Can anyone recommend over the counter treatment that works as I have tried several different ones and my problem still persists.  

I wa even given ointment and suppositories from my Gp several months ago but it didn’t help either.

For  five months it feels as If I have piles , hurts  to sit feels like something inside, soreness but no bleeding and doesn’t hurt to go to the loo.

    Not many over the counter I’m afraid that worked for me ....

    There’s one I get offline called proto haemalan

    Or proktis m

    Or Emuaid max also is good 

    Sitz bath with Epsom salt , coxnyt oil and cypress oil is good too

    You have been suffering for long enough.  Over the counter treatments are not very strong and you are probably wasting your money. Make sure your diet includes fruit and vegetables and drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.  Make an appointment to see your doctor or practice nurse for a review as there are many different treatments they can prescribe and it may just be a matter of getting the right one. Take care of yourself and keep in touch.

      It's no use just worrying, you are doing the right thing in going to see your doctor.

      Take care and please keep in touch.

      After five months of having to sit sideways I’m stating to think it could be something more than hemroids.
