I have an internal hemorrhoid that is making my life a nightmare. I am alone with my son , I have to work to provide.I am not a happy person. It has been over a month. I try almost anything. Sometimes I really think it is over and then comes back to the point that I cry out loud. I am taking advil and decadron. I have always eating good, no fat, high fiber, all wholewheat in my house, fruits and vegetables are my everyday meals always. I don't bleed, it just get bad after using the bathroom. It hurts like.. who knows.Does anyone have anything to say about an efficient home remedy that can help me? Thank you. God bless you all. Ani.

Hi Aninha. I totally know how you feel. I also got a hemorrhoid, but mine is from anal sex and I think we are on the same stage. Normal hemorrhoid does not inflame at all, nor itchy. If It's hurting and itching, you are on stage 2.
But if it's just pure pain and it keeps getting bigger and burning after u use toilet, then you're heading to stage 3, and that's not good.
I know this is horrible. I made an appointment with 3 specialist already and all of them have to make me wait until the next Friday. I couldn't wait until Friday, so I went to the pharmacy instead, and they gave me some tips that really works.
So here's what you should do:
You must sit down in a big bowl of warm/hot water (preferrably bathtub) to relax your hemorrhoid 3 times a day, and after that, towel it dry and apply your hemorrhoid cream.
Unfortunately, hemorrhoid your stage( and my stage) will not just go away by itself, so you have to get yourself a hemorrhoid cream and apply it every time u finish doing your business in the toilet.
I tried 3 hemorrhoid cream already, anyway, and 2 of them doesn't work for me, which is a waste of money.
1. Proctosedyl (Hydrocortisone, Dibucaine hydrochloride, Neomycin B sulfate and Esculoside)
2. Rectinol
3. Proctosedyl (Hydrocortisone 5mg, Cinchocaine hydrochloride 5mg)
The third one is the strongest hemorrhoid ointment that the pharmacy can offer. Luckily, it works.
And uhh, you have to shove your fingers in while using the ointment to reach your internal hemorrhoid. It's going to be very painful doing that, so.. make sure you cut your fingernails.

Internal hemorrhoids are no fun. Besides being embarrassing and painful, they can lead to blood clots if left untreated. And, unlike external hemorrhoids, they can be more challenging to treat due to their location. Luckily, home treatments do work. In most cases, medical procedures can be avoided. Read on to learn more about internal hemorrhoid home treatment.
Sitz Baths
A sitz bath is a standard treatment for hemorrhoids, whether internal or external. Sit in a bathtub filled several inches with warm water, then draw your knees to your chest. The warm water helps reduce swelling. It also improves blood flow in the area, which can help the hemorrhoid heal. Baths should be taken for about 15 to 20 minutes, two to three times per day.
Suppositories
Believe it or not, some of the best internal hemorrhoid treatments aren't available in your medicine aisle, but rather, in your produce aisle. Garlic makes a very effective hemorrhoid suppository. Just peel a clove and insert into the rectum, one to three times per day. If possible, insert and leave in overnight for maximum effectiveness. Raw potato pieces can also be used. Simply cut a small, cone-shaped piece and insert it into the rectum, following the same instructions as for garlic. Remember, if your hemorrhoid is prolapsed, be sure to tuck it back inside before inserting the suppository, for maximum effectiveness.
Extra Tips
Use a stool softener. Internal hemorrhoids won't have a chance to heal if your stood is too hard. Also, increase your fiber to reduce the risk that you'll strain during a bowel movement, which will keep internal hemorrhoids from healing. You can do this by either adding lots of whole grains and vegetables to your diet, or adding a psyllium supplement. Make sure to drink plenty of water to keeps your bowels functioning regularly. Finally, try dabbing a little petroleum jelly just inside your anus to help decrease irritation of the hemorrhoid during bowel movements.
