Cold Compresses

for Haemorrhoids

Applying ice packs or cold wet cloths to the anal area to reduce pain, swelling, and itching during acute haemorrhoid flares.

How it works

Cold reduces local blood flow and inflammatory mediator activity, temporarily constricting swollen tissue and numbing nerve endings.

What to watch for

Wrap ice in a cloth — do not apply directly to skin. Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes. Provides symptom relief only; does not treat the underlying venous problem.
