Problems with Hemorrhoids Creams
So you want to know about Hemorrhoids Creams? Most of the ointments and creams are used to reduce the symptoms of pain and itching caused by hemorrhoids. They do not treat the root of the problem which is in the veins. I like to compare hemorrhoids creams to cold medicine. They make life tolerable while the body takes care of the problem by itself. In some cases this will work, but in my experience it did not work for me.
Types of Hemorrhoids Creams
There are several types of hemorrhoids creams available. The most effective in reducing the pain is any product that contains hydrocortisone like Anusol-HC or a product that contains some type of steroids. Most of the products that contain steroids are usually by prescription only from your doctor.
Other Types of Relief
There are also some medicated pads that help with the burning and itching. Tucks which is almost a household name is very popular and helps for a very short while. I remember when I had my bad case of hemorrhoids that I was using them quite often throughout the day and the relief only lasted for about 5 minutes. I've also used Preparation H which contains a vasoconstrictor that helps in reducing the swelling in the veins. I used a lot of this also and it only helps temporarily.
