I'm in sooo much discomfort from a hemorrhoid - what can I do until I can get to a doctor? I am using Preparation H cream, suppositories, Tucks wipes, and I am trying not to move around. It even hurts when I am stationary, like when I'm trying to sleep. This is certainly embarrassing but I am desperate for help. The "type" of hemorrhoid I have is one lump, about a large pea size, right on the outside of my anus. Thanks.
Answers:
1Take some ice, put in a plastic sealable bag, lie back and place this on your hemorrhoid. This will numb it up for awhile. Then switch and go sit in a nice warm bath - or take a warm sitz bath. You can alternate this all day. This should provide some relief from the swelling and pain.
Also, take some Advil or Tylenol. Hopefully you are wearing loose fitting underwear and clothes. Sometimes underwear can aggravate the situation (if you are for instance wearing a thong).
Drink lots of water to stay well-hydrated and also to aid in digestion.
Watch your diet - eat lots of oatmeal, fruits, veggies - things with fiber/roughage to help with your BM's.
