About this Service
Clinically reviewed by licensed pharmacistsHemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that cause pain, itching, discomfort, and sometimes bleeding. They are extremely common — affecting roughly half of adults at some point — and very treatable. Under Ontario's Minor Ailments program, our pharmacists provide completely discreet assessment and can prescribe topical treatments including corticosteroid creams, suppositories, and astringents that effectively relieve symptoms.
All hemorrhoid consultations are conducted privately. Our pharmacists will also advise on dietary changes (high-fibre diet, adequate hydration), sitz baths, and stool softeners to address the underlying causes and prevent recurrence.
For hemorrhoids that are prolapsed (protruding externally), thrombosed (blood clot), or causing significant rectal bleeding — or any time there is uncertainty about the source of rectal bleeding — it is essential to see a family doctor. Our onsite family doctors at TDL MD Clinic (Dr. Tony D. Luong, 905-712-3998) and Saldanha Health Centre (Dr. Saldanha, 905-890-8183) can provide a thorough examination and arrange appropriate procedures or specialist referrals. Both are co-located with Peel Best Pharmacy at 550 Matheson Blvd W, Unit 106, Mississauga.

When do I need to see a doctor for hemorrhoids?
