Suggest Treatment For Persistent Flare Ups When Diagnosed With Hemorrhoids

I have been detected with hemorrhoids in 2013. Had been advised to take water and fibre intake. It lasts for few weeks and then there are no symptoms for more than 10 months or a year. some times, it just appears with mild bleeding a day and then vanishes off. I use hydrocortisone creams those days. Last one week I am back with this flare ups and is setting till a week. I am afraid if its something else?

I warmly Welcome you !


Hydrocortisone cream is used if the hemorrhoids get infected. Don't use it excessively and without any medical indication.

Hemorriods are due to Portal Hypertension and we have to examine you once a while to see if the disease has advanced. Hemorriods have different degrees based on severity.


You need to see a physician for follow up evaluation and to see how is it doing. Don't let it like this. You need to get serious for treatment of your genuine medical problem. Make an appointment with your treating physician and get it checked and get treated accordingly.


Hope it helps. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact me anytime.
