5. Gentle Wash
If you don’t have access to a bath or you don’t feel able to submerge yourself, then a quicker way to get some light relief is to apply a warm flannel gently to the area. Regularly, cautiously washing the area will help to remove any blood and any feces that you might not have been able to wipe away due to the hemorrhoids.
Try not to aggravate the hemorrhoids by making sure to dab and pad rather than rubbing and wiping. Add a little salt for antiseptic benefits.
