User Reviews for hydrocortisone acetate rectal

So far I feel like it has helped with the itchiness, but it has given me horrible stomach pains and my stomach gurgles and I have to suddenly use the restroom and sometimes I get nauseas like I’m going to throw up at the same time. And most of the time the fecal matter is very small and bloody. Every once in a while it’s diarrhea. Overall not very satisfied, hopefully I can find some relief soon because it’s so uncomfortable to live life worrying about how close a bathroom is or if I can make it in time.Read More Read Less

After holding my stool I ended up aggravating internal hemorrhoids. I had burning, sharp pain and this help to obtain some relief after 1x wk. I still have another wk to go, I’m hoping with diet change and meds would help

First day using it , Had hemoroids all my life til now i got a really bad external hemorroid, no paid no bleeding but bump still there hope this helps getting ride of that bump

It works for a few hours but then I'm back to being itchy. I also have to wear a pad or liner because it leaks, especially when passing gas. I've been taking for a week and I'm not very impressed. I was expecting more relief than this!

So far it has helped alot. I am 75. I will see what happens when I stop using them. I am also drinking alot of water. It is hard to stay on this regiment but I know its helping and I do have to have a colonoscopy! Not looking forward to that!

Been using this product for also 3 weeks. My pain is still there. I stop using it , very frustrating. started using new medication. Not a good product.

Didnt get rid of the pain or burning at all. Didnt seem to effect it at all. (Internal hemorrhoid is what Dr is thinking it was). I was hoping it would numb it for a hit to get relief, but it did nothing... been on it for a week.

Had a botched hemorrhoid procedure and suffered for a month before asking my primary dr for another perscription of these. Because I remembered they helped after a colonoscopy last year. I had to ask for them myself even though dr Frankenstein ruined my backside and left me in severe pain. A colo rectal surgeon seen me and has me continuing to use them. They seem to be helping as day by day I see a difference in my pain levels and I’m glad they are because I’m finally getting relief and having more pain free moments than I have had in the last 2 months. I cannot use the over the counter kind from preparation h as the ingredients caused me to hurt and burn severely. These things have been a life saver literally. The butt has to be one of the most painful places to have to have surgery or to have any kind of medical problem with and I am so thankful no matter how expensive they are that these exist. I’d cut off my right hand to make the pain in my backside stop. Read More Read Less

shrank my hemorrhoids but didn't eliminate them. Hemorrhoids returned shortly after finishing the course of medication. Expensive. Helps to warm the suppositories in your hand before inserting.

I was skeptical, but after this condition - both mild and not-so-mild - for several years....I am, pun intended, relieved. Today is my last day and I do wonder about the long-term efficacy.

mmmmm

I found it painful given the circumstances, but literally tried everything and this is the only thing that helped at all. It eased the pain enough so that I could sleep. The medication was very expensive and not covered under insrance which was disappointinng.

So far the package is hard to open, I need to keep a pair of scissors close by and even then it's hard to get out once you cut it because it's so brittle. My doctor said to only use them at bedtime and use the cream when I'm awake. Normally I am fine when I go right to sleep after inserting it but tonight I had some things to do. Not even 10 minutes after I put it in I started feeling like I had to have a bowel movement and could not wait. Then finally when I did go it was a mixture of solid and liquid when it is normally not like that and my abdomen kept making strange noises. I also had a lot of burning and I normally don't have that. I don't know if it was from the medicine or just sore from the wet BM. I know Hydrocortisone is supposed to dry up things, maybe that's why there was burning?Read More Read Less

Reduced pain and stingy discomfort

Shrank the hemmoriod in a week

On this medicine 2x daily for 1 week.. to be repeated if bleeding returns. This is completely easy to use, with minimal awkwardness when inserting, but it makes me extremely emotional. Temper snaps easily and crying everytime I turn around. I will be happy when I'm done with this round!

no relief in pain, burning and itching

After a week's usage I have no detectable improvement in inflammation or pain of affected area. Moreover, this product is much too expensive.

Has not done much for me.
