What's the difference between internal and external hemorrhoids?

There are two types of hemorrhoids, internal and external. Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the rectum, and external hemorrhoids develop under the skin around the anus.

Is it safe to use PREPARATION H if I have an existing medical condition or am taking OTC or prescription medicines?

If you wish to use PREPARATION H and have any medical condition or are taking an over-the-counter or prescription medication, you should first speak with your healthcare provider as listed on the label.

How many times a day can I use Preparation H Ointment?

Apply to the affected area up to 4 times daily, especially at night, in the morning and after each bowel movement. It can be applied to both external and internal areas (with an applicator).

How long do I need to wait before I can use the toilet after applying the ointment?

Avoid having bowel movements for one to three hours after applying the ointment

Is there an option that doesn't require you to touch your butt?

We get it: you want to treat your butt, not touch it. Our new Rapid Relief with Lidocaine Spray and Soothing Relief Cooling Spray allows you to relieve your hemorrhoid symptoms from a distance.
