I've been struggling with hemorrhoids for a while now, and my doctor prescribed Lidocaine 5% Anorectal Cream 15gm to help with the pain and discomfort. I've used it for a few days now, and while it does numb the area, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone else tried this? How did it work for you? I'm especially concerned about the serious side effects listed on the package. Is it common to experience these, or is it pretty rare? Any insights or tips would be much appreciated!

I never had any issues with it. I was more worried about the side effects than anything else, but I didn't experience anything bad. If you do experience side effects, definitely call a doctor. You can also report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-332-1088 or online. It's better to be safe. The relief was almost instant.

I've had lidocaine cream before. Just remember, more is not better, folks. Stick to the instructions and you should be fine. General advice

Be careful using this stuff, because when it goes numb, you can't really tell. I found out how badly I was irritated when I felt the burn after. Use it, but be careful! Use the amount your doctor prescribes and not more.
