Hello,
If you are still bleeding a little, it will be good idea to use both rectal suppositories as well as ointments to decrease the bleeding and inflammation.
- Insert a Anusol-HC rectal suppository inside your anus every night before you sleep for 7 days. This will decrease inflammation and swelling of the haemorrhoids.
- Apply Preparation H Clear gel inside the anus as soon as you get up in the morning and before passing stool. This will act as a lubricant and also cause constriction of the blood vessels of the haemorrhoids. Apply the gel again after passing stool as high up as you can inside the anus.
- Take a Motrin tablet 500 mg twice daily after food for 5 days to reduce pain and inflammation.
- As far as possible, do not strain at stool. Drink at least 2 glasses of water before going to bed and 1 glass of warm water on empty stomach in the morning for increased intestinal movements and smooth passage of stool. If you feel that the stool is hard and may need straining, apply an increased amount of the gel inside the anus and wait for some time for the lubricant action to take place.
Fresh blood staining the toilet paper or streaking the the stool is usually due to haemorrhoids. Bleeding higher up the intestinal tract would have produced black stool with the blood mixed in the stool. Ocasionally, if there are rectal polyps, you may have fresh bleeding, but this is not an emergency either and you can easily return from your vaction and then consult a doctor.
I hope this helps.
