10Ice Packs
Another simple way to alleviate inflammation and pain caused by hemorrhoids is to apply cold or ice packs. You can directly place the packs on the affected area when seating. This treatment is especially helpful during a flare-up as the ice would temporarily help numb the pain and reduce swelling. It is important to wrap the ices in a small cloth or towel to prevent them from burning or damaging your skin. Leave the pack for at least 15 minutes and do it on an hourly basis to get the best results. [10]
