Want to run this by you all. I am thinking of applying the ointment a couple more times during the day. Do you think there would be any negative side affects to using the cream 4 to 6 times a day?

Anything beyond four applications, I would call and ask my doctor. I doubt there is anyone on this board qualified to give you a safe answer for that. If you are healthy, 4 times should be OK...

I applied it at least 6 times a day !!! I was advised to put it every time before the BM ( I had 5 at the time) and after if I washed it away (which I did), so yeah. I did not have any side effects - at least not that I know off. BUT - ask your doctor - this is only my experience and we are all different !
All the best !

Over the last couple days I have had some stinging. I felt around while in the bath today and believe I have a hemmoroid. I have some Preparation H. What would you all recommend for treating the Hemmie?
Thanks guys

Prep H never worked well for me but we are all different. The steroid suppositories from my doctor always worked best in my opinion!

I think Pre H is useless. I used Anusol (Proctosol) on two separate occasions when I had thrombosed hemroids. It is a prescription med and if you are on the ointment, I am not sure the two could both be used at the same time.

If it is thrombosed you might want to go see the doctor so they can remove the clot to ease the pressure. Does it hurt a lot?

Sitzbaths can help and taking anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen also. My doctor told me to take 800 mg 2-3 times a day to help with the swelling. I also have tried using a potato on the area and it seems to draw out the impurities. Peel it, shred it and make a compress out of it or just cut off a piece that you can hold to the area.

The prep H may help a little and there is a cooling gel that they make that can help with the pain. Make sure to keep your bowels soft so you are straining making it worse.

What ointment? The blood pressure stuff I applied countless times a day when things were really bad.

Hello everyone! Thought I would drop in and give another update. I havent had any bleeding or pain in over a month. The only reminence of a fissure is an occasional chaffing feeling or tingling down in that area. Other then that, I am doing great. Definitely glad I came here and got the advice from you all. THe Diltiazem worked wonders.

Wonderful!
Image Glad you stopped in with an update.
Hoping you have continued success. Are you still using the Diltiazem?
Take care,
Jo
