Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern for your husband.
Pain due to internal hemorrhoids can be overcome by following means:
1. Application of Lidocaine gel inside, which would act as local anesthetic.
2. Taking Isabgol husk powder as laxative everyday with water at bedtime, which would help in easy evacuation of bowels and preventing constipation.
3. Consuming diet rich in fibers and drinking good quantity of fluids so that it would add bulk to the stools and helps in smooth evacuation of bowels.
Once these symptoms subside and comes under control, it would be better for him to get operated by means of cryosurgery.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
