Most hemorrhoids are easy to treat at home. However, if you have severe pain, fever, or bloody bowel movements, these could be signs of infection. In this case, it's best to visit urgent care right away so they can prescribe you antibiotics and ease any concerns you may have.   Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins that develop in or around the anus and rectum. Even if symptoms improve on their own after a few days of home treatment (with plenty of rest and hydration), it is sometimes necessary to contact the closest urgent care directly: If you have severe symptoms and treatment such as ice packs, stool softeners, or pain medication persists. You may also need to see your doctor if you notice blood in your stool or toilet paper.   Visit Prima Urgent Care for specialized and comprehensive care. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.
