If you ask three different Doctors to suggest a topical cream, you will probably get three different answers. Every doctor who has to prescribe a medication for Hemroids probably has their own favourite they like to prescribe – probably (says the cynic) the cream produced by the company that gives better commissions and perks.

But not all Hemroid creams need a prescription. You can get some Hemroids creams over the counter. Again, if you ask the pharmacist for help, he or she probably recommends the brand of cream that they have the most of in stock.

So what’s the answer? Which cream is best for Hemroids? The Right answer: None. All Hemroids creams work in the same way: they are designed to numb the pain of the haemorrhoid and to constrict the blood vessels within the haemorrhoid so that it shrinks. All this is a short term relief.

Not all creams work the same way, some of them work just as lubricants. Lubricant is often used to help ease things when having a bowel motion or for prolapsed haemorrhoids that need to be manually replaced.

You may not know this but, you can get the same results using home made remedies? Save a lot of money by opting out of expensive Hemroids cream! A cold compress or an ice pack held over the haemorrhoid or over the anus can have exactly the same effect: the blood vessels with shrink and the pain will be numbed temporarily.

But better than any temporary method is finding a way to permanent Hemroid solution. Because who wants to be content with the temporary relief brought by ice packs or Hemroids cream? Thankfully, home remedies to remove haemorrhoids can be found – no need for scary surgery or for expensive Hemroids cream any more!
