Digestive Care > Haemorrhoids Digestive Care

In different colours, we'd call it Ringtones.

Advantages: Can be bought over the counter, along with black pudding and sun-dried tomato paste.
Disadvantages: Self-diagnosis. And the rest.

'Scuse the title, but we have to hook the under-twelves on this site, haven't we? Well, where do you start? I mean, if your friend has a problem, and he wants to share it with the nation, but wants to remain anonymous, do you, as a wannabe journalist, give your friend an alter ego, pop in a disclaimer at the end of the opinion – or just expose his/her a*se to public scrutiny and be damned? Well, we don’t talk about piles, do we? We don’t even ...
...For your information, piles are four words up from haggis in the Penguin Pocket English Dictionary. Sadly, because of our reluctance to talk about the subject, few of us actually know what hammer-heads are. We all hear the myths and the superstitions, but our knowledge is limited to the gross inaccuracies of the plethora of jokes on the subject. Which is why my friend, on discovering an itch and a little bit of discharge, oscillated between a plook ...

Review of Preparation H Ointment

Goodness gracious great buns of fire!

Advantages: Smite those flames
Disadvantages: Could brush your teeth with it by accident

...in question do for you? Anusol ointment is a treatment designed specifically for the treatment of haemorrhoids. It is packaged in a blue and white box which contains a tube of ointment which looks very similar to most toothpastes (try not to get them mixed up, I would not recommend cleaning your teeth with this stuff!) and an instruction leaflet. The flesh coloured cream inside is very sticky, very sticky indeed. To apply you should place some of ...
...the symptoms I have mentioned above. Most haemorrhoids are painful but not serious. However, they could hide other problems and a quick check up may be a little embarrassing, but it’s better to be sure after all! You can also buy anusol suppositories but I haven’t tried them personally! ...

Review of Anusol Ointment

Ease that pain

Advantages: Works brilliantly on that tender area
Disadvantages: none

Haemorrhoids are a particularly uncomfortable and sometimes extremely painful ailment. They are more often called piles and many suffer from this disorder regularly. There are many wives tales associated with the condition, but there is no proof that they are caused by any of the tales you may have encountered especially the sitting or hot or cold surfaces. Haemorrhoids are caused by the swelling of veins surrounding the lower internal part of the ...
...much that they are forced out of the back passage and are left protruding as very tender areas. It is not a pleasant subject to talk about so I apologise for any uncouthness that may emerge As the swelling increases so does the pain as one has to commit to a bowel movement. Sitting and sometimes even just walking can be excruciating and your swelling rubs on your body and your underwear. It is most definitely not a very nice thing to have. One of ...

Review of Anusol Cream

Poke this in your eye

Advantages: Pain relief
Disadvantages: buying a very obvious product

...my motives)** ***Subject: Anusol suppositories. ***Why?: ‘cos my bum is a disaster area since being pregnant and giving birth to what felt like a professional football player, and having a vaginal caesarean to do so didn’t help either! ***Technical name of problem: Haemorrhoids, piles, pile-warts, etc etc. To cut a long story short, I shall simply say that having detected more pain than usual, that involved itching, stinging and extreme tearsineyes ...
...with that name!!??) I chose Anusol suppositories, as I didn’t fancy a squelchy bottom due to ointment, or cream. (incidentally these are the other formats Anusol comes in) o.k, if you have got this far and are not sure if this is the product for you, or even if you are unsure of whether you have haemorrhoids even....maybe you want to look at this checklist and make your mind up. ***What are piles/haemorrhoids? These are swollen blood vessels, which ...

Review of Anusol Suppositories

One of the best products for piles

Advantages: Works better than other treatments
Disadvantages: Still doesn't cure piles

I have tried other remedies (to remain nameless) but for me this is one of the best. Swelling and soreness are greatly reduced and wihin a couple of days I no longer had to use it. The gel is clear and has no smell. It's easy to apply and washes of easily as well. It still isn't a full cure but I would rate this product very highly. The pricing of the product is more better value than most of it's competitiors and alround I think the value for money ...
