Posted by bird_lover_2006 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 07 at 17:08
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. |

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 |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

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

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

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.

| I suffered from severe hemorrhoids for about 3 years. Suppositories, ointments, and other home treatments helped to relieve pain and itching but did nothing with hemorrhoid lumps size. I was tired of pain and discomfort after each visit to toilet, so I decided it is time to do something drastic. Hemorrhoids ligation and infrared coagulation didn�t cure it completely, but helped significantly. Before deciding to undergo any of the hemorrhoids treatments it may be helpful to learn more about options available to you. |

| 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,
medical_matt suggested Infrared coagulation. I actually went thru one treatment of infrared coagulation. It's advertised as pain free but trust me it's not! I was in so much pain that I did not go to next treatment. There are supposed to be 5-6 treatments. It costs $600 per treatment. My hemorrhoid was really inflamed and big and maybe that's why I was so much in pain. I did my own reasearch and found Calmovil remedy. That really worked for me. |

| hi, I have tried herbs to cure my piles..hope can help You great list of herbs used to treat and eliminate hemorrhoids
Witch Hazel -- contains procyanadins, resin, and flavonoids, which help it work as a soothing, anti-inflammatory agent that relieves hemorrhoid pain. White Oak Bark - the active ingredients are tannin and quercin. Quercin is similar in effect to salicin (natural aspirin) and is used along with bioflavinoids to strengthen the capillaries and veins. White oak bark also contains ample amounts of calcium, manganese, potassium and magnesium. It is particularly good for stopping internal bleeding. Natural treatments (and in particular H Miracle) have been receiving a lot of praise in recent times due to the phenomenal success rate amongst ex hemorrhoid sufferers.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| My husband had surgery years ago as did my uncle. This post caught my eye since for the past month every time I am at the grocery store in Toronto I am faced with PINK toilet paper - for breast cancer of course - but people with hemorrhoids (actually no one) should be using coloured toilet paper - there is a reason why companies stopped making it years ago. Actually while on vacation this year the hotel had toilet paper with blue flowers. I was out of facial tissue so I used some of it to remove my makeup - and it left blue dye on my face. It was funny at the grocery store to see people of a certain age - over 50 mainly - staring in horror at the pink toilet paper. Then we moved on to the display for Sensitive Skin toilet paper -it has Aloe Vera added - I am allergic to Aloe Vera and I am not alone. Have to wonder. Buying facial tissue is becoming hard enough - add to this laundry detergent that doesn't have a fake botanical smell - I go by rule of 3 - if I find a he, unscented liquid, I buy 3. Hope all goes well for you. |
