treatments or cures for hemorrhoids? Mine have gotten worse over the past two days and are keeping me up at night. I have used Preparation H, but that doesn't really do too much. I was just thinking the other day that they weren't too bad. Guess I should have knocked on wood!
Edited because I am an English teacher and that's what we do.

Tucks pads?
They are marketed towards hemorrhoids.
I haven't personally used them for that purpose, but they do make the swelling in my labia go down...
You don't really "wipe" with it, you just stick it up there (not in there) and leave it until the next bathroom break as I understand it.
Refrigerated Tucks pads (placed over your anus and left there), make-up pads or cotton balls soaked in witch hazel (this is exactly what tucks pads are), anusol (like prep-H but some people have success with one brand over another), anurex (a pinky-finger sized plastic tube thingy) that you keep in the freezer and insert into your rectum a few times a day (like an internal ice pack), thin menstrual pads soaked in witch hazel or plain water and frozen in the freezer (use like an external ice pack), Dr. Wheatgrass cream (love this!), stool softeners (like colace) if you're on the constipated side, baby wipes or flushable feminine wipes to use as toilet paper when you have a BM instead of toilet paper, and taking a shower after a BM to clean off the area. There are also prescription grade creams that your doctor can give you (like anusol or proctosedyl...not sure if the last one is safe in pregnancy).
Can you tell I had hemmies after delivering DD?

A few days ago I noticed that I had hemorrhoids. I thought I had dodged the bullet. Thankfully it isn't real bead yet but I wanna nip it in the bud asap. I am going to attack this full-force with everything I got. Prep H, Tucks wipes, Witch Hazel and some natural H cream I got from the health store. I don't know what works yet.
