What is Perinal Cutaneous spray used for?

Perinal spray is a topical treatment for external haemorrhoids (piles), which contains the active ingredients hydrocortisone and lidocaine (a local anaesthetic agent).

It is sprayed on the outside of the anus to relieve itching and discomfort caused by piles.

With Prescription Doctor's confidential online service, you can get a private prescription of Perinal Spray online from a UK based pharmacy via a fast next-day delivery.

We ensure all items are packaged in discreet packaging which gives no indication of the contents of the parcel.


What are Haemorrhoids?

Haemorrhoids (piles) are small lumps in or around the anus, which develop due to increased pressure in the surrounding blood vessels, resulting in swelling and inflammation.

In many cases, haemorrhoids are painless and go away on their own after a few days. Other cases may be painful or discomforting. In these instances, you should speak to your doctor about available treatments.

It is possible to be unaware of the condition, but they can cause several unpleasant symptoms, including:

  • Bleeding after passing stool
  • Distended lumps hanging from the anus
  • Itching around the anus (anal pruritus)
  • Mucus discharge after passing stool
  • Soreness, redness and swelling around the anus

Diagnosis of haemorrhoids is usually made based on the physical symptoms alone.

If it is the first time you are experiencing haemorrhoids, or if you experience any rectal bleeding, you should see your doctor as soon as possible.

The main cause of haemorrhoids is often associated with excessive pressure exerted upon the blood vessels surrounding the anal area.

There are numerous factors which contribute to the development of haemorrhoids, including:

  • Age
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Chronic diarrhoea
  • Extended periods of sitting
  • Heavy lifting
  • Pregnancy
  • Straining when constipated

There are a number of ways you can prevent haemorrhoids, including drinking plenty of water, eating a healthy and balanced diet enriched in fibre, and exercising regularly.


How does Perinal spray work?

Perinal spray contains two active ingredients: Hydrocortisone and Lidocaine.

Hydrocortisone (0.2%) is a corticosteroid (steroid) which reduces inflammation. It does this by preventing cells from releasing chemicals which cause an inflammatory response.

The other ingredient, Lidocaine (1%), is a local anaesthetic which numbs the area it is applied to.

Together, both active ingredients work to provide effective relief, by numbing the affected area and reducing the inflammation.


How to use Perinal spray?

Before using the spray for the first time, you will need to prime it. To prime the spray, hold the spray away from you and depress the top once or twice until you see a fine mist being produced.

Once primed, your spray is ready to use.

To use the Perinal spray:

  1. Wash the affected area and dry it gently.
  2. Separate your buttocks, if necessary, and spray once onto the afflicted area.
  3. Wash your hands after each application.
  4. Repeat the previous steps up to three times a day if necessary

What should I do if I forget to use Perinal Spray?

If you forget to use Perinal Spray, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed and continue to use Perinal Spray as you would normally.

Do not use more Perinal Spray to make up for a dose you missed.

Do not use Perinal Spray more than three times a day.

What should I do if I use more Perinal Spray than I should?

If you use more Perinal Spray than you should, go to your nearest hospital's casualty department for help. Remember to take any remaining medicine and the packaging with you so that doctors know exactly what you have used.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drink alcohol while using Perinal Spray?

You should avoid or limit your alcohol consumption while being treated for haemorrhoids. Alcohol can cause dehydration, leading to constipation which worsens the symptoms of haemorrhoids.

Can I use Perinal Spray while pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, intend on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor for further advice before using Perinal Spray.

How is Perinal Spray different from haemorrhoid creams?

Unlike haemorrhoids creams, which require contact with the haemorrhoids themselves, Perinal Spray can be applied without touching the haemorrhoids. The spray also makes it easier to apply in hard to reach places.

If you are unsure which haemorrhoids treatment is right for you, speak to your doctor.

Can I use Perinal Spray to treat external piles, and a cream to treat internal piles?

If you have both internal and external haemorrhoids (piles), you should choose a treatment which can treat both at the same time. You should not use two separate haemorrhoid treatments at the same time without first speaking to your doctor.

How long can I use Perinal Spray for?

You can use Perinal Spray for 1 week. If your haemorrhoids persist after this time, speak to your doctor.

What should I do if Perinal Spray doesn't clear my haemorrhoids?

If Perinal Spray does not work for you, speak to your doctor for advice. They will be able to determine another suitable course of treatment.
