Medical Device to Treat Internal and External Hemorrhoids, Without The Dramatic Effects of Surgery.

I am what you call a chronic sufferer – someone who is trying to avoid surgery. It is – quite literally – a pain in the butt. So when I found this product, I was both skeptical and open to anything that might make my life a little bit easier. I was also fairly desperate, so I took the chance and purchased Anuice. That was over a year ago. In the time that I have had this – device – I have used it at the first sign of hemorrhoid problems. Each time I have used it, I have avoided the most severe complications – prolapse, severe pain, etc. Within 24 hours, it has typically shrunk back inside and I can go about my life as if it didn't exist. This is a really big deal for someone who experiences chronic problems in this area. Now, in the spirit of disclosure, I am going to be completely upfront and tell you that it is not comfortable or particularly enjoyable to use this device. It is extremely cold and takes a couple of minutes to settle into the feeling that occurs when you have an ice cube up your butt. That just isn't a normal feeling for most of us. But I have found that setting the timer and simply breathing – often doing something distracting like reading or playing on my phone – go a long way in getting through the handful of minutes required for this treatment. It is hands-down easier and less painful than dealing with an angry hemorrhoid for several days at a time. One of the obstacles I faced initially was reconciling the fact that I would use this device multiple times over the course of many months. Despite the fact that it is washable, it just felt unsanitary to me. I addressed this with condoms – I simply slip one onto the device before insertion, add a little bit of lube, and we are ready to go! I often use a latex glove as well – that allows me to easily slip it off and not feel like I am laying there with a dirty hand during treatment. Anuice has not only lessened my suffering, but it has saved me money in the long run because I have not had to spend money on creams and wipes and other products with limited value. It has not cured me of my hemorrhoid problem – and it won't, most likely. Perhaps if my problem were less severe, it would. But it has certainly reduced my symptoms significantly enough that I am willing to post this review despite that I would prefer not having my name attached to a hemorrhoid product that I lovingly refer to as "the icy finger." The short version is that if you suffer from chronic hemorrhoids, Anuice is absolutely worth the price. It has literally changed my life. Anyone with this as a chronic issue will understand what I'm saying. Add some condoms, latex gloves, and your favorite lube to the cart if you are concerned about it being unsanitary. If you are dealing with the first hemorrhoid you have ever experienced, you may not find that you get your money's worth from this product. Don't get me wrong – it will absolutely help quickly heal the problem. Just reconcile the fact that you will spend $40 or so and may never use the device again. Regardless, it will be there in your freezer - waiting, just in case! Update: I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but I have now been using this 'device' for 2 years. I haven't had a serious problem since I began using it. I never thought I would be able to say that... my doctor was talking surgery and I was miserable. This 'icy finger' works... and it holds up over time. As soon as the first sign of symptoms appear, I begin using Anuice and I keep using it for about a day after the last hint of a symptom. I will say that I use a protective barrier between the 'device' and my body. Otherwise I don't think I would continue using it for this long (it is made of plastic and that's porous and just... eww.) I haven't ever gotten anything from this company other than relief from my embarassing problem (and that's enough.) Wishing all of you the same bliss!

The device actually seems to work! Not only does it shrink the swelling, but the itching and burning is much improved, without the use of numbing cream or suppository. I've been suffering from hemorrhoids for a long time now and had no idea that cryotherapy would be so effective. Simple device, worthwhile purchase!

It is a good product. I needed to buy another lubricant-- the one it comes with is not slippery enough. I recommend good, thick lube for that area. Do not leave it in longer than 6-8 mins because it gets warm and sticks, which creates more problems. I also recommend using it in conjunction with a those little ice packs you get at the cake shop to keep it cold for longer. I put them in a ziplock, and either after or before, just apply them to the outside area. They can't get inside, so they are no good for internal hemorrhoids, but they really help with the external ones. Then use a warm pack or sits bath. If you are constipated, use a little senna every day to soften stool, and/or intake more leafy greens like spinach. Two handfuls with yoghurt, juice, protein powder, a banana and some frozen fruit in a blender in the morning will keep you fibered up and refreshed till lunch. Be sure not to get diarrhea, because that isn't good for the problem either. A traditional medicine they sell in Japan which has a cooling effect on the intestines and can be combined in small amounts with senna is called Daiou ( pronounced "Die Oh."), but taken long term it creates problems. Good luck! Mine are gone, for now...

Saved my @ss. On a more serious note, it really offered relief. I recommend this device highly. I used it twice a day. At first it will feel super uncomfortable but eventually you look forward to it because you know how much it will help. I had a long car trip ahead of me and don’t think I would have been okay had I not used this before the trip.

Pros: None Cons: Everything I purchased this for my Grandpa and we were both surprised at what this product turned out to be. This is a $40 piece of plastic. For less than $5 you can go to any department store or auto shop and purchase something similar in shape. It probably cost them less than $2 to make and they're selling it for $40. It's a complete rip-off. I'm returning mine. After looking at all of these 5 star reviews - many of them have only 1 review on their account. In these cases I tend to believe the merchant is writing fake reviews. I honestly can't understand how someone could write a glowing review about a piece of plastic you stick in your freezer for 2 hours then apply, for $40.

I have had hemms for at least 8 years and mine are so bad that I will be out of commission for WEEKS. I can't move and I stay in constant pain. I bought this as a last resort... After the FIRST use I felt tremendous relief!!! However, I've had this device for a little over a month and its already not getting as cold as it did when I first bought it so I have to buy another one. its suppose to last a year... I haven't used it everyday like I'm suppose too but I can vouch for the fact that it does provide amazing relief and really gets your hemms under control- I use mine with fargelin. I've also started a daily coffee regimin so I stop being constipated which has really helped tremendously. The lube sucks!!! But I'm going for my second service of Ultroid monday so...

I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for years , and in the last two weeks they came back , and every day got worse , so i looked up the internet for solution and found anuice, read the reviews and was pleased with what people were saying about anuice, bit expensive i thought but god if it takes the pain away it would be worth it , well i pleased to say after two days of using anuice im sitting pain free well worth the money , and i have taken one guys advice even though it works quick use for two weeks , i would recommend this product wish we could buy in the uk what great device

I'm giving 5 stars to this item because it really works effectively. I had painful hemorhoids for 2 weeks, I tried to apply ice by myself but it didn't work for internal ones. I bought AnnuIce and in a manner of two days they were gone, even though they were mildly bleeding. I had never written reviews, but given how happy I am with this product I did it.

Effective and not too long to refreeze

We have had no success with the Anuice. It wasn't suitable for my husband because of other health problems. He is not able to lie on his side and his head has to be above his heart at all times. We tried to use it in standing position and that was too stressful and exhausting for him. He had the worst night I can remember after using it during one day. There is really no point me assessing the number of stars.

this works for me so much better than messy creams but a little expensive
