Witch Hazel and cotton squares (about 1/3 the cost of Tucks) , clean the area first thing in the morning and before bed helps keep thing comfortable down there. Ben Gay/Icy Hot are to be avoided at all costs, got a little Icy Hot down there one time and talk about lighting your fire.
LOL!
Ya think!
Wife put Icy Hot on her lower back one night... A bit later she got frisky, and reached down to start something. Didn't take long to start feeling a bit "warm"... Yikes . It went from bad to worse PDQ. Had to go shower!
She thought it was funny as hell. After that, I'd ask her if she washed her hands!
I had to have the knife treatment many years ago. Before they got too bad (eights on a scale of of one to ten) I got relief from sitting in a bath, about as hot as you can stand it. That will shrink them temporarily. When the bleeding becomes intolerable, have the operation. It has been nearly forty years, with no problem. Only thing is, after the operation, you will be told to keep things open, to avoid scar tissue. I did not, and now I am a man of lesser caliber.
Probably go and see the doctor. Have the prostate checked too. Rather have a bit of embarrassment than a more serious issue that could be corrected with early detection. Just don't go to Paddler.

Gus, go to a doctor. I'm 62 years old, a year or so ago I started experiencing various bowel irregularities- itching, occasional urgency and minor bleeding ect, I attributed my symptoms to aging, possibly hemorrhoids and for one reason or the other didn't go to the doctor until about Easter. Went in for a check up; diagnosis-colorectal cancer. I asked the doctor how long he thought I had had the cancer and he said probably 10 yrs. Luckily, my cancer had not spread to any lymph nodes or other organs. I just completed 5 wks. of daily chemo/radiation treatments and spent, 3 painful wks. healing up from internal and external blistering caused by the "therapy." So, I encourage any readers in the 50-60 year old age group to take the steps recommended by the health professionals and get yourselves checked out, regardless of how healthy you feel, especially if you are experiencing any type of gastro intestinal or urinary irregularities. -
Good evening good friend Gus. Sorry to get into "this" late. Workin' for a living cramps a fellows style so. That, and a church meeting. One thing, there're all behind you now.

I used to work with a lot of old truck drivers. They claimed witch hazel is the ticket for relief.
That is the main ingredient in Tucks wipes. It works. I tried to get my Doc to re-issue my prescription for Hemorrhoid cream and he advised Tucks works better, I use the Walmart cheap ones with the same stuff in them..
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
drink a lot of liquid daily eat more fiber/veggies use a stool softenor/pill use some miralax, helps a lot miralax basically draws water into the intestines which makes the stools softer, easier to pass. the wax inserts suppositories can help during an attack of them.
Reach down there with a razor knife and cut them damn things out!
Heard of a guy doing that. He damn near bled to death.
You need to cauterize! Fireplace poker ought to do it.
Or like a cowboy movie I once saw. Slosh some whiskey in the wound before taking a big pull. Yank the bullet out of your Colt .45 round with your teeth, dump the powder on the wound and fire it up.
Or use the modern alternative.
