How Can Hemorrhoids Be Treated?
Hi, I have hemroids currently and am seeing a surgeon in 2 days. Within the past 2 days I ve started having secretion from the rectal area that wets my underwear and is causing major itching, the cream and wipes is doing nothing to help it. Is there anything I can do to combat it?

Hi;
In minor-moderate hemoroids, creams and batticon baths after every defecation are often beneficial. But if there is an infectious discharge, antibiotics must be added. If hemoroids are advanced like stage 3 or 4, surgery must be considered. But this decision must be made by general surgeon who is taking care of you. In this time, I suggest increase fluid intake, avoid spice/fast food.
May you recover soon
