Piles (Haemorrhoids) Treatment

Haemorrhoids (Piles) Treatment – Redwood Pharmacy

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen blood vessels in or around the back passage (anus or rectum). They can cause discomfort, itching, bleeding, and pain, especially when passing stools. Haemorrhoids are very common and can affect both men and women at any age.

At Redwood Pharmacy, we offer effective treatment for haemorrhoids with Proctosedyl ointment and suppositories, available after a short, confidential consultation with one of our trained pharmacists.

🔍 What Are Haemorrhoids?

Haemorrhoids can occur inside the rectum (internal) or around the anus (external). They are often linked to:

  • Straining during bowel movements

  • Constipation or prolonged sitting

  • Pregnancy or childbirth

  • A low-fibre diet

⚠️ Symptoms of Haemorrhoids

You may be experiencing haemorrhoids if you notice:

  • Bright red bleeding after passing stools

  • Itching, irritation, or soreness around the anus

  • Lumps or swelling around the anus

  • Pain or discomfort when sitting or going to the toilet

  • Mucus discharge after a bowel movement

If you have persistent or severe bleeding, it’s important to consult your GP to rule out other conditions.

💊 Treatment with Proctosedyl Ointment & Suppositories

Proctosedyl is a dual-action treatment that helps to relieve pain, inflammation, and itching associated with haemorrhoids. It contains cinchocaine hydrochloride (a local anaesthetic) and hydrocortisone (a mild steroid).

✅ Proctosedyl Ointment

  • Ideal for external haemorrhoids

  • Soothes itching and reduces inflammation

  • Apply twice daily, and after each bowel movement

  • Includes an applicator for internal use if needed

✅ Proctosedyl Suppositories

  • Designed for internal haemorrhoids

  • Provide fast, targeted relief

  • Insert one suppository twice daily, ideally morning and night

Our pharmacist will guide you on which product is most suitable, or whether both can be used together.

🩺 What to Expect During Your Pharmacy Consultation

  • Private, discreet consultation with a trained pharmacist

  • Review of your symptoms and medical history

  • Advice on proper use of ointments or suppositories

  • Supply of Proctosedyl if appropriate

  • Referral to a GP if symptoms are severe, ongoing, or unclear

This is a private service, and a charge will apply for both consultation and treatment.

🌿 Tips to Prevent and Manage Haemorrhoids

  • Eat a high-fibre diet to soften stools

  • Drink plenty of water daily

  • Avoid straining or sitting too long on the toilet

  • Exercise regularly to improve bowel function

  • Clean the area gently after bowel movements

  • Avoid perfumed soaps or wipes that may irritate the skin
