tucks

Tucks is a brand of medicated pads commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with external hemorrhoids and perianal irritation. The pads are typically saturated with witch hazel, an astringent that can help reduce itching, burning, and swelling when applied to the affected area. They are usually sold individually wrapped and are intended for external use only.

Usage and application are straightforward: after cleansing the area, a Tucks pad is applied gently to the perianal region and left in place as needed or as directed by the product label. They are not intended for internal use or insertion into the rectum, and should not be applied to broken skin or mucous membranes. Users should avoid contact with the eyes and discontinue use if irritation or an allergic reaction occurs. It is generally recommended to consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond a few days, worsen, or if there is significant bleeding or severe pain.

Regulatory and safety notes: Tucks products are sold over the counter and are used as a self-care option for managing hemorrhoidal symptoms. As with any topical product, some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to witch hazel or other components; users should read labels carefully and discontinue use if adverse effects occur. Keeping the product out of reach of children is advised. If there is any doubt about symptoms or proper treatment, seeking medical advice is recommended.
