Hemorrhoids

Posted by bird_lover_2006 (My Page) on

Has anyone found a way to get rid of existing hemorrhoids? The Dr told me to take stool softners and eat more fiber. I have been doing that for a couple of months. Sometimes they feel better and then all of a sudden they hurt again. I work out every morning for 30 mintues and try to walk around at work as much as possible. I also drink 72oz of water a day. I have a really big water bottle on my desk! This little pain in the b... is driving me crazy!!!!
Thanks for any help.

You mean you haven't tried Prep H?

RE: Hemorrhoids

Are they internal or external?

RE: Hemorrhoids

My mom and sister had the surgery where they "bind" them. Of course they both said it was extremely painful,embarrssing,and that the roids came back after a couple months to a year anyways.
I'd stick with preperation H.And I heard taking advil can help the pain.Also something called a "sitz" bath where you just soak in the hottest water you can stand for like,20 minutes.

RE: Hemorrhoids

There are suppositories that may work better than Prep.H. cream. I remember one brand (forget the name) made of cocoa butter. It was just lovely to smell like hot cocoa every time I pulled down my panties. LOL

RE: Hemorrhoids

You can also try an over the counter product called Anusol. It comes in both suppositorie and ointment with a thin applicator that can be inserted to get the ointment inside.
You do need to increase your fluid intake as well as increasing roughage.

What I am finding in hospitals and doctors offices now thought, is a return to some old fashioned treatments for them.

Things like sitz bath, soaking in hot water in a tub as stated above and for relief, they are saying good old fashioned A&D ointment. the stuff used for diaper rash on babies.

I had a problem with hemorrhoids from pain meds after surgery a year ago. Docs said use the A&D instead of anything else. Oh what relief I had and they shrunk up real quick as well.

RE: Hemorrhoids

You can buy the sitz bath tub thingy at most drug stores even Walmart has them I think in health supplies. The sitz tubs are just like those we are sent home from hospital with after giving birth, handy little gadget for soaking the pain in the butt. Don't got to expose the whole body to the hot water which tends to dry the skin out if done very much, the warm water that might be soothing to the pain in the butt not so soothing to the rest of the body sometimes.

OH those TUCKS pad things can be comforting too.

RE: Hemorrhoids

Thanks for all the answers. They are external and I have tried prep H, tucks etc. I will have to try the A&D cream.

RE: Hemorrhoids

bird lover. A&D is an ointment that comes in a tube and large container tubs.

RE: Hemorrhoids

Besides taking the ointments mentioned, the other thing I took that helped was vitamin E.

RE: Hemorrhoids

I suffered for years from very painful hemorrhoids. I had the surgery only to have them return in full force. My doctor asked me if I ate popcorn. I told him I didn't think that could cause this problem. I decided to take his advice. I cut out popcorn, nuts, corn and seeds. I have not had a hemorrhoid since. If I even eat a handful of nuts, the problem returns. I am so happy now.

RE: Hemorrhoids

If you are still having symptons, you may want to look into infrared coagulation. IRC treatment is a non-surgical treatment for hemorrhoids. It uses infrared light to reduce the blood supply to the hemorrhoids, and this will cause the hemorrhoid to shrink and disappear.

As I said, it's non-surgical, there's no-anethsia involved, and there is no-interruption to your daily activities.

Hi Everyone,

I hate to intrude but...

My wife suffered from hemorrhoids for a while after giving birth to our first three children and then found a natural treatment for hemorrhoids with an amazing herbal hemorrhoids remedy. Since then, we've made it our mission to help people understand how they can get rid of hemorrhoids. We've started the website www.HemroidHarry.com and have an informational PDF eBook explaining hemorrhoids and what you can do about them. Please eMail me if you'd like a copy of the eBook.

To Your Health,

I have had tried everything, with the exception of surgery, to relieve my hemorrhoid pain and bleeding and only one thing worked for me. It is actually a combination of different treatments, but after about 3 days all discomfort and bleeding had stopped.

RE: Hemorrhoids

Treating hemorrhoids can be a long and exhaustive process. I would recommend trying herbal and natural remedies before moving on to more severe tactics like surgery. I found an online product which worked pretty well.

RE: Hemorrhoids - remedy with Oak

I suggest to everyone, try some natural ways of treatment for hemorrhoids.
You can find herbal remedies easily by searching.
I suggest you this one using Oak...

We pour 1lt=1000ml upon 3 spoonfuls of dried rind of
Oak branches and we leave it for 10-15 min, covered,
in order to release its substances.
Moisture a piece of cotton with this infusion and apply it every night on your sensitive area.
The rind of Oak branches is very styptic and healing!

RE: Hemorrhoids

Drinking more water and eating fiber will help however if you drink alcohol you might want to really cut back or stop. Alcohol will dehydrate the body and cause hard stools.

If you work sitting down a lot then you might want to get up and go for a walk at lunch time. This will help with circulation and help keeping the blood from pooling in the lower region witch creates pressure on the rectal veins.

If this post is a duplicate i am sorry, It didnt seem to be working when i made it.

RE: Hemorrhoids

For years I struggled with hemorrhoids. Not only were they painful but also rather embarrassing. I remember having to tell my friends to slow the golf cart down because "my back hurt". I went to a ton of Doctors and nothing seemed to work until I went the organic route. This is what I used here, I am sure there are tons of organic solutions but this one worked for me!

RE: Hemorrhoids

For existing ones, I used to use a box of 12 suppositories, following the instructions on the box. that took care of that problem.

The doctor told my husband years ago how to prevent them, my husband didn't do as he was told and had to eventually have surgery. The instructions were to clean yourself with tissue, then finish up with a damp one. Dryness is the enemy. Moistness lets the muscles go back in. Following those instructions put an end to my hemorrhoid problem. I use wet wipes.

RE: Hemorrhoids

Have your Dr. write you a prescription for suppositories, they work!! They are not hard to use like I expected, and the pain will go away very quickly. When the pain is really bad, sit on a ice pack.

RE: Hemorrhoids

I work with herbs.

There is an effective remedy in Chinese Medicine. It is a herbal creme.

It is called Ma Ying Long.

It works right away, and is cheap. Always surprised people havn't heard about it. No reason to be in pain ...ever.

I have used it for years (I had a re-occurring issue, I was eating wheat, which caused constipation, so the hemorrhoids didn't completely disappear,...though now they should).

RE: Hemorrhoids

I used a fairly cheap herbal medicine I found online. It got rid of my hemorrhoids and stopped them from coming back. It is really the only proven medicine to actually cure them for good. You can get the medicine from this link: http://www.hemclear.com/102.html Just copy and paste it into the browser if it is not clickable. I also left a link to the site that explains all of the ingredients to the medicine and gives other info on hemorrhoid treatments. Hope this helps. Good luck!
