I am currently using this product for hemmroids and an anal fissure. It does burn a little for a few moments after using it, but it works great to relieve the pain from painful hemmroids and fissures. Published: September 11, 2008 ::
Did not help at all, over the counter treatments worked better. Published: November 30, 2008 ::
I currently have an anal fissure which feels like I'm giving birth through my rectum each time I have a bowel movement. This is the most pain I've ever gone through, and it's EVERYDAY! Proctofoam really hasn't made much of a difference for me. I still am in excruciating pain. I feel like the topical lidocaine the doc gave me numbed the area better. I hope this helps!

After having my baby I suffered from thrombosis hemorrhoids and I really didn’t think that there was a medication for my problem and that I would have to have surgery. Luckily my doctor prescribed this medication and it really worked miracle. It really took a lot of suffering away. Published: October 08, 2008 ::
