There are a lot of different options when it comes to getting relief from haemorrhoids. Proctosedyl works in the same way as Perinal, by combining a corticosteroid and a local anaesthetic. Like hydrocortisone, it’s for short term use and shouldn’t be used for any longer than 7 days. It comes as an ointment or a suppository, which is inserted directly into your anus.
Scheriproct also combines the same types of medications, but uses a different type of corticosteroid called prednisolone.
Along with sprays, ointments and suppositories to relieve your haemorrhoid symptoms, there are things you can try which might help prevent flare-ups. If you feel the need to empty your bowels, you should do so as soon as you get the urge. Putting off going to the toilet could cause your stools to back up, and the strain from being constipated will likely aggravate your symptoms. You should also avoid sitting down for too long, and try to place a cushion beneath you if you’re on a hard surface. It’s also important to keep your back passage clean, as not doing so can cause irritation. You could try gently using a baby wipe, or a wet cloth, to gently clean the area.
