Hemorrhoid Hygiene Pads
Hemorrhoidal hygiene pads are often recommended for people suffering from external hemorrhoids. They contain a combination of ingredients known to relieve unwanted symptoms, including burning and irritation caused by hemorrhoids.
As hemorrhoids are often painful and can bleed, using hemorrhoidal hygiene pads can help protect the affected area to prevent infection.
In some cases, hemorrhoidal hygiene pads may also contain ingredients that can help to shrink external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidal hygiene pads are available over the counter and do not require a prescription. Using these pads after the bathroom or after a bowel movement is ideal. They are typically used for a short period until the external hemorrhoid resolves.
Before using hemorrhoid hygiene pads, individuals must check if they are allergic to ingredients such as glycerin and witch hazel. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers with external hemorrhoids must seek their doctor’s recommendation before using hemorrhoid hygiene pads to ensure both efficacy and safety. Children below 12 years old must use hemorrhoid hygiene pads unless otherwise recommended by a physician.
