Anusol Cream provides effective soothing relief from the discomfort and pain associated with internal and external piles, anal itching and fissures (where your skin is split and cracked). Its unique formula is designed to reduce swelling, soothe itching and protect delicate skin.
Although the symptoms vary from person to person, the following scale should help you identify how mild or serious your condition is. This is a guide only: if you think you have piles, you should speak with your GP or pharmacist ā especially if you've not suffered from piles before.
Mild sufferers
- Itching and soreness around your bottom
- A dragging sensation in your back passage
- Discomfort or pain while you're going to the loo
- Bright red spots of blood on the toilet paper after you've been to the loo
- Note: If you're routinely bleeding when you go to the loo we advise you seek medical advice from your GP
Moderate sufferers
- Occasional sharp pains up your bottom
- Discomfort sitting down
- A bulging or lumpy feeling just inside your back passage
- Lump(s) or swellings protruding from your bottom that can be pushed back inside
More severe sufferers
- Hard lumps or swellings protruding from your bottom that won't stay tucked inside when pushed back in.
Piles are simply swollen blood vessels in your back passage. They can be internal or external.
What causes piles?
Piles are caused by increased pressure in the blood vessels in your bottom. This can be due to constipation, pregnancy and childbirth, lifting heavy loads and being overweight.
Apply to the affected area at night, in the morning and after each bowel movement.
