I need relief from hemorrhoids! Please help!?
I have a really big one that appeared last night. I have applied prep h this morning, been drinking water, eating and raisin bran. I will take some metamucil fiber later on today. It’s pretty inflammed right now though, and very very uncomfortable. What else can I do? Should I just leave it alone and wait for the swelling to go down? This is embarassing…please help!

If you have hemorrhoid here is how to treat them:
1. Keep it clean: Keep your anal area as clean as possible. Using moist wipes or medicated hemorrhoid pads are more comfortable than toilet paper.
2. Lay down: Avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time, which can put pressure on the hemorrhoids.
3. Let someone else do it: Avoid heavy or moderate lifting.
4. Petroleum jelly: Try some petroleum jelly on the rectum to cool it off and ease bowel movements.
5. Try some ice: Sitting on an ice pack may give some relief from the burning.
6. Use a sitz bath: Sit in enough warm water to cover the hemorrhoids, either in your bathtub or in a sitz bath that fits on the toilet.
7. Use suppositories or creams: Check with your health care team before trying any of the over the counter remedies you may find in a drugstore. See:Medication for Hemorrhoids
If none of these remedies helps, your hemorrhoids get worse, or you see any bleeding, check with your health care team.
