What Treatment Is Suggested For Topical Medicine For Hemorrhoids ?

what is the best topical medicine for hemrhoids? Also is there any medicine you recommend to take by mouth?
My husband has pain from hemrhoids and his doctor recommended not staying on the toilet too long, to take
meta-mucil and use disposable baby wipes. He is not doing these things. He is 80 years old and would not
want any surgery,

Hi actually surgery is the best treatment and permanent treatment treatment for haemmoroids.as the patient is 80 yrs old surgery should be avoided.
As far as medical treatment is conserned we can use calcium dobisilate 500 mg daily once .pilet powder mixed with water and one sachet is taken daily for 5-7 days and application of sucral t ointment or calcium dobisilate ointment can cure it
