Frequently Asked Questions
How to use Germoloids for internal or external haemorrhoids?
For external haemorrhoids, apply the cream directly to the affected area. For internal haemorrhoids, screw the applicator nozzle onto the tube and smear some of the cream on the outside of the nozzle to ease application. Carefully insert the applicator into the opening of the anus. Gently squeeze the tube whilst slowly withdrawing the nozzle so that the cream moves gently up the anus.
How to reduce the occurrence of haemorrhoids?
Eat a high-fibre diet, drink plenty of fluids, go to the toilet immediately when you need to pass stools and exercise regularly to help reduce the likelihood of haemorrhoids occurring.
What causes piles?
Actions which can cause piles include constipation, pushing too hard when pooing, heavy lifting or pregnancy.
What is the difference between Germoloids cream and ointment?
Both cream and ointment have the same active ingredients and proportions. The ointment solution is thinner and the cream has a thicker consistency.
