DC Hemorrhoids

You have been evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today for hemorrhoids. You were given a prescription for topical cream and stool softeners to help with your symptoms. Use a sitz bath and rest to help control your pain. Drink plenty of fluids. 

Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one.  If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.


Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening pain, worsening bleeding in your stool, recurrent vomiting, blood in vomit, shortness of breath, fevers or any other concerning symptoms. 
Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
