I use witch hazel wipes sometimes when they get bad (i.e. swell), but I don't take any medications for it. I'm sorry to say that the most effective thing I have found for it won't be of help for you: squatting when you do #2 instead of sitting. When you squat, it eases the muscles around the sphincter and that helps the blood flow in the area, or so I'm told. Anyway, it has worked for me. Sorry, friend. I realize that probably isn't much help for you. But maybe it will help someone else reading this.

THANKS!!!!

I can confirm the Witch Hazel wipes.  My wife is a RN at the VA and she know all about Old man stuff like Hemorrhoids.  And as the recipient of her knowledge, I can confirm they work very well.  Just keep using them until their gone.

These are what she buys me, and their flushable.  Dude wipes.  haha
