Hemorrhoids

[JanieDough]

Feeling a bit better today, can sit more comfortably now, just keeping sticking the bullets up my arse.:thumbup

but that's how these things are - they bet better, then they get worse - you need to see a doctor! :mad

Eat more fiber! Or take a suppliment. It helps. :thumbup

Re: Hemorroids

but then the doctor might actually be able to re-insert the troubled area.....problem gone then

That's what mine did, I got one during child labor!

Sucker comes back here and there.

It's starting to get better, not in nearly so much pain now, just hurts most sitting down and getting up, keeping up the depositories. Cant see much point seeing the doctor right now, he'd more than likely just give me a prescription for what I'm already taking.

Doing any of this Pete?

Treatments

Conservative treatment typically consists of increasing dietary fiber, oral fluids to maintain hydration, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s, sitz baths, and rest.[1] Increased fiber intake has been shown to improve outcomes[6] and may be achieved by dietary alterations or the consumption of fibre supplements.[1]
While many topical agents and suppositories are available for the treatment of hemorrhoids there is little evidence to support their use.[1] Preparation H may improve local symptoms but does not improve the underlying disorder and long term use is discouraged due to local irritation of the skin.[1]

Yeah, I'm eating lots of veg and drinking lots of fluid too.

Nearly better now, I got fed up of putting things up my arse so I go some cream for it which really helped, it's really weird though because it stones me out, never got high through rubbing cream onto my skin before!:willy_nilly::thumbup
