Other things that can help with hemorrhoids are increasing insoluble fiber intake can help (plums, kiwis, peas, beans, whole grains), drinking six to eight glasses of water daily to modify stool form and firmness, stool softeners or low-dose laxative therapy can be used in fiber and fluid provide insufficient improvement in stool form and firmness, consider behavior modifications, including avoiding straining and prolonged time on the toilet (avoid straining and reading while in the bathroom), good perianal hygiene, which can be facilitated by a warm sitz bath once or twice a day, and increasing exercise, always if your general health allowed it. In case that despite all of this advice, you will not improve, then use some topical treatments (local anesthetic ointment, mild astringents such as Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana), and corticosteroid cream).
