I mentioned this sometime back, so if you remember it, then don't bother reading any further.
I had hemorrhoids really badly a long time ago that drove me crazy. My brother had them too, and he told me he got rid of his by using "Wet Ones" whenever he went to the bathroom. He was right; as soon as I began using them FAITHFULLY every single time I went, my hemorrhoids soon shrunk up to nothing. I also used Preparation H when the itching drove me crazy.
I've switched from "Wet Ones" to "Always Feminine Wipes." I keep a purse-size pack in my emergency medicine cabinet, and whenever I go to the bathroom, I take my little pack with me. At the office, it was a standing joke with everyone, whenever they saw me with the little white plastic case, they knew where I was going and what I was going to do.
Laugh as they might, I had a happy bum. Still do.
The trick is to NEVER go to the bathroom without using a feminine wipe.
Hubby has hemorrhoids also, and has begun using the Preparation H hemorrhoid wipes; however, he said the Preparation H cream isn't nearly as effective as Anusol HC-1 cream. It's over-the-counter medication, so you should be able to find it anywhere.
I haven't needed the cream for over 20 years now, but again -- I never EVER go to the bathroom without my little plastic case! I have two sizes: the large size that sits on top of the toilet tank and the purse-size that goes in my emergency kit.
Interesting that you brought this subject up, Ruchie, because just yesterday I ran out of my "Always" and, because I was real busy sewing curtains, hubby went out to the store to get me more of my "Always." He couldn't find them anywhere; all the drug stores were out, and even Safeway was out of them. He had to drive down to Rite Aid Drugs and ask the saleswoman for feminine wipes. Can you imagine?!
What a guy! I owe him one, don't I?
