Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Chlortetracycline eye ointment generally cannot treat hemorrhoids. This medication is used for bacterial infectious conjunctivitis. For hemorrhoids, it can only provide preventive and protective effects, but cannot promote blood circulation, relieve pain, or reduce swelling. Patients may apply special hemorrhoid ointments or suppositories to the rectal and anal areas; after using them for a period of time, better results can be achieved.
