A sensitive problem

[chippermonk]

Lots of good advice from others. I'll just agree and say don't sit much, ESPECIALLY not on the toilet. Poop asap or don't bother. Rat lots of fiber in your diet ( beans, whole grains, fruit and veggies), stay well hydrated. Nothing like a hard turd to rip those suckers. Too me, that's key above all else, keep your bowel movements smooth
As for the usual Blue light requirement of pics or GTFO, you can skip that in this case.

Ok i didnt feel like making another embarrassing thread so im bumping this one.

I have preperation h at the moment and although it works for me im just wondering is there anything better i could get by prescription? Perhaps something with benzocaine or some other caine in it to help the pain. I currently have pretty bad hemmeroids and its not good at all.

Would anusol plus be better to maybe? That one is otc but also has something in it for pain i think.

Not sure about prescription, but you can also just get some straight witch hazel tincture, I think that's essentially what preparation h is made of, or some pharmaceutical derivative.

It looks like rubbing alcohol or something, just get a bottle, it works for other stuff too. It's probably not really gonna help with the pain, tbh I can't really remember what it feels like, but I know it works really well.

So i have had hemmeroids on and off now for months but they have gotten bad in the past few weeks. I mentioned this to my shrink and he mentioned well surgery is a option! Like wtf i do not fucking want surgery down there! My aunt had that surgery done years ago and it was horrible for her. I just bought some preperation h so hopefully this shit actually works. My shrink said the over the counter stuff often doesent work but i remember the last time i had hemmeroids like 20 years ago i bought some and it worked really well.

How likely is surgery though cause i really dont fucking want to have surgery down there. Is my shrink trying to freak me out or what because you had bet my hemmeroid ridden ass im going to be hitting him up for more benzos and zopiclone if this shit dont work.

Have you had a colonoscopy or other procedure to confirm hemorrhoids?

 

[deficiT]

If you have several and they're really painful, you've had them for a while and they're making life fucked up, u should probably go to the doctor too

 

[someguyontheinternet]

Also there are OTC products with hydrocortisone that can help healing but make sure to follow the instructions and not use for too long

If they're external you can pretty much confirm them yourself.
@paranoid android , have you tried the prep h suppositories ?
In my limited experience I found those way more effective than the cream.
Also if you do need something externally, I'd probably suggest the gel rather than the cream.

All the other advice in the thread is good. The only long term answer is changing your dietary/activity habits and making softer poops.

I have them and there’s been times when they bothered the hell out of me and now they haven’t bothered me for like 9 years.

I couldn’t tell you why they stopped bothering me.

Hudrocortisone suppositories (prescription) were a god send

 

[paranoid android]

Have you had a colonoscopy or other procedure to confirm hemorrhoids?

No and i dont want a colonoscopy if i can avoid it. I on,ly have a virtual doctor so i cant go and get a doc to confirm it either. There are no doctors taking patients where i lie right now and because i have a virtual doctor the nurse practriconer up here wont see me. They just say you already have a doctor.

Sadly i only have a virtual doctor

I can confirm them for how they feel. Fuck it is not fun. The itching and burning. I think i was dignosed with hemmeroids by a doctor before but im not sure. I havent tried the prep h suppositories yet but i may go that route. I have the cream now i dont think the pharmacy i went to had cream. I have them internally and externally

My diet is not that bad i guess. I do eat alot of burgers and stuff like that though.

Also i do take morphine although not on a daily basis like when i was addicted. It can make you pretty constipated thus making the piles worse

Yeah, eating a lot of red meat and fat is not good for your situation. You need tons of water, vegetables, fiber, etc... you can still eat whatever but when you just eat meat that contributes to your constipation. You should take a holistic approach. Like I said the medicated gels and creams are only temporary relief. You need to give your system a break so it has time to heal.

If you know you have internal the suppositories are a must. That's the only way you're going to get the ointment all the way in there where you need.

Ya i have been eating alot of red meat and also chicken because im on testosterone and eating more protein will help me build muscle. Ive been lifting weights like a motherfucker even before i got on test but more so now and you need protein when your lifting that much. But i guess eating more veggies and fiber would be good to. I like most veggies and later i might have broccoli with something. Maybe chicken or mac and cheese

The internal ones are the fucking worst. Goddamn they are painful. I guesss ill have to go buy the suppositories. And ya its hard to get the gel in there

do you also take some fiber supplements or PEG laxative? That will help.

Also when you poop it’s good to have a stool to elevate you feet with because it makes it mucg easier

Sounds like a plan. Just start adding in good digestive habits into your routine day by day. There are plenty of fiber supplements too. Do you drink enough water?

I dont have constipation very badly these days so i dont need those. A change in diet would be enough

I am so bad with drinkig water. I try and drink a few cans of carbonated water everyday but usually what im drinking is dr.pepper lol. That is not good for you at all.

To be honest, that's probably one of your main problems. You gotta keep the pipes lubricated man. Your body needs water. Experiment with some of the flavor packets or whatever you gotta do.

Ya drinking 6 cans of dr.pepper a day probably isnt good lol. I try and get a few cans of flavored carbonated water in me though

Eat egg whites and high quality bison/beef broth and you can get a ton of protein without a lot of calories. They're both like 20 grams of protein per 100 calories

They sell cardboard cartons of just liquid egg whites

 

[someguyontheinternet]

I use whey isolate for protein, it's pretty cheap in bulk. Otherwise for lifting my diet is usually rice, chicken, broccoli, lentils, hemp seed oil. I've started using pedialyte too for hydration, it's honestly a game changer to have the right electrolytes. Proper hydration and electrolytes will help your bowels move better too

Just a wild guess here, but is it possible that you are straining when you lift and this could be make them pop out worse?
Anyhow, eat all the protein you like but you better have lots of fiber and liquid in your diet. Eat some beans, they have protein and lots of good nutrients, and lots of fiber, too. Or have some oatmeal with nuts and protein powder in it. Meat has zero fiber. And while your at it, I'm pretty sugar isn't good either.
Good luck!

I thought they came from standing up to much?

They come from sitting down too much, because long periods sitting puts pressure on those tissues. Same goes for constipation that makes you strain a lot on the toilet. Essentially they're varicose veins, only on your anus. (As for those on the legs, both too much standing AND sitting contributes to their formation, because the blood tends to pool in the lower limbs from the lack of movement. It impairs effective circulation.)

How bad are they? If they are really large, painful and bleed frequently, creams won't really do much. Can you reposit them with a finger, or are they permanently prolapsed? If they won't go back inside you ought to consider the surgical option. Forget your mother's bad experience, techniques have improved and developed A LOT.

Traditional haemorrhoidectomy involves cutting them out, which obviously is quite invasive, and has a prolonged recovery time of between 8 - 12 weeks, usually painful and uncomfortable. There's much better options now.
For grade 1-3 you can either get 'binding', which is tiny rubber ligatures tied around the haemorrhoid, which cuts off the blood supply so they just shrivel up and fall off. Or you can have them injected with a substance that has much the same effect. For grade 4s there is either laser or the Rafaelo method which uses radiofrequency (I've had the latter). Both are minimally invasive ambulant procedures, it's done under local anaesthetic, only lasts about 30-40 mins, and you walk out the same day. The rate of recurrence is only 10% so chances are it's one-and-done and you're permanently rid of the things. For me it was definitely worth it. They were getting very bothersome.
