Preparation H Ointment Hemorrhoid Symptom Treatment
Hemorrhoids develop when tiny veins in the rectum and anus become inflamed. This can result from sitting for long periods, straining to make bowel movements, pressure caused by excess body weight or pregnancy, ongoing digestive issues or other causes. Although they are typically not a serious medical problem, hemorrhoids can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms like itching, pain and swelling. Preparation H Ointment Hemorrhoid Symptom Treatment can ease these symptoms.

Quick Relief From Discomfort
Preparation H Ointment Hemorrhoid Symptom Treatment contains mineral oil and petrolatum, two proven skin protectants. When applied to the skin, these active ingredients quickly begin to soothe inflamed tissue for relief from itching, burning and other types of discomfort. The ingredients also reduce the risk of irritation flaring up again when the hemorrhoid treatment is used as directed.

Reduces Swelling
In addition to skin protectants, Preparation H Ointment Hemorrhoid Symptom Treatment features phenylephrine Hcl 0.25 percent. This active ingredient is a vasoconstrictor, meaning that it causes blood vessels to narrow. The compound works directly on swollen blood vessels in the anal area, allowing hemorrhoids to shrink.

Doctor Recommended
Due to its effectiveness, Preparation H is a top doctor recommended brand of hemorrhoid treatment. The over-the-counter medication is often enough to address symptoms of hemorrhoids; however, individuals who experience a worsening of symptoms or who do not see improvements in symptoms within seven days should consult their doctors.
