Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I get checked out. I ve had a hemorrhoid for almost a week, it got better, but flared up bad again. Its external. Its grown a bit in size. Slightly larger than a pea. A but hard, and now it has a white dot on the tip. Its a bit painful, and causes extreme discomfort. Should I see my family physician? Preparation H and wipes aren t helping.
Hello dear I understand your concern Consult the general surgeon and get examined for the doctor for proper treatment. Take following advises: Hot FOMENTATION. Stop pilex ointment Apply ANOVATE ointment twice a day. Once at bedtime and once after passing stool in morning. Apply lignocaine ointment few minutes before going to pass stool. Take a laxative like CREMAFFIN 15 ml at bedtime to make your stool soft. Use treatment for the 3-4 week. If not responds then local surgery is the treatment. Hope this may help you
