Can i use antibiotic cream for hemroids?

Hemorrhoids aren't infected so antibiotic cream won't do you any good.





A hemorrhoid is an area around your anus where the muscle fibers have parted and allowed a blood vessel to pop out. It happens to pregnant women (all that extra weight and blood pressure from the extra fluid with the baby), people who gain a lot of weight, if you're constipated a lot and do a lot of straining, people who do a lot of sitting for a living (truckers are prime candidates) or it's possible that it's a hereditary predisposition.





The best thing to do is put pressure on the hemorrhoid pushing the blood vessel back in to where it should be. Using an anti-inflammatory cream or ointment to decrease the swelling will help also. Witch hazel wipes work too. Also, if you are going to have a bowel movement and you've been constipated or the hemorrhoid is bad, use a little personal lube (yeah, like for sex) in your anus before hand. It helps to decrease the amount of strain with passage.





Otherwise, increase your fiber (psyllium capsules every evening with a full glass of water), eat whole grains and lightly cooked veggies, high fiber bread and crackers to make stool softer and drink at least 8 cups of water a day. It will also help if you do mild abdominal exercise to increase the strength of your pelvic floor (google it) and start walking regularly (if you don't exercise).





Hope that helped. Good luck.Can i use antibiotic cream for hemroids?
Try some Witch Hazel instead.Can i use antibiotic cream for hemroids?
I have had hemorrhoids since childhood (from a lot of heavy lifting growing up on a dairy farm). For the most part I just tolerated them as they would come and go. I found that the itching and discomfort could be held to a minimum by keeping the area clean and dry and by using an anti-itch cream (1% hydrocortizone over the counter). Six years ago I decided I had had enough and went looking on the Internet for a solution (other than surgery). Honestly I was a little disgusted and annoyed with all the unproven claims that this oil or that cryrogenic device' were the answers to my problem. Got a real laugh when I read one website claiming that if I rubbed their miracle oil on the bottom of my feet that would somehow help my butt! That lead me to contacting herbalists here in the U.S. to see if there was some existing formula or combination of herbs that could help with the inflammation. (I really don't like taking prescription drugs.) Long story short, there's a product called Nature's Perfect Remedy that really does eliminate the swelling. If you Google for it this url comes up: http://www.people-search-global.com/hemo鈥?/a>
you could,but it won't relieve any of the discomfort or swelling and maybe cause a local allergic reaction.
