If the haemorrhoids are laready causing pain, they are likely to be thrombosed or strangulated, and haemorrhoidal creams will not provide relief. You need to see a surgeon or proctologist to have that haemorrhoids treated with banding or sclerotherapy.

First you must have soft stools. A medicine like Metamucil is helpful there. Hot sitz bathes and anti inflammatory ointments with local anesthetics can be used. If there are fissures or ulcers surgery may be required.

There are 2 types of hemorrhoids. Internal and external. Internal is the one which causes more bleeding and pain. There are 4 degrees (stages )of hemorrhoids. Please consult a Surgeon for which stage you are in. If it is 1st degree, you could just get cured by regular medicines and drugs. For stage 2, it could be rectified by banding, Infra red coagulation, laser etc. For stage 3, surgery is a must. In which Surgeon may coagulate or cut the hanging hemorrhoids. The best treatment for late 3rd and early 4th stage hemorrhoids, is : Hemorrhoidal Staplers. All the earlier methods, the patient will suffer from lot of pain before treatment. Even after treatment, he will recover only around 15-20 days later and cannot go for work. But, if staplers are to be used.. which can be done if the patient is in that stage ONLY, the patient can get back to work in 2-3 days and will be completely relieved of pain. This is because, the stapler removes a band of mucosa and sub-mucosa, pulls the two circular cut ends together and applies circular staples. Since, this procedure is done in a no-pain area, patient is comfortable after surgery. But, all other surgical methods are done within 2 cm from the anus, and hence it takes time for relief.
Hope this helps. But, see a sugeon to know the stage you are in and insist for stapler surgery. Believe me, you will have a tremendous comfort.
