Had my first ever flare up happen 3 days ago, started with another prep-h ointment formula with mineral oils, but decided to try the extra strength one. both worked great with soothing the pain, discomfort and some swelling (also used prep-h witch hazel wipes to clean the area before application). Remember, this is just to minimize/help with the symptoms. You still need to make changes your diet, hemorrhoids don't just GO away, they just calm down until the next flare up Read more

Edit: The fissures came back. So, I tried again. This time it didn’t burn much. Probably I got used to it. This time I found more relief and the pain was gone in 3-5 days. So, I am giving it a 4 star now. TL;DR: It burns like crazy initially. But then it works well. —————-////————— I took a supplement and my worst constipation began about 2 months back. It caused painful tears and fissures. Oh boy! I couldn’t even sit in my office chair without huge discomfort. So, I bought this seeing all the positive reviews. I applied before sleeping and after bowel movement. It didn’t work at all. Initially, I thought the burning would go away but it didn’t. I wait 2-3 days to adjust and then stopped entirely. Tips: I started sitting on slightly hot water for 10-15 minutes each day. The heat relaxes the hemorrhoids and promotes healing. I cut out all red meat and had fibers (mostly fruits, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple etc.) in all my meals. It was a nightmare but after 2 weeks, I am okay now. No pain while bowel movements and sitting down. Old and proven techniques always work along with a good diet to solve your constipation. Try to manage the main issue than using external sources like this cream. Read more

Preparation H Hemorrhoidal Cream is a true lifesaver when it comes to fast, effective relief from the discomfort of hemorrhoids. I was dealing with irritation, itching, and swelling, and this cream provided noticeable relief within minutes of applying it. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it doesn’t leave a greasy residue. What I appreciate most is how quickly it soothes burning and reduces inflammation — especially after long hours on my feet or sitting. After consistent use for just a couple of days, I saw a significant improvement in both pain and swelling. It contains phenylephrine, which helps shrink swollen tissue, and other ingredients that calm and protect the skin. There’s a slight medicinal scent, but nothing overpowering. If you’re struggling with discomfort from hemorrhoids, I highly recommend keeping a tube of this on hand. It’s affordable, accessible, and really works when you need fast relief. Pros: Fast-acting relief Reduces swelling and irritation Easy to apply Available over-the-counter Cons: Temporary solution (may not prevent recurrence) Read more
