The itching, the burning, the pain!  You want relief and you want it fast!

Hemorrhoids are not only painful and uncomfortable, they are embarrassing.  Finding relief at home and fast is what you want.

What will give me temporary relief?

If you want a fast but temporary relief, ice will help.  The cold constricts the veins, with in turn reduces the hemorrhoid size for a short amount of time.

So…sit in a bucket of ice?

Picture that one for a minute — at least you chuckled through the pain!

No, you don’t have to sit in a bucket — of course, you can if you want to!  But you might find these methods easier:

• Use a cold compress
• Take a cold sitz bath
• Use a shower head to spray cold water

How often and how long?

Hemorrhoid relief with ice won’t last long, so you’ll want to do it often.  Icing the area for ten minutes every hour or so will work well.

What about this Cryotherapy I hear about?

Cryotherapy is cold controlled therapy.  It can be used at home, in private.

Searching the internet will give you a wealth of information and relief ideas.

There is relief to be had; you deserve it!
