Your Questions About Hemorrhoid Tablets

By Agnes on Monday, September 5th, 2011 | No Comments

Linda asks…

what are the tablets taken to cure hemorrhoid?

Agnes answers:

Once you have a hemorrhoid is difficult to get rid of them. Your goal is to keep from it getting bigger. There are no pills to take it away. Use common sense, drink plenty of water, eat foods High in fiber and try not to get constipated. There are many over the counter laxatives to help relieve constipation but shouldn't be used routinely.

James asks…

I have a lump in my bowel, what is it?

For as long as i can remember when i go to the toilet i have a lump that comes out it is about the size of a tennis ball i went to the dr last yr and they gave me some tablets to put up there think she thinks it haemorrhoid's, but i didn't use them as i couldn't do it! I'm really getting worried now, but i'm too scared to go to the doctors, anyone got any ideas what it could be?

Serious answers only please.

Agnes answers:

Could be hemorrhoid, could be rectal prolapse. Not likely to be anal cancer as, if it were, you ought to be terribly sick by now.

Donna asks…

Soreness around my anus?

I have been suffering with soreness around my anus for three months now and it is becoming extremely annoying and is preventing me doing any form of exercise which has meant I have put weight on! I have been to the doctors three times, it is NOT haemorrhoids. The doctors just say its irritation and prescribed me various anti fungal tablets and creams and anti biotic creams and steroid creams. The steroids help but arent getting rid of the problem. I have had a new job for the past few months which involves sitting down all day and driving to work which I never used to do, I used to do a lot more walking. The other thing was i went on a two week course of very strong antibiotics a few weeks before the symptoms started and people have told me that could be the link? Please do not give me the usual anal sex jokes as they are old and pointless!
Lock the door is a funny one to be fair!

Agnes answers:

Ok, try a donut shaped cushion to sit on if you are sitting a long time.
Are you wearing 100% cotton undies? If not, get some.
Check your washing detergent, you may have developed a sensitivity ( it's the brighteners they put in them) try a low allergy one.
Change your soap, get either a Pine Tar or a similar one for people with skin sensitivities.
Get some of those probotic tablets ie Inner Health Plus and eat yogurt for at least 2 weeks.
Don't over use the steroid creams, they thin your skin. Try simple sorbolene cream, apply frequently.
All the best!

Daniel asks…

I really hate my body at the moment, especially my anus and my bowel movements. Please help?

I'm a 15 year old male and I've absolutely hated my body for the last year.

In January 2009, I suffered from epididymitis on my left testicle. I now have a spermatocele (cyst) on each testicle now. I'm a hypochondriac and every pain I feel I think is something bad, I suffer from pains quite a bit. Because of the pain I felt when the doctor examined my testicles, touching the cysts, I get very nervous whenever I touch them or wash them in the shower. My parents say it's all psychological, but because of my hypochondria, I think it's something else. Every minor pain I get in my groin or testicle makes me anxious and worried that somethings wrong.

Moving onto another thing, my anus and bowel movements. I 've suffered from (I think) hemorrhoids since July last year and I have a tender lump outside the anal opening. I also have really long hair in the anal region, about 3 cm long and that's really difficult to clean after I've passed a motion and I have to clean in different sections. Another thing I've been experiencing for the past few days is a horrific sharp pain when I have a bowel movement, but I think that's to do with my hemorhoids. I'm extremely annoyed at all these lumps, pains and hair I have down there! I've got the hair lasered once before, but I can't get lasered now because I'm on Roaccutaine tablets for my acne.

Another think I'm self conscious of is my skinniness. I'm very tall and I look like a long stick! I've been using 4kg dumbells, hand grips and pushup bars since early January and I have seen very little improvement, it's probably making me skinnier, which I don't want!

I'm really hate my body at the moment! I feel like an old man in a teenager's body. What can I do to take my mind off all this?

I know many, many people are in worse conditions than I am, but please help me and tell me what I should do to cure some of the things I have.
Sassy OLD Broad: You don't have to be such fucking ass! I feel really, really bad for people with cancer and other problems. All I said was what can I do to calm myself down and stop worrying about these problems I currently have?
Mr.noitall: My parents know about how I'm feeling at the moment. No I was not diagnosed as a hypochondriac by a professional. I just feel like one, since whenever I feel pains, for example, in my testicles or groin, I think it's something bad, even though doctors say they can't find anything wrong.

No I have not sought counselling, but I'm seeing a doctor at the moment and have been talking about my feelings. I'll mention that I feel like a hypochondriac next time I see her.

Thank you.

Agnes answers:

Stephen, I don't think you are being hypochondrical. For a start you are very young and yet have suffered already two nasty conditions. I was told by a nurse that such an infection in the testicles is agony. And when the doctor examined your cyst it hurt you too.

Now you are 'fixated' on triggering pain or discovering a reoccurence. This is very common and normal.

I don't know much about Piles other than it can be extremely painful. It tends to first strike much older people than you. If you didn't have a lump in your anal crevice I would advise you to either pluck, shave (very carefully) or get waxed. If you look at hairy dogs they can have a messy anus. Ask your doctor if you can remove this hair. Besides it just looks awful!

Usually weight-training is recommended for 16 plus, when the bones & ligaments are stronger. However, to bulk up your thin body you're going to need to build your core 'compound' muscles viz. Chest or back. Combine with Whey protein and other proteins.

I literally wish you well...

Your Questions About Hemorrhoid Surgery Recovery

By Agnes on Sunday, September 4th, 2011 | No Comments

Steven asks…

hemorrhoid surgery recovery time?

my mum has jus had surgury, when will she be out of hospital?

Agnes answers:

It depends on type of surgery. Band ligation is a minor procedure, may be requiring couple of days' hospitalization. Haemorrhoidectomy, specially for multiple hemorrhoids, needs a longer stay for 5-7 days. She should recover completely that is more important, couple of days hospitalization (though uncomfortable for the whole family) will be worth the permanent good result.
All the best for your mum!

Susan asks…

has anyone had hemorrhoid surgery what was recovery like?

Agnes answers:

Hello! It all depends upon how the hemorrhoid’s removed. Have you already have it done? If not, I will tell you a little bit about the procedure.
Before removing the hemorrhoid, you may decide if you want a local or general anesthesia. You will lie down in a position that exposes your rectum. A surgery may be performed with a knife, laser or cautery pencil. Incision will be made around the hemorrhoid and the veins will be tied to prevent bleeding and the hemorrhoid cut off. Your wound will be probably sewn but can be left open as well. They may out some gauze over it.
You will get all the necessary information about how to act after the operation. You may be given painkillers, stool softeners, advised on a diet and hot tubs to relieve the pain.
You will be able to drive within a week but full recovery won’t be until the 2nd or 3rd week. Some patients even take up to 2 months. Don’t lift anything heavy until you heal!

Sharon asks…

Laser surgery for Hemorrhoids - what is the recovery time?

Agnes answers:

Ruth asks…

Agnes answers:

James asks…

i want to know exactly what there going to d to my ass, and how long th recovery time is, what if feels like, what i won be able to do after surgery.. stuff like that, like i want a hole tour on it if you could.

anways thanks..!!

Agnes answers:

Hello Spence,

Yes Micheal is right, The affliction of hemorrhoids is highly painful for people and causes itching and irritation.

Blood vessels protrude out of the anus and rectum and prevent proper bowel movement. Blood clotting in the vessels is a sign of Thrombosed Hemorrhoid Treatment.

Amongst the various methods of hemorrhoid treatment, surgery is the most effective one. There are different types of surgeries as well but the fastest means is having the blood clot removed.

People can also undergo a laser surgery but it is very expensive. Also the entire hemorrhoid can be removed but it is a painful. Nevertheless, surgery is still an effective means of hemorrhoid treatment.

Hopes this helps you Spence, Get well Soon.

Regards,
Num

Your Questions About Leaking Hemorrhoids

By Agnes on Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 | No Comments

Michael asks…

do hemorrhoids usually leak fluid or bloody discharge, what is the best cure, this is so gross.?

Agnes answers:

Yes, your hemorroids can bleed.

Increasing your fiber intake (eating whole grains, whole wheat bread, flax seeds, sesame seeds, fruits and vegis etc) and increasing your water conspumption will make your bowel movments softer and less irritating to the affected area.

You can also use over the counter treatments like Preparation H (cream and wipes) or Tucks Pads to relieve your pain and discomfort. You can also take a stool softener like Colacse to act like a laxative.

If your condition doesn't get better, see your doctor for more treatment options

Thomas asks…

Hemorrhoids!?

I have one. And it hurts so bad. I guess I got it from pushing to hard while on the POT. So im using the suppository’s and the cream. And advice for getting rid of them? Secrets? I swear stuff that im using is nasty…..I hate the feeling of something creamy leaking out of my poo hole.

Agnes answers:

You need to get them surgically removed. They don't go away. I have them but it isn't severe so I don't worry. It can be annoying when it flares up though. It comes from sitting on the pot too long or straining. Also other ways but we won't get into that. Good luck.

Paul asks…

Kinda gross.... is it safe to have a bowel movement right now?

I either have a hemmorrhoid or an anal tear and I want to know if it's safe to have a bowel movement.

I read that if you have an anal tear and you have a bowel movement, it can cause bacteria to leak into your cut and can cause a blood infection. Is this true?

Also, would it be safe with a hemorrhoid? I just need to know the facts.

Yesterday, I had bright red blood on my toilet paper with lots of stinging and pain.

Agnes answers:

Yes, you can poop while experiencing hemorrhoids and/or anal fissures. How else are you going to eliminate the waste? If you hold it in, you'd have a much higher risk of a blood infection.

Laura asks…

Am I dying? Or should I even worry?

When I was about to take a bath today, a decent amount of dark red blood leaked from my anus. I couldn't tell how much there was because the water quickly turned red everywhere from the spot it started. I do not believe I have any hemorrhoids or fissures, and because the blood was dark, I am thinking it came from further inside. What are your thoughts on this,
I am a guy, bled from my anus, im not a woman I did not have a period lol.

Agnes answers:

I have been a colorectal surgical nurse now for 6 years and this is something that you should not ignore or delay in seeing either your general practictioner or a specialist. Usually hemorrhoids or fissures you are going to get bright red blood, and fissures usually feel like glass. Sounds like you will probably need either a colonoscopy or a sigmoidoscopy but you really need to be checked out, good luck

Michael asks…

What's the difference between herpes and hemmorhoids?

So, I was diagnosed with Herpes almost a month ago through a pap-smear with my second doctor's visit with my family doctor. I at first went to the walk-in clinic, and the doctor said I just had constipation...which is obviously a stupid diagnosis considering what I was feeling. The pain was excruciating. I could pass a stool for almost 2 weeks. And when I did, it was painful, and barely anything came out. I had discharge all day...and even leaked onto the patient paper on the examination table thing (idk what's it's called). So, obviously not constipation from that. The rectum/anus area turned red, and one red spot turned up. So, of course I touched it because I am just a curious person. And of course, I touched around the area after I touched the red pimple like thing. And had about 8-10 of these around my rectum. I only had this around my rectum/anus...not my vagina. I did have trouble peeing...like I had to concentrate more on that area, and had to pee standing up or backwards to pee.

I did not have a bloody stool and i didn't have a fever. I have looked all over the internet for the difference between hemorrhoids and herpes, and I couldn't find one thing.

Also to clarify...I did have anal sex with 2 different guys in 2 different nights. So...yeah. (no personal opinions necessary). And it was unprotected.

Could I possibly get a better diagnosis with a blood test rather than a physical exam or a swab?

So yeah...that's about the jist of it. Can somebody please answer my question(s)? Thank you in advance!

Agnes answers:

Doesn't sound like herpes to me. Herpes doesn't usually cause trouble with your stool, but it can cause burning pain when you urinate and or trouble urinating. Herpes usually looks like raised flesh coloured blisters but they can range in size and number. Herpes also usually causes itching, burning and or tingling symptoms to occur around your genitals, as well as flu like symptoms, tender lymph nodes and swollen genitals. An initial break out of herpes can be very pain full.
When you can't pass stool for more then a few days then you're constipated. If you strain your self too much when you try to pass a bowel movement or have rough stool then you can give your self some hemorrhoids, irritation, or bleeding in your anus. Or it could be a bacterial infection.
Pimples or bumps can also be caused by a number of things. Unless the doctor actually tested you then a visual diagnosis can be wrong.
The swab culture is the most accurate way to get diagnosed.

Mary asks…

bump just underneath tailbone?

I've had this irritating bump just beneath my tailbone at the upper tip of my asscrack. Sometimes it itches and other times when I lean back while I'm sitting, it gets sore. There's no blood, no trouble walking or laying down, I don't think it's a hemorrhoid. It's about the size of a pea. I do spend a lot of my day sitting down & I do think that it may be leaking mucus. What is this & how can I treat it? I'd rather not see a doctor because to be honest, my ass isn't exactly in the condition to be presented.

Agnes answers:

It's unlikely to be a hemmorhoid in that position. If it is draining there could be a cyst there. This is not that uncommon. Initially try warm tub soaks for 20 minutes twice a day. Sometimes this will draw out any infection and heal it. If this doesn't significantly improve it after a week or if it continues to get worse despite the soaks see a doctor. It may have to be drained by the doctor but I expect the soaks are all you'll need.
