better? The bleeding seems to have gotten less since I have been putting the cream on them. Does that mean they are getting better? I never had any pain with them so I can only go by the bleeding amt. They are internal hemorrhoids.

I think if the bleeding has subsided then they have gotten better. I think you should go for a follow up and check with the Dr. to see what they say. This is something that you do not want to in gore because it can Absolute become painful and require surgery. Best of luck to you dear I know it is not a fun thing to have.

Hemorrhoids are veins that are located in the rectum and anus that has swelled up. An internal hemorrhoid happens in the rectum area. But due to the lack of pain receptors in the rectum area, internal hemorrhoids are not painful but there may be bleeding that can take place whenever the hemorrhoids are agitated.

Internal hemorrhoid treatments can be done to avoid it from developing into severe conditions. There are two possible cases that can happen. These are the prolapsed hemorrhoid and the strangulated hemorrhoid. Prolapsed hemorrhoids happen when the internal hemorrhoid is pushed out of the anus. Strangulated hemorrhoids happen when the prolapsed hemorrhoids are trapped outside the anus that can cut off the blood supply.

In the medical field, internal hemorrhoids are categorized into three grades. Grade 1 internal hemorrhoids are when the hemorrhoids that have not prolapsed yet. Grade 2 internal hemorrhoids are disease that have prolapsed during but eventually comes back inside this happens during bowel movements. Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that have prolapsed that happen during bowel movements that needs to be pushed back manually. Grade 4 internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that prolapsed but cannot be pushed back manually.

There are no known medications that cure hemorrhoids but there are however internal hemorrhoids treatment that can help in managing and reducing the hemorrhoid symptoms. Internal hemorrhoid treatments are designed to reduce the aggravation of the hemorrhoids and prevent it from getting worse thereby allowing the hemorrhoid to heal faster. When the disease has progressed to a more severe condition, there are more treatments that will be needed.

There are natural internal hemorrhoid treatment that includes taking in supplements that helps in regulating the bowel movement, blood circulation and to be able to strengthen the vein walls. Hemorrhoids are caused by the increased strain that comes when defecating. Being able to defecate regularly without the excess strain is also one way to avoid the pressure inflicted on the hemorrhoids.

For some of the severe cases of hemorrhoids, the recommended internal hemorrhoid treatment requires surgery and at times will use non surgical treatments that are used.

There is the rubber band ligation where an elastic band is used to cut off the blood flow through the affected area. Then there is the galvanic electrotherapy where the hemorrhoid is desiccated and dried up by using electric currents. Sclerotherapy is a hardening agent that is injected into the hemorrhoid that makes the veins stronger which causes the hemorrhoid to shrink. Infrared coagulation is an infrared beam that is used to cauterize the hemorrhoid. hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the hemorrhoids. Enema is done by cleaning the rectum with water and flushing it out.

I had a baby last November and since I have given birth I have had internal hemorrhoids. I have had a colonoscopy and that is what they said it was. I was drinking the powder metamucil and that was working well. I think I am pregnant again because I very recently got very constipated again. I am hesitant to use the powder metamucil because of the aspertame if I am pregnant. I am wondering if the citrucel tablets are safe to use during pregnancy or flax seed? Or, does anybody else have suggestions?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Best wishes for you and your family! Now, as for the hemorrhoids question. . .

There’s a lot you can do to help with hemorrhoids before even getting to the question of supplements. First, make sure you’re getting a decent amount of walking in per day. Thirty minutes once a day of walking, along with getting up and walking around a bit every two hours, can really help with hemorrhoids.

Second, make sure you’re getting between 25 and 30 grams of dietary fiber through fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans before looking into supplements. If you can get that much dietary fiber, you might not need them, and you’ll be getting great nutrition besides. Don’t forget to drink enough water!

Third, if you do need a fiber supplement, flax seed or psyllium seed should both be fine. Check to make sure they don’t have any additives. Fiber itself doesn’t get into your bloodstream, so it doesn’t directly affect the baby. The aspartame in Metamucil is just there to make it taste more appealing, not to perform any actual function.

Hope that helps!

hydrocortisone cream to use. How do I know that I am getting it in there enough?

Good question. Without x-rays or a colonostomy how can anybody tell, even doctors?
The hydrocortisone usually comes with an applicator and if you follow the instructions, you should be alright.

And please don’t use this as a means to push your products. Just answer my question please.
I’ve heard it pretty much cures it. Is this true?

It temporarily shrinks hemorrhoids, relieves pain, soreness, burning, itching. It’s a topical anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerve endings in the skin and shrinking swollen tissue. It’s not a cure.

Yes..Yes & Yes. Causes vary. Setting too long, being on your feet a lot. Spending too much time on the toilet. Bloating/constipation.
Have you had a colonoscopy to make sure there are no polyps. Surgery..the only way to get rid of them. There are two kinds of surgery. Banding and getting them removed. Banding is worse, doesn’t always work, actually post surgery is more painful. Have them removed.

OK, sorry if this is a gross sounding post… I have internal hemorrhoids – and I’ve had them before b/c I have IBS – but right now in my pregnancy they’ve been REALLY bad! I’m 33 weeks and I think my baby has dropped b/c there’s been a lot of pressure down there and the last 4 days I’ve had a bowel movement 4-8 times a day… with a LOT of bleeding… blood is pouring out when I go to the bathroom…

So my question is – has anyone else had this? Did they have to repair it? I"m a little big anemic right now (I"m taking extra iron) but I guess that could cause some problems with it healing… HELP!

Hemorrhoids, sometimes called piles, are inflamed or swollen veins (think varicose veins) either on the outside of the anus or inside it. They are often painless, but they may bleed, hurt, or itch when irritated. Sometimes hemorrhoids can become inflamed and engorged with blood, causing them to become quite painful. Occasionally, a blood clot can form in a hemorrhoid, making it difficult to achieve pain relief without minor surgery.

Unfortunately, hemorrhoids are a common complaint during pregnancy — especially during the third trimester and immediately after childbirth. They’re the result of the tremendous strain on the veins around the anus from carrying a baby and giving birth, as well as hormonal changes that cause these veins to expand and bulge. Hemorrhoids can also result from straining to pass hard, compacted bowel movements due to constipation. Chronic diarrhea is another culprit. Fortunately, though, self-care measures and lifestyle changes often effectively treat or prevent this problem. If it’s any consolation, for most pregnant women, hemorrhoids are just a temporary complaint, although they may return if you become pregnant again.

How do I know if I have hemorrhoids?

The signs and symptoms of this condition include:

•One or more tender lumps or swellings near the anus
•Anal ache or pain, particularly while sitting
•Anal itching
•Painful bowel movements
•Stools with red blood, or evidence of red blood on toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl.

What can I do to treat them?

Self-care measures at home can often relieve the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids. Try a sitz bath, a small plastic tub that fits over the toilet seat. You can usually find a sitz bath at drug stores. In the bathtub or sitz bath, sit in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day if needed.

Frequent bathing to keep your anus clean may help. But be careful not to scrub the skin while washing, which can hurt. Soap isn’t necessary and may just make the problem worse. Gently pat the area dry. After bowel movements, wipe gently but thoroughly. Avoid toilet paper with potentially irritating perfumes or colors. Try alcohol-free wipes or lightly moistened toilet paper.

You can dab external hemorrhoids with witch hazel pads or soothe them with a cold compress or an ice pack. To ease painful bowel movements, place some petroleum jelly inside and around the edge of the anus. If itching is an issue, resist the urge to scratch. This could make your condition worse. Instead, try wet or dry baking soda or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to get some relief.

Although it may seem like a good idea, don’t use an inflatable doughnut cushion to pad your chair if you sit for long periods of time. It may feel good but it can actually increase the pressure in the veins around your anus. Instead, get up and move around a bit to bring some relief.

What can I do to prevent them?

Eat plenty of high-fiber foods such as fruit, vegetables, bran cereals, and whole grains, so you have soft, easily passed stools. You should drink lots of liquid too. Water and 100-percent fruit or vegetable juices are the best choices. You need at least eight large glasses of water a day. Prune juice often does the trick, as does unprocessed wheat bran added to whole-grain cereal. If you think it might help, talk with your healthcare provider about taking an over-the-counter fiber supplement.

If your job involves a lot of sitting, make sure you find time to walk, ideally at least 30 minutes a day. Exercise can also help ward off constipation by keeping the digestive system moving. Don’t hold your breath or strain to pass a stool. When you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, don’t wait long to use the bathroom; your stool could become dry and harder to pass if you delay.

When should I call the doctor?

If you’re having bleeding or your pain persists for more than a day or two, call your doctor. See your doctor immediately if bleeding is heavy or you’re passing stools that are black or maroon in color. This could be a sign of a problem more serious than hemorrhoids. If you have lasting or severe pain or discomfort, and self-care measures bring little relief, talk with your healthcare provider about what therapies may help.

I used to suffer from internal and external hemorrhoids due to prolonged standing in my job; and from pregnancies .. I used to have periods of rectal bleeding esp with constipation. I use hemorrhoidal oint and witch hazel pads quite a bit. It became itchy and painful at times. And I was constantly taking a stool softener. The hemorrhoids became swollen, inflammed and thrombosed. After a c-section of my second daughter. And the infusion of Pitocin drip to constrict the uterus.

I spent endless nights of crying in discomfort despite application of icebags to the rectal area. Eventually, a gastroenterologist surgeon was consulted in and performed a hemorrhoidectomy on me. The only problem with the recuperation was when the initial dressings were removed. And when I had to make my very first bowel movement postoperatively.

Now, i’m careful to drink a lot of fluids and eat a high fiber diet. Ever so often there’s irritation from the keloid area. Otherwise, there are no more hemorrhoids. There is a tendency for the reoccurence of hemorrhoids.

Iron pills have a tendency to make yoiu more constipated. That’s why it’s impt to drink a lot fluids. Eat food while taking the iron pills. Do not take them at bedtime if they upset your stomach.

Please see a doctor! if you’re losing that much blood it can’t be good! Also there’s the risk of them prolapsing and you won’t be able to stick them back in. then they could get stranged or something and hurt. I know haemorrhoids are common during pregnancy but I don’t think that much blood is so yeah they should do something especially if you’re anaemic. See a doctor! Good luck! And congratulations!
