ohhhhh yes, actually ive been having this issue myself lately. yesterday it seemed to disappear, but it has a lot to do with my eating habits. Look at the FODMAP diet for people with IBS.

So a little update. I spoke to my GP last Friday and he gave me some proctosedyl ointment. I had some proctosedyl suppositories back in Jan but i couldn't get on with them so only used them for 3 days. The ointment doesn't seem to be helping and if anything i seem to be feeling itchy which i never had before. I've asked for a telephone consultation and he's calling tomorrow. How long can you use proctosedyl for? What other prescription ointments/creams have people used? Could itching be a sign of healing?
Thanks
I've been on proctosedyl for 4 months before. Bottom bled for half a year, with varying degrees of pain. Had endoscopy too. I later found that Germoloids Hydrocortisone was as good, and is available over the counter.
My problems were solved with daily prune juice (Sunsweet, never the supermarket brand as it tastes foul) and lots of fruit and veg. Eventually that stopped working and I have now switched to a product called Benefibre (powder available in supermarkets in the vitamin aisle) which has made going to the toilet so much more pleasant, and thus the piles were able to disappear eventually.
I do not suffer from Health Anxiety, but I have supported my wife through 12 years of battling with it.
P.S. Just remembered that I found it helped to be scrupulously clean. Use wet wipes, and even shower after going to the loo (gentle cold water gives wonderful relief). I got into the shower every day for those 6 months just for that cold water rinse.

Spoke to my GP yesterday and he said i can carry on using the proctosedyl ointment for another 2 weeks. I don't seem to be getting as much watery mucus but did have a lot on Wednesday.
Has anybody else only ever had watery/mucus discharge and no blood from piles?
I get mucus without bleeding. I don't get bleeding much at all but mucus much more often. I've found bleeding is more when you've been doing a lot of straining, scratching them (an automatic disadvantage brickies everywhere ) or wiping too much/too hard/rough paper, etc.
Mine were problematic in the early years but ever since then they are much more settled and don't give me the same problems with flare ups or length of time with symptoms.
The itching maybe because you are putting something onto a sore area. It could even be healing? As long as it's not unbearable itching the GP probably thinks it will stop.
I always found using things like creams meant more weeping anyway and along with that comes itching.
