How To Apply and Receive the Best Results Using Revivol-XR Hemorrhoid Cream.
Authored by: Dr. Naheed Ali, MD, PhD.
Hemorrhoids on the perimeter of the anus are caused by blood vessels that have expanded in size. If you have external hemorrhoids, you might feel a lump or bump near where your anal opening is. The affected area may hurt, itch, swell, and make you feel like “it's all on fire.” These symptoms can be alleviated by hemorrhoid creams, which are typically fast-acting.
Applying Hemorrhoid Cream External
The treatment for external hemorrhoid cream should consist of the following steps:
- Step 1: The first step in applying hemorrhoidal cream is determining the optimal time to apply the ointment. It can be applied before and after bowel movements, as well as before bedtime.
- Step 2: After determining when to apply the cream, wash and dry your hands. The hemorrhoid area must be clean and bacteria-free.
- Step 3: Hemorrhoids are treated with cleansing wipes, sitz bath salts, or topical creams. Avoid toilet paper in this instance because it irritates hemorrhoidal skin.
- Step 4: Squeeze hemorrhoid cream onto your finger. You may need more, but this is a sufficient amount, to begin with.
- Step 5: Carefully apply the hemorrhoid cream to the affected area, massaging it into any external hemorrhoids.
- Step 6: If more hemorrhoid cream is necessary to cover the entire affected area, add more to your finger and reapply.
- Step 7: Replace the cap on your hemorrhoid ointment.
- Step 8: Rewash your hands to ensure that you aren't spreading bacteria elsewhere.
- Step 9: Reapply after a bowel movement and before bed, no more often than the label allows.
Hemorrhoid creams provide temporary relief, and each product may have different instructions. Always read and follow the Drug Facts label. Stop use and ask a doctor if bleeding occurs or symptoms do not improve within 7 days.
Perineal sprays, also known as hemorrhoid treatment sprays, can be used with an ointment to temporarily relieve symptoms of external hemorrhoids.
What About Internal Hemorrhoids?
Internal hemorrhoids are enlarged, irritated blood vessels inside the rectum, often linked to constipation, pregnancy, and prolonged sitting. Symptoms can include bleeding during bowel movements and a feeling of fullness after using the restroom.
Revivol-XR® hemorrhoid creams are for external use only. Do not insert them into the rectum. If you have bleeding or symptoms that seem internal, talk with your doctor about the right treatment.
