How Can A Hemorrhoid Be Treated?

Good evening. My wife, for the very first time, thinks she has like a hemorrhoid in her butt. Apparently today she pushed too hard when pooping. I was curious if this Nitro-Bid (Nitroglycerin Ointment, 2%) which we have in the house would be good to use. She is feeling a bit of discomfort at the moment. She did take IBuprofen about 10 minutes ago.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Internal haemorrhoids which your wife is having can be presently managed conservatively. Taking Ibuprofen, which is an analgesic medication will help to overcome pain. Glycerine ointment application will help to soothe the part.
The following measures can be taken additionally:
1. Local application Lignocaine gel, which would help to anaesthetise the area and relieve pain.
2. Taking stool softener like Isapgol Husk powder dissolved in water twice daily to relieve and prevent constipation.
3. Consuming soft and easily digestible foods, drinking good quantity of water and eating fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fibres.
If the symptoms does not get relieved by adopting to above measures, it would advisable to undergo cryosurgery.
Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
