What works for severe hemorrhoids?
Hello! What do people use for severe hemmorrhoids? I can usually manage with prep H but this is not doing the trick. Help please!

Nupercainal is over the counter and has lidocaine in it. You said severe hemorrhoids. May be time to see a doctor as you may have thrombosed hemorrhoids which requires a simple surgery.

Have you seen a proctologist? You may need surgery if they are really bad.

1 ReactionInternal or external? I’ve heard only external are painful….idk, but I had one thrombosed hemorrhoid several years ago! Omg! It’s beyond excruciating. Difficult to describe. I tried everything. Trouble is that after a certain point, nothing really helps….maybe ice cubes. I suffered several days and eventually got to Urgent Care to have it burst before doctor could incise it, which he was going to do. After it burst, it drained blood and healed over next week. If I have another, I’d see doctor to incise it without delay. All that waiting was needless suffering, imo.
Thank you all. I’m out of state so trying to baby this along until I get home. I purchased an ointment with lidocaine to see if that helps. I took a bath which really felt good. I’m cutting out a lot of caffeine, substituting with hot water, trying to sleep with my legs elevated…anything to make it home to see my doc. I so appreciate all of you. BTW, they are external.
