Hi I am suffering from hemorrhoids from last year.I took Ayurvedic medicine about six months ago and then it was almost healed.now again I started having those symptoms back.last week my piles ruptured and it was bleeding during bowel movement.the bleeding stopes after 2 days.I wanted to know can I apply dettol antiseptic cream to cure that cut.please suggest me how I can recover.I am eating enough fiber and having plenty of water as well.is there anything else that I should do to heal this problem. Regards
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The use of a high fiber diet and a lot of water would help to reduce the frequency of acute hemorrhoidal episodes, so you should continue to do this. If you are not able to use enough fiber in your diet then you may also want to consider a fiber supplement such as Metamucil, benefited or citrucelIf there is a cut in the anal region then you can apply the antiseptic cream to the area. The use of a mild steroid cream as well may help to reduce any inflammation and discomfort associated with the hemorrhoids. When acute hemorrhoidal episodes occur, you can also try site baths. These would reduce the swelling and pain as well. I hope this helps
