Does Vaseline Help With Hemorrhoids
Vaseline for hemorrhoids is intended to be used on the skin around the back passage only. 
Some others suppositories and ointments contain an applicator or nozzle, so that the preparation can be applied inside the back passage. 
If you have been instructed to use the preparation internally, use the applicator provided. Wash and rinse the applicator/nozzle after each use.

Remove the suppository from the wrapping.
Stand with one leg raised on a chair (or lie down on your side if you prefer). Using your finger, gently push the suppository into your back passage as far as comfortable. 
You may find this easier to do if you moisten the suppository with a little water first.
Remain still for a little while to help hold the suppository in place.
Wash your hands afterwards. 
How to use a rectal spray
Before you use the spray for the first time, remove the cap and press the pump down once or twice. This will 'prime' the pump to make it ready for use.
Point the spray at the area around your bottom and press the pump down once. Replace the cap and wash your hands afterwards.
Getting the most from your treatment
Vaseline should only be used for short periods of time. Do no use it for longer than seven days at a time.
Try to avoid becoming constipated, as this can lead to you straining at the toilet. You can do this by eating foods containing fibre (such as fruit, vegetables, cereals and wholemeal bread) and drinking plenty of water each day.
Go to the toilet as soon as you feel the need. Some people suppress the feeling and plan to go to the toilet later. This can result in bigger and harder stools forming, which are then more difficult to pass.
If your symptoms do not improve, or if significant bleeding occurs, make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible.
