Hello,
There are no studies support that garlic juice to cure hemorrhoids, but it may act as anti-inflammatory or antiseptic and antithrombotic etcetera. Itching may be due to infected hemorrhoids or thrombosed hemorrhoids or fissure in anus or worms in stool etcetera. Please check stool examination done, consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
