What Are The Best Pills For Hemrhoids?

what is the best topical medicine for hemrhoids? Also is there any medicine you recommend to take by mouth?
My husband has pain from hemrhoids and his doctor recommended not staying on the toilet too long, to take
meta-mucil and use disposable baby wipes. He is not doing these things. He is 80 years old and would not
want any surgery,

Hi,
There is always confusion about perianal diseases. You need to get him examined by a surgeon.If it is hemorrhoids then there are no pills for it. surgical intervention is the only option if they are symptomatic by way of bleeding.
