Question: Can this give me a urinary tract infection!?
Can you get a urinary tract infection from putting Preparation H on a hemorrhoid!? I want to put some on my hemorrhoid but am afraid that as I sit down throughout the day and move the cream might move towards my vaginal area and might get in it and give me a UTI!. Is this possible!? I had a UTI once and it was a very painful and annoying experience so I am very careful not to have it again!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should be good to go as the cream doesn't just sit on the affected area but is absorbed entirely!. Outside of that, as you're well aware, the ureter is at the complete opposite end of the vagina from your anus so it's really unlikely that, should your sweat carry ointment from the back to the front, you'll get a UTI!. In addition to how far it's got to travel Preparation H isn't that kind of irritant!. Just keep the area cleaned up and tidy and you'll be right as rain before you know it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No!. But, you might be more comfortable if, instead of the cream, you buy Preparation H suppositories that you insert in your rectum!. Then you won't have to worry about the cream going all over and to the front!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, I think the chance for that happening is slim!. I have used the cream before and as long as you don't use too much and make sure the cream is completely rubbed in I doubt you need to worry about a UTI!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
