There are a variety of over the counter hemorrhoids treatment options for those who have tried all the herbal and home remedies and are ready to try a few other options. These treatments are not meant to cure hemorrhoids, per se, but may help ease the symptoms. For example, if you are exhibiting a symptom like anal itching, then there are a number of over the counter treatments for you to choose from.
There are as many forms of hemorrhoid treatment as there are active ingredients. No one form works any better than the next. It is a matter of preference. Take your pick from any of the following:
* Ointment
* Gel
* Pad
* Foam
* Suppository
* Cream
You will find that there are different active ingredients, some of which are brand names and others are generic or general mixtures of more than one active ingredient. Their goals will vary. According to what symptoms you need to relieve, choose the one that will take care of your particular problem. Some of your choices include:
* Corticosteroids – These should be used in moderation as they can be harsh on the skin, but applied topically in small doses they can relieve symptoms like itching and inflammation.
* Vasoconstrictors - These are chemicals meant to mimic the effects of epinephrine. Applied topically, they reduce swelling by shrinking the blood vessels. This, in turn, may relieve pain and itching.
* Antiseptics – These kill bacteria and keep the area clean.
