Does Anusol Ointment treat the cause of piles?

Anusol Ointment helps relieve symptoms such as itching, irritation and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids. Addressing contributing factors such as constipation and straining may also help manage symptoms.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels around the rectum and anus that can cause itching, discomfort, soreness and irritation. Common contributing factors include constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, prolonged sitting and low dietary fibre intake.

Alongside treatment with Anusol Ointment, maintaining good hydration, increasing fibre intake and avoiding excessive straining may help support symptom relief. If symptoms persist, frequently recur or are accompanied by bleeding, it is important to seek medical advice for further assessment.

FAQs

What is Anusol Ointment used for?

Anusol Ointment is used for the relief of internal and external haemorrhoids (piles) and other minor ano-rectal conditions such as anal itching. It helps soothe irritated tissues, provide a protective barrier and improve comfort during flare-ups. The ointment can be applied directly to the affected area and may also be used internally using the supplied applicator.

How long does Anusol Ointment take to work?

Many people experience soothing relief shortly after application, particularly for symptoms such as itching and irritation. The time required for symptoms to improve can vary depending on the severity of the haemorrhoids and whether contributing factors such as constipation or straining are present. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your pharmacist or GP.

Can Anusol Ointment be used for internal piles?

Yes. Anusol Ointment can be used for internal haemorrhoids with the enclosed applicator. The applicator helps deliver the ointment directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief from discomfort and irritation associated with internal piles.

Can Anusol Ointment be used for external piles?

Yes. The ointment can be applied directly to external haemorrhoids to help soothe irritation, itching and soreness. Its protective formulation also helps reduce discomfort caused by friction and irritation around the anal area.

Can Anusol Ointment help with anal itching?

Yes. Anusol Ointment is indicated for the relief of anal itching associated with minor ano-rectal conditions. However, persistent itching may have other causes and should be assessed by a healthcare professional if symptoms continue despite treatment.

Can I use Anusol Ointment every day?

Use Anusol Ointment according to the directions provided in the patient information leaflet or as advised by your healthcare professional. If symptoms require prolonged treatment or repeatedly return, further medical assessment may be appropriate.

What causes haemorrhoids?

Haemorrhoids can develop due to increased pressure around the rectum and anus. Common contributing factors include constipation, straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, prolonged sitting, obesity and low dietary fibre intake. Lifestyle changes may help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

What can make piles worse?

Constipation, straining during bowel movements, dehydration, low fibre intake and spending prolonged periods sitting on the toilet may worsen haemorrhoid symptoms. Addressing these factors alongside appropriate treatment may help improve comfort and support recovery.

Can Anusol Ointment cure haemorrhoids permanently?

Anusol Ointment helps relieve symptoms associated with haemorrhoids but does not prevent them from returning. Long-term management may involve dietary and lifestyle measures aimed at reducing pressure on the rectal area and supporting healthy bowel habits.

What is the difference between Anusol Cream and Anusol Ointment?

Both products are designed to relieve haemorrhoid symptoms. The ointment has a richer, more protective consistency that helps lubricate and protect irritated tissues, while some people may prefer the texture of a cream. The choice often depends on personal preference and symptom type.

When should I see a doctor about piles?

Seek medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen, recur frequently, or if you experience rectal bleeding, severe pain, unexplained weight loss or changes in bowel habits. These symptoms require professional assessment to rule out other causes.

Can haemorrhoids go away on their own?

Mild haemorrhoids may improve over time, particularly when contributing factors such as constipation and straining are addressed. Maintaining good hydration, increasing fibre intake and using appropriate treatments may help support symptom relief and recovery.
