For Hemorrhoids "This is a great product. I have run the whole course of home cures, doctor visits, constant pain in the A** all this year. My latest doctor prescribed ProctoFoam, and the first use was a Godsend. Relief was instant. Burning, itch, and pain faded away. Slept so good."

For Hemorrhoids "Have had hemorrhoids for over 40 years, since first pregnancy. Tried all kinds of OTC products that never worked. Once I found Proctofoam, the burning, itching, and swelling was relieved within 10 minutes of application. Only several applications necessary for very long-term results (months to years). I won't use anything else. Insurance covered it years ago, then I couldn't find it any longer in California pharmacies. If anyone knows where to currently (2/2017) get it, give me a shout."

For Hemorrhoids "I'm in my early 30s, and I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 3 years now. I have had multiple flares, with a few visits to the ER. I have used a few hemorrhoid medications, and nothing has helped as much as Proctofoam. I feel the pressure go down, itchiness, and size of the veins shrink within minutes. I highly recommend it. Thumbs up."

For Hemorrhoids "After a week of suffering constant pain, itching, and burning, I finally made a doctor appointment, and he prescribed this. Went from constant pain to practically pain-free within about 10 minutes! I can't say enough good about this product. I just wish I had gone to the doctor earlier in the week!"

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."

For Hemorrhoids "I have a small, internal hemorrhoid that caused my whole rectum to become inflamed, itchy, and sensitive. I tried all the over-the-counter meds: Prep H, hydrocortisone, antibiotics, antihistamines. Finally, I went to the doctor and got Proctofoam. This is great. It's been 3 days, and the swelling is gone, itching is gone, and I can have a bowel motion and wipe without pain or itchiness. I would recommend this for anyone with anal itching. It is a godsend. I use it once at night and in the morning. It is a bit odd to use, as you have to fill a small syringe (supplied) to apply internally through the rectum, but the effect is immediate and soothing. No, I don't work for the drug company, I am just very happy this product is available."
