How to heal a hemorrhoid?

[Anonymous]

I've had a hemorrhoid for over a year. I tried hot baths and hemorrhoid cream. Does anyone have any advice on how to heal it or relieve pain?

Try Epson Salts in the bath water, look for some good hemorrhoid suppositories that have some percentage of Cortisone in them - it helps shrink the swollen tissue - also use suppositories that promote softer stools, as constipation can severely aggravate the problem

What helped me when I had bad hemorrhoids a few months ago was to put "preparation h" on it before bed, drink more water everyday, eat more insoluble fiber, chew my food longer & let the saliva break it down better, & cut out certain foods or chemicals that that are bad for my gut.

For reference, I found that I can't consume too much of certain artificial sweeteners because wreaks Havok on my gut. I love em but I had to mostly cut them out.
