For Hemorrhoids "I have had a bad case of hemorrhoids for 6 months now and have tried everything OTC, even a few trips to the ER! I finally was referred to a general surgeon who said while yes, I have some hemorrhoids, I also have an anal fissure. He prescribed Proctofoam and so far, so good! No pain, no bleeding! My insurance did not cover this, and I had to pay $135, but it has been worth it! When I go back to the doctor in 10 days, I will update my review and rating!"

For Hemorrhoids "It seemed to work at first and ended up getting a refill and using it for almost a month, but it's been a couple of weeks since my refill ran out and I have blood on the toilet paper again. Maybe it's my own fault for not eating enough fiber while I was using Proctofoam, but still, it's frustrating."

For Hemorrhoids "After struggling for several months with external thrombosed horrible hemorrhoids, I finally got an exam and was prescribed Proctofoam. Within 48 hours, my body was happy. Hemorrhoid gone, no itching or bleeding! So worth the uncomfortable anal exam."
