Discharge //

You have been evaluated in the emergency department today for hemorrhoids. You were given a prescription for topical cream and stool softeners to help with your symptoms. Please eat a diet high in fiber. Use a sitz bath and rest to help control your pain (instructions can be found at http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/sitz-bath). Drink plenty of fluids. Please follow up with your primary care physician within two days. 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 of local clinics 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.
