Hello, I thought I would reply to this topic. Hemorrhoids can be terrible things to have. Preparation H does help, but getting them removed is usually best if they are too bad. If you have an ongoing issue keeping your anus very clean is ultra important. bathing after pooping is a great idea. If you are on the road, there is a product called tucks that works very well. In ancient time they used Myrrh oil to help. I have never tried it, however I can see where it could help. Myrrh oil is very thick, as a bonus it smells fantastic. God Bless
