Oral Pills for Hemorrhoids: Your Treatment Options
Share
Creams and wipes treat the surface, but oral pills work from the inside and are easy to fit into a daily routine. A few different types can help with hemorrhoids, each in its own way. Here is how they compare.
Types of Oral Pills
- Pain relievers: ibuprofen reduces pain and inflammation; acetaminophen eases pain alone.
- Flavonoid supplements: diosmin and hesperidin are studied for supporting healthy veins and reducing swelling and bleeding.
- Fiber supplements: soften stool so you stop straining, which addresses the root cause.
How to Combine Them
For a full-coverage approach, a vein-support formula tackles swelling while fiber keeps stools soft, and a pain reliever covers the worst of a flare. Take them consistently for the best results.
When to See a Doctor
Check with a provider before combining medications, and see them for heavy bleeding or severe pain.
