Hi. I've been getting hemorrhoids on and off for the past ten years or so but it's always been manageable and just uncomfortable. Recently they've gotten a lot worse. I went to the doctor but the suppositories they prescribed were over $100 (I'm in the wonderful US) and the cream for external weren't much cheaper. I have both external and internal and I believe multiples of each but I'm not sure.
Anyways...it's been over a month since they got really bad and every day is spent catering to them. I am in constant pain. I do ice, sitz bath, tronosone cream, witch hazel wipes...I have irritable bowels and I have 3-4 bowel movements a day. After the bowel movements is when the pain is the most overwhelming. I feel like I am going crazy. Please someone tell me this is temporary.
I've have had the problem for 3 years and over the last years they have progressed passed yours. My only option is hemrroidectomy. I have been catering to mine as you have yours to extreme measures baths, creams, diet, rest everything and they have unfortunately not gotten better only worse. Just my personal experience tho
Hi I,m so sorry for your pain. The most important thing is your diet. Eat a high fibre diet drink at least 5 pints of water a day. Lots of fruit and veg. Ice is good. Do not get constipated. But if they are that bad you should consider seeing a colorectal surgeon. I was diagnosed with IBS but it turned out to be diverticulitis. I hope things get better for you.
For starters, think hard and discover what it is that flairs them up. Youre gonna have to do something. I realized that mine made themselves noticed as emotional events. Some as simple as seeing one of my parents - I live in another city. Funerals for sure are hard and that is how I noticed mine for the very first time. Go to Homeopathic remedies, you can buy them at Whole Foods or online at Amazon. You're going to have to do something medical if you're going crazy. Stress makes them worse so try and keep yourself calm.
