What Causes Insomnia While Suffering From Hemorrhoids?

Good Morning. I am concerned with my husbands physical condition right now. He has been unable these past few days to be a good nights sleep. He claims he has hemorrhoids. He has let his VA physician aware of this in the past. He at this time complains that when he lays down he buttocks burns him. The only relief he gets is when he is standing or sitting up. I have bought him TUCKs to relieve some of the discomfort. He has not eaten anything that would trigger it. as Chile, spicy foods, he cut all that out over 3 months ago. The only medication he takes is Metformin. Thank you in advance.

Hi
Thanks for contacting HCM.

External hemorrhoids are painful and because of it night sleep can be affected. For symptomatic relief you can apply cream containing lidocaine and calcium dobesilate combination. It's applied after defecation. You can also try hot sitz bath for pain relief.
Curative treatment is surgical removal. For that you can consult surgeon.

Regards
