In my mid to late twenties I got into mountain biking and began doing it professionally. After spending hours on my bike daily, I began to have problems with my hemorrhoids and it was unbearable to ride my mountain bike let alone sit down. In order for me to be competitive I had to turn to some easy ideas to help with the cure of my hemorrhoids. So I used one of the most popular over the counter creams out on the market today, Preparation-H. Preparation-H is comes in gel, cream, and suppository forms for whatever type of relief you are looking for.

All I did was follow the basic directions on the back of the box with applying the cream two times daily and staying away from the activity or activities that were causing this discomfort. It took only 2 weeks in applying the daily cream to be able to get back on my mountain bike and begin my bike work outs to get back into shape. I would definitely advise people who have hemorrhoids to first start with the basics of over the counter medications to see if they work before they head to the doctors and get something more expensive.
