View all9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery
It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I'm dealing with piles for about a month now and I'm kind of worried. I'm wondering, do smoking and drinking make the pain worse when I go to the bathroom, or do they have any bad effects on my piles? Also, I'm currently using Anovate cream. Is that a good choice? I haven't seen a doctor about this yet.
Smoking and drinking can indeed worsen the symptoms of piles. They can cause irritation to the digestive system and lead to increased pain during bowel movements. It is advisable to avoid smoking and drinking to help alleviate the pain associated with piles. Regarding the Anovate cream, it is a good choice for treating piles. You can apply a small amount of Anovate cream externally around the anal area after cleaning the area thoroughly. It is recommended to use Anovate cream as per the instructions provided on the packaging or as directed by a healthcare professional.
