All about Hemorrhoids

Is there an enema that will help reduce hemarroids.

I have had hemorrhoids before. They were mainly external. At least one cause is leaving fecal material in your anus following a bowel movememnt. Another is excess wiping after a movement which irritates the delecate tissues. These two causes are fighting one another. My solution is to wipe once and use a shower bidet to clean my butthole. I insert my soapy fingertip to remove the fecal residue. If your problem is mostly external then try a shower device with low pressure. If some are internal this may help them too. The shower device will help soothe your anus and is liklely easier to tolerate than an enema nozzle. The shower device doesn't need to be inserted, just pressed firmly against your sphincter and the water will enter with only about 2 lbs of force - not enough to harm you.

Hemorrhoids are a real pain in the ass. Try to cure them so you can enjoy enemas and avoid them in the future. Best of luck. Vicki

Vickie Thenks for your info but it is my wife that has the problem with hemorrhoids.

They are protruding from inside out. I would like to know other than Preperation H what would be able to take care of them?

Have her soak in the tub, a good warm soak for 15 or 20 minutes. This should bring some quick relief. Also, I would recommend one of those goofy ring cushions, for sitting around the house. I finally was hurting enough to buy one, and they are great. I actually drove cross country with it. Have her try to minimize the number of times she has to push on the potty, that will help as well. I have had limited benefit from enemas when my hemorroids are acting up, usually lay off them until it feels better.

And don't use the prep h stuff too much, you can become allergic.

Take care

MY brother had hemmorrhoids for years and he tried enerything with no sucess. Then he found out about this DR. who does a procedure by rubber bandaiding the hemrrhoids. After a few days the external HEM dropped off. I guess kinda like banding a calf. He claims it was a miracle cure. So you my want to search around in your area. Few Drs know how to do this.

The bands are for external hemorrhoids, the internal ones are another story.

I read that using aloe leaf suppository can help. Simply cut an aloe leaf, clean it and put it in the refrigerator to cool, peal the leaf and insert a portion of the aloe after you have had a bowel movement.

COLD water helps to bring them down quickly - you can take a COLD water enema while on the toilet - just expel as it enters the rectum so that it doesn't get any higher and become uncomfortable.

Wet a washcloth with water as hot as you can stand it, wring it out, fold or roll it so that no edges are on the outside and press that against the anus for temporary and instant relief. Do this when you start to feel another bout coming on.

Dlmetz, hemorrhoids are an inflammation and swelling of veins in the rectum and around the anus. Essentially varicose veins. Hot baths, cool/cold compresses, a cool washcloth with witch hazel, tucks pads, hydrocortizone suppositories are all good relievers. She can put the Tuck's pads in the freezer, then place against her anus and hold it there. Enemas are ok, but sometimes may irritate the tissues, even mild ones. If your wife chooses to do an enema, have her expel while standing in the tub, and let gravity help. Tell her not to strain, just let it go. Here is a very informative link as well...

this site gives medical and non-medical advice about hemorrhoids. I've had them before, ended up having surgery, but there are other alternatives, surgery is the last choice, can be very painful. I'm super glad I did it, but I would prefer not to go through that again.

Prep H, sitz baths, and hot packs are not cure alls for all situations. If the problem persists or is a recurring situation, go see a specialist. Removal can be done by traditional surgery (somewhat painful), freezing, or the rubber band treatment....all depending on severity. When the 'roids start to bleed and the toilet bowl becomes red, you have no choice but to go to the next stage of treatment.

When I had them, I felt relief when they bled, as it took some of the pressure off. Maybe that was just me.

What Lady Di said about relief when a roid bleeds is true. If one refuses to bleed it can become thrombosed (hard) and it will not want to go away. Any blood from the rectum or anus should be checked by a Dr.

I have hemorrhoids and found cool enemas cause less swelling,too warm of an enema causes problems with expelling.If blood occures,stop the enema session to let heal.After a couple of days things are back to normal and now can resume with my favorite passtime.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/W.Ma

That is one thing I learned from enemas, don't wipe too much! I like to use them to clean me out before I uses my Nexus prostate stimulator, but sometimes I get too sore from wiping too much to be able to enjoy the massage.

I think i have posted this somewhere else before;

my experience concerning hemaroids, i have given a low quantity cleansing enema and after expelling it, a bulb full with a sud made from oack barc (not too warm) and retained for as long as possible, most of the time this is absorbed from the colon.

I have repeated it and if i remember correctly, the problem vanished. This treatment was also used in the olden days if a madam sold a girl several times as virgin to her customers, there of course it was applied to the girls vagina.

Good herb to take orally and add to an enema is "butchers broom" or "horse chestnut".
