hello! During her pregnancy my wife started having very strange symptoms. They involved aching after a bowel movement and anal itching. We went to a doctor, and she was found hemmorhoids. What are the possible treatments for hemmorhoids? Thank you in advance?

Treatment of the hemorrhoids depends on the severity. Some over-the-counter corticosteroid creams can help reduce the pain and swelling. Witch hazel (applied with cotton swabs) can reduce itching. To lose itching, she may also wear cotton undergarments, avoid toilet tissue with perfumes or colors and try not to scratch the area. Tell your wife to sit in warm water for 10-15 min. If she doesn’t respond to home treatment, she may need a “surgery” like rubber band ligation or even surgical hemorrhoidectomy. These are used if there is bleeding and severe pain.
