Comment from: Maria, 35-44 Female (Patient)

I used Hem-eez and it works. Saw the article on Web MD and then on here and ordered it. Mine that I have been having dire issues with are all but gone. Why can’t the doctors just tell us about these things? Published: May 26 ::

My body does not like antibiotics. For a very minor infection which was almost healed my doctor gave me a prescription 40 tablets to be taken with water one every 6 hours. I followed his direction exactly. It gave me hemorrhoids that itch and burn and light bleeding that have lasted over two months. I also had fever blisters for two weeks. I watch my diet pretty closely and have never been affected like this before! I am rarely ever sick. I may change doctors. Published: May 26 ::

Hello Fellow Sufferers! I have suffered with painful, bleeding hemorrhoids for years! Add fatigue, low blood pressure, loss of libido, and other assorted miseries. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. Try avoiding WHEAT products fora while. See if your symptoms improve. Published: May 11 ::

Comment from: Vance, 45-54 Male (Patient)

I am a 45 yr young male. I had never experienced Hemorrhoids until now. I went out and bought Preparation H cooling gel because I had seen so many advertisements for it and paid $8.00 for a .9oz tube and IT DOES NOT WORK! Published: May 11 ::

Comment from: puteri, 25-34 Female (Patient)

I am suffering of severe pain during defecation, bleeding and hard stool post natally. I was given Anusol suppositories, lignocaine gel and defalan tablets. On top of that, I took high fiber diet. The bleeding ceased, however the pain persisted. It has been 2 weeks now. I find inserting Anusol into the anus too painful. Published: March 06 ::

Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient)

I have gotten hemorrhoids for about the last 6 years or so and absolutely nothing helps. I am so sick of all these phony advertisements for creams, natural remedies they want you to pay a fortune for. Well, I finally found this site and I got to tell you whoever wrote about the zinc-oxide is my one true HERO. I went out and got some DESITIN Diaper Rash ointment which has 40% zinc oxide and I applied it once at bedtime and guess what NO hemorrhoids this morning. It absolutely shrunk the piles and I can sit again. Anyone who reads this has to get DESITIN Diaper Rash Ointment. Published: March 06 ::
