Suggest Treatment For Hemorrhoids While On Coumadin
Question: I am on Coumadin for a aortic valve replacement. I just got a hemorrhoid. It is external and not bleeding. Should I put witch XXXXXXX on on it or do you recommend something else?
Brief Answer:
It is OK to use witch XXXXXXX in your situation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I agree with your that witch XXXXXXX used locally can improve your situation.
It is safe to use while taking Coumadin. There is nothing to worry about.
I would also recommend some diet modifications (increase fibers in diet, eat many cereals and vegetables, fruits like plumes, kiwi, orange, etc.) to help avoid constipation, which is the main triggering factor of hemorrhoids.
If bleeding starts (because you are at an increased risk for bleeding from hemorrhoids while taking coumadin), I recommend consulting with your doctor and with a surgeon for a physical exam.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
