Hemorrhoids

Asking for a friend: How do you cure hemorrhoids from too many enemas and diarrhea? Prep H doesn't seem to be helping and it's cutting into her playtime.

@Ebbie_Anne Best if you see a Doctor!

For me it depends on how bad it is. A prolapse can be pushed back inside the rectum, but it’s going to pop back out again just as soon as you sit on the toilet, strain real hard or have an explosive expulsion. If it’s a big painful hemorrhoid it’s probably best to hold off on enemas until it shrinks some.

Never had much luck with any of the ointments.

I gather surgical removal is an option - but I think it just likely to recur.,.. symptom of aging.

Proctosedyl works well so far.

Maybe that are external hemmorrids. Surgical excision or waiting until the thrombosis in the anal vein is organised are the options. Maybe that are prolabating internal hemmorids- operative treatment is the only option.

I have found that using Prep-H point as a lube during enemas will often prevent hemorrhoid flares. So mayb3 she could still indulge if she did that.

Also, Prep-H cooling gel helps reduce pain, after the initial burning hell when you first put it on.

Products for vaginal itch in the womens"s aisle usually has a much higher level of benzocaine than hemorrhoid products so buy those instead. Try to get the store brand as most brand name products contain fragrance, which is totally unnecessary and can cause burning and irritation itself.

When taking enemas, use cool water only as it will be more soothing and encourage vascular construction.

Do not wipe with toilet paper. Use a bidet, a bidet attachment or a portable bidet or a postpartum squirt bottle bidet to cleanse the skin after the bathroom use whenever possible. Pat clean instead of wipe.

Other than that, bite the bullet and see a doc about them.

I visited a gastroenterologist who did several hemorrhoid banding sessions to get rid of some I had. Quick procedure with just some mild discomfort the day of (felt uncomfortable to sit mostly). Seemed preferable to a surgical treatment. While the banding treatments removed them, I do think new ones have appeared (perils of aging as someone else said). If you call a doctor just confirm they do banding because it seems not all gastroenterologist or colon/rectal doctors do. I had previously visited one who said I had some but didn't treat them because they said they weren't big enough to warrant surgery, so seems some take different approaches to treatment.

I have one right in my anus. Prob should have it looked at. Its just a lum, but gets bigger if i have a difficultbpoop.

Not sure how thr would remove it Though.

For some reason I found using Vicks vaporub rub has worked very well, and better than prep. H when I feel a hemorrhoid starting as a result of over doing enemas.

I've had two treated. 1st one I had in my early 30's, hurt constantly and had trouble sleeping. Saw a proctologist and he cut a section of the vein out and cauterized it, instant relief! Told him if I ever get another grape on my anus I'll be back to see him. 2nd one Dr used the rubber band treatment, it worked, but took a lot longer and wasn't really impressed with the procedure. Luckily, don't have many problems with them anymore. But if you get a bad one, find a Dr. who will cut it out and cauterize it, then you're instantly done with it.
