I am an 18 year old male. I have been to the doctor who prescribed Scheriproct suppositories with a local anaesthetic and also a hydrocortisone formula to shrink tissue. I also apply witch hazel on cotton balls 3 times per day. I have modified my diet to increase fiber intake. I eat high fibre cereals, drink prune juice, eat dates, have a fiber supplement (Benefibre) and a vegetarian diet. I use the bathroom on average twice per day. I don’t have to strain at all. When I do use the bathroom, there is a lot of blood on the toilet paper. Why aren’t they going away? It’s messing my life around, I can’t work properly, or sit down for long periods of time without severe pain.

Just the word hemorrhoid grosses me out so I have not sought medical advice about this. However, my daughter is now 5 months old, and it still feels like my intestine is sticking out down there because the hemorrhoid is so large. It is ALWAYS irritated. I use Witch Hazel, I’ve used Prep. H, I use Hydrocortisone…I am at a loss. It never stops itching and burning, and it bleeds every time I eliminate.
Any advice? How long after baby do they typically disappear?

hydrocortisone cream to use. How do I know that I am getting it in there enough?
