Q: Does this fully get rid of hemorrhoids ?

submitted by Kayla - 1 month ago

  • A: Thanks for your question, Kayla. Preparation H Multi-Symptom Relief Cream does not fully get rid of hemorrhoids. It works by temporarily shrinking hemorrhoidal tissue to help protect it and make bowel movements less painful. Additionally, the ingredient pramoxine (a local anesthetic) helps relieve soreness, burning, itching, and discomfort.

Very disappointing customer service

Gave me a little to no options for an item that was not available. It happened to be the one item that I really needed. Reallyshould be able to offer more options when an item is not available like shipping. Indicated not available in my area I live in the Metropolitanarea. There should not have been a reason why shipping was not available. This is why I don't hardly ever shop at target.

Preparation H

This is highly effective and adds much needed comfort. It's easy to use when following directions. Doesn't take long for it to take effect. It comes in a cardboard box. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who may need it.

Not to fix the problem, but definitely to help with the pain and itching

I like this product to help you soothe the pain and the itching, but it’s not enough for taking away the hemorrhoid. But it’s definitely a good addition.

Target messed up, but still good product

These work very well for me when I need them. Problem is that the last batch I got from Target was melted, and broke apart when I opened them. But that's Target's fault, not a flaw in the product itself.

Ointment is better

I wanted a less greasy texture and tried this cream but I notice it’s not as effective in relief as the ointment.

Soothing Relief

This cream works well to help ease the discomfort and pain of hemorrhoids. It has a nice creamy texture that's easy to apply. The added aloe helps smooth the skin. It's a great option to help shrink them as well as protect the skin.

Definitely recommend

(Note: I only had a mild case, so YMMV) I used this cream only twice externally, and it healed my hemorrhoid within a couple days. Easy to apply, no burning, no oiliness. Within 2 hours of applying the first time, the hemorrhoid already shrank! Definitely recommend.

Effective Relief

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hemorrhoidal cream was unscented and a thick consistency. It came with a cap to allow easy application for hard to reach places. It was effective at relieving discomfort.

My Go To Hemorrhoid Relief

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know what I would do without Preparation H. Unfortunately I have suffered from hemorrhoids for many years and I have tried many products to find any type of relief. There is nothing better than Preparation H for all of my hemorrhoids issues. It’s very soothing and it helps with the itching and burning almost immediately. I rely on it to get me through these rough times and it has never disappointed me.

Can’t try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t realize this was for your butt when I signed up to review it. I don’t have problems in that area therefore can’t use this. I’ve used other prep h products before and I can say they are a good brand with quality products.
