			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hi!  First off, thank you for having this site!  Very helpful and encouraging!

My question as per the topic subject might be silly but I had my first experience with a half-a-pea size hemorrhoid 5 days ago.  It doesn't hurt, itch or bleed...it's just there and it looks weird coz I am sure it wasn't there before.  I've been putting ice on it 2x a day coz I'm hoping and praying it will disappear.  It has shrunk in size i think and it goes in by itself without waiting for a push so to speak.  Anyway...would you happen to know if when it heals, that part of me will go back to looking normal?  

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday too just to make sure because like my username, I tend to be paranoid and I am already thinking of very bad things!  But I saw some of the pictures on your site and mine looks very similar to one of them.

Thanks for reading...and to the rest...hope all hemorrhoids in the whole wide world completely heal and disappear!]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hi. Great site here. Very helpful. I know self diagnosis is not recommended and is usually wrong. However, in this case, I think I may be right.

I'm a 25 yro male weighing at 90 kgs. I weighed just over 100 kgs about a year ago which is when I first noticed blood when wiping after a stool. Actually no; come to think of it.....I had an external hemorrhoid when I was 18. I am absolutely sure of this. But there was no blood and I often strain to quickly dispose of stools. The first sign of blood was last year and I thought I had torn my anus a little. Since then, I have suffered on and off with painful bowel movement and external hemorrhoids. I can't be 100% but I believe I also have internal hemorrhoids.

Over the past few weeks, there has been a considerable amount of bright red blood in the WC and when wiping. Occasionally there are clots when wiping. Less than an hour ago, there was more clotting than I have experienced before. I am guessing this is a prolapsed hemorrhoid. I have been hoping this problem will go away. Will it? 

PS - I work from home and sit quite alot but i sit on a very comfortable reclining couch. I spend as little time on the wc as possible. I do have a high meat diet and don't eat much veg. I do not exercise regularly. And I am married with kids...so no anal sex before.]]></summary>

Over the last few months I've been having trouble with going to the bathroom and after weeks of worrying, I was told by my doctor that I've got an external hemorrhoid. I've been also suffering from anal fissuers too. I've been using Uniroid-HC cream which works well. But still I can feel the hemorrhoid and it's sore at times. My doctor told me to keep using the cream for 2 weeks and if it's still there, go back and see them again. How should I deal with this? I take a bath each night, drink water and eat heathly food (but I do love junk ..... but been cutting down) but what esle can I do? Any advice would be great :)]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.hemroidshemorrhoids.com/community/topic/36/possible-hemorrhoids/new/posts/"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hi, your website is really helpful, however I am not sure whether I am suffering from hemorrhoids or something else.  I am 27, not overweight and have a fairly healthy diet and exercise regime.  For the last couple of years I have experienced pain whilst passing stools and have also had some blood when wiping.  I thought that it may have been external hemorrhoids as I had small lumps of skin/flesh outside of my anus.  I went to my doctor who provided me with a cream called anusol.  I have been using this on and off for some time and have not seen any improvement or change in my symptoms.  
I only experience pain whilst passing a stool and there is no burning sensation or pain afterwards.  Could this be something other than a hemorrhoid or would you recommend returning to the doctor?

Any advice very gratefully received.]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.hemroidshemorrhoids.com/community/topic/35/suffering-for-too-long/new/posts/"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I am a 23 year old female. I am pretty thin, and appear to be in good shape. (105 lbs) I was about 15 the first time I had a hemorrhoid. Everything about my lifestyle contributed to it- being home schooled a the time, not eating a balanced diet, straining often... It was external, and my mom took me to the doctor, who wasn't at all phased, and said there was really nothing that could be done. No one gave me any answers, tips, or solutions but my mom got me tucks medicated wipes which hardly did anything. As time went on, I did little to improve the condition and it only worsened. I was depressed, alone, and really unaware that I was making things much worse. After a few years and having researched it on my own, I tried creams like preparation H, which didn't seem to do anything, and tried to eat a more balanced diet. Now at the age of 23, I have multiple large and painful external hemorrhoids, and according to my doctor a month ago, internal hemorrhoids as well. Since they began, they have caused me more grief and embarrassment than I ever though imaginable. She prescribed me "anu-cort" suppositories, which seem to do hardly anything except cause leakage, and also gave me a business card for a local establishment called 'surgical specialists.' I suppose I should consult them before making a decision, but I am at the point where I am in so much pain, embarrassed every day, and just ashamed of myself, and I think surgery might be the only option left for me. I am afraid of complications, and I also have no idea about costs- I am insured with a low plan through my work, but I'm not even sure that would cover any of it- however, I would pay absolutely any amount of money to end my misery. Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you so much.]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.hemroidshemorrhoids.com/community/topic/34/small-ext-thrombosed-hem/new/posts/"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I have 1 internal hem and a small skin tag from a fissure from several years ago.  Neither bother me or cause any problems.  I eat well and exercise almost daily.  However, due to circumstances I can't figure out, I had a really bad BM a few weeks ago.  A few days later, I had a curious itch down there.  No pain, no bleeding.  The itch went away after a few days.  I went on a trip and drank lots of alcohol over a weekend.  When I returned, the itching came back with a vengeance and so did some pain when I passed gas.  It got worse over the course of a few days so I went to see my butt doctor.  He is not a surgery crazy doctor, very conservative...thank God.  He took one look and said it was a small thrombosed hemorrhoid...or a blood clot as he called it initially.  He said it was not a big deal, nothing serious and would go away in a few weeks.   

However, that was yesterday and today the itching has returned and it's sore after every fart.  Maybe he got it inflamed when he poked that thing in there to inspect it?  The LAST thing I want is to have this thing just continue to get worse over time.  Like most everyone who has turned to the web for information on hems, 99% of the posts are utter nightmares that make you want to slit your wrists when reading them.  I have never seen a single positive response from anyone who ended up getting surgery...just horrible nightmare posts.   

What I have is very small, just irritating...literally.  It itches, is only sore after I fart and honestly I can't see it when I look in a mirror, although I think I do maybe feel a little hardness right inside the anus sometimes.  Baths are about the only thing that give me instant relief.   

Do you think it will go away on its own?]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hemorrhoids refer to the swollen veins inside the rectal and the anal region that are painful and cause itching and bleeding. It has been estimated that more than half the population of the world suffer from this condition at least once in their lifetime. 

Hemorrhoids are one of the most common conditions that affect both adults and children from all over the world. Some of the symptoms of hemorrhoids include burning sensations, itching, swelling, burning sensations, and inflamed veins in the rectal and the anal regions. The hemorrhoids are characterized by blood in your stools or toilet paper. Knowing your symptoms is just the first step towards curing the problem. 

It is important that you educate yourself about hemorrhoids to know the different methods available to treat these. Hemorrhoids can occur anytime and to anyone, without any kind of warning. It is unlikely that you will even realize that you have hemorrhoids until the hemorrhoids has enlarged and is causing you irritation, pain and bleeding. 

The exact reason for the occurrence of hemorrhoids is not known. However excessive pressure exerted on the rectal region while passing stool, sitting for long periods and lifting heavy weights are the contributing factors. Pregnant women may also develop hemorrhoids due to excessive pushing of the infant during childbirth. 

Hemorrhoids are classified into external and internal hemorrhoids. There are times when an internal hemorrhoid gets pushed out of the anal opening. This happens when the bowel pushes the inflamed portion out. This is known as prolapsed or protruding hemorrhoids. The protruding hemorrhoids may get inside the anus by itself, or it will need to be pushed inside and at times it does not go back at all. This is the first and second degree of protruding hemorrhoids. 

There are times when a blood clot may form in the anal region. This is known as thrombosed hemorrhoids. This type of hemorrhoids is extremely painful and causes discomfort. It also has an effect in the blood circulation in that region. This is the third degree of prolapsed hemorrhoids.

The [b]protruding hemorrhoids[/b] are itchy and may also leak a fluid. This cases a lot of inconvenience to the person in his/her regular life. It will be difficult to walk, sit and do other regular chores. There might be bleeding in the event of the hemorrhoids getting strangulated. It is required that you get the hemorrhoids examined by a doctor. It is important that you report immediately if you notice any severe symptoms. It is easer to treat first and second degree hemorrhoids. A surgery may be recommended to treat the third degree kind of hemorrhoids.

Both the types of hemorrhoids require proper treatments that will help avoid blood loss and infections. There are a number of treatments that are there to treat the conditions. Some of the options include homeopathy, over-the-counter medicines, herbal remedies, and surgery. However you must try your best to avoid surgery. There are herbal remedies that work very well to reduce the inflammation and the pain. It also helps prevent the recurrence of the condition.

There are many ways you can prevent the occurrence of protruding hemorrhoids. It is important that you make certain changes in your dietary habits to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily food intake. These contain a lot of fiber and are very helpful to enable you to have a properly functioning digestive system. Fast food should be avoided at all costs. These dietary changes will help you to pass stool without constipation and prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids. 

Another effective way to prevent the condition is to drink a lot of water. This keep the stool soft and you can relieve yourself without exerting excessive pressure in the rectal region. One must avoid the consumption of tea, coffee and other beverages. Also, regular exercises are an important way to improve the blood circulation in all parts of the body and avoid hemorrhoids. However you must take care that you do not do exercises that put a lot of strain on your rectal and anal muscles. This will only aggravate the situation.

The treatment for internal and external hemorrhoids is not the same. It is best to let the protruding hemorrhoids be absorbed into the body slowly over weeks. Warm baths, creams and ointments are very helpful to provide relief. Protruding hemorrhoids are not life threatening and can be very well taken care of.

Protruding hemorrhoids will not persist for over a couple of weeks if you have taken care to soften your stools that do not require you to strain while relieving yourself. While most of the times you can resort to over-the-counter drugs or herbal remedies to counter the problem, if the condition persists, it is best to seek expert advice.]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hemorrhoid is one of the most common medical conditions that affect a number of people worldwide. It is a painful condition that causes much discomfort to the afflicted. Hemorrhoids refer to the tissues in the anal regions that have been inflamed due to straining during the bowel movements. These veins are situated inside the rectum and generally there is no pain that is felt, until the region swells and gets inflamed. There are also times when there is some bleeding and sometimes it feels like you want to defecate. 

There are different types of hemorrhoids. Therefore before you think about a cure, it is required that you know the type of hemorrhoid that you have. Once you know the kind of hemorrhoid that you have, you can find the solution as well. Hemorrhoids can happen both internally and externally. There are times when the internal hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus. This condition is known as prolapsed hemorrhoids. You will feel a lump while wiping your anus. These hemorrhoids will either go back inside your anus by itself, or you will have to push it back gently inside. Hemorrhoids are not serious if treated in the initial stages. However it might cause much pain if treatment is delayed. It might even require a surgery to remove the hemorrhoid.

While hemorrhoid can be extremely painful, it is reassuring to know that it is not a life threatening condition and that it can be treated.

Hemorrhoid ointments present an excellent way to relive the pain caused by painful hemorrhoids. This is the first remedy for people who are on the lookout for an affordable solution. While some people immediately seek surgeries to get rid of the hemorrhoids, one must not overlook the beneficial properties of ointments in treating the condition.

Hemorrhoid ointments have been used for a number of years and it is one of the most effective treatments that one can find in treating the hemorrhoid. Though ointments will not get rid of the hemorrhoid quickly it provides a very effective way to relive the patient of pain, discomfort and bring sensations. Ointments are immensely effective as these have anti-itch properties that help to treat itching sensations that are caused by the condition. The ointment also prevents the occurrence of further infection that is caused by scratching the region. 

Hemorrhoid ointments work by blocking the nerve endings. This helps to bring much relief to the affected regions.  Regular application of the ointment not only provides temporary relief but also helps to prevent future occurrences. When applied, the ointment coats the skin around the anal region and relieves the discomfort caused by the condition. The ointment can be used for both internal and external application. You can seek the help of medical professional if you are unable to apply it internally yourself. 

[b]Hemorrhoid ointments[/b] are not very expensive and come at affordable prices. There is also no need to visit a doctor and seek expert advice. These medicines can be bought over the counter without any prescription. Hemorrhoid ointments are extremely helpful in bringing relief from the pain and discomfort. Having these ointments with you will help you prevent the itchiness. However if you are suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure or any such serious conditions it is best to seek the doctor's advice before using the ointment.

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[A hemorrhoid is a common ailment that happens to both men and women. These are enlarged painful swellings in the anal regions. According to statistics, 50% to 85% of the population of the world has been affected by hemorrhoid at some point in their life. Every person suffering from this condition is on the lookout for an effective remedy. Fortunately hemorrhoid can be both treated as well as prevented in most of the cases. While searching for a remedy you must look for something that not only gives temporary relief but also treats the hemorrhoid permanently.

Hemorrhoids are often the result of the swelling and the rupturing of veins in the area caused by excessive pressure. There are a number of factors that are responsible for the increased pressure in the area. Recurring constipation, obesity, diarrhea, and pregnancy are some of the causes that lead to hemorrhoid. 

While modern science has a number of medicines to treat the disease, there are many effective remedies as well that can bring immediate relief. Chemical creams and ointments, while often recommended can have side effects on the body and may not cure the disease permanently. Another practice is to remove the hemorrhoid through surgeries. These are not only painful but also cost a lot of money. The patients also have to suffer from negative side effects after the surgery. 

There are a number of safe and effective home remedies to treat the condition of hemorrhoid. Whether it is slight itching or painful swellings, these remedies can treat a broad array of conditions. If you are eager to cure your hemorrhoid you will need to address the condition at the earliest. It will do no good to ignore it and the problem can get even worse if it is not treated soon. 

Herbs are used extensively to treat the condition of hemorrhoid. You can apply aloe vera directly on the painful swellings and it relieves the pain and also soothes the burning sensations. You can also use goldenseal root, bayberry, white oak and myrrh to relive the pain caused by the bloody swellings. You can brew Lady's mantle and apply on the swellings with a cotton ball a number of times everyday. Witch hazel is also known to relive the pain caused by hemorrhoid. Olive oil and baking soda are other natural hemorrhoid pain relievers. These heal the strained blood vessels and also help in softening the bowel movements. Simply applying these directly on the affected parts brings a lot of relief to the anal regions.

For a lot of people making a few changes in the lifestyles helps in treating and also in preventing the disease. One of the most important tips to treat hemorrhoid is to avoid straining while you are relieving yourself. Straining at the time of passing stool causes irritation as well as painful swelling in the rectal area which in turn causes hemorrhoid. If you want to keep hemorrhoid at bay it is important that you do not strain. For this you must make sure to consume a lot of fruits and vegetables to have a healthy digestive system. It is very important to eat foods that are rich in fiber. It is important that you stay away from digestive problems at all costs. This in turn makes it easier for stool to pass without you having to strain. 

Another helpful remedy is to avoid sitting in one position for long. Sitting in one position for prolonged periods without any break can worsen the situation of hemorrhoid. If you are in a job that requires you to sit and work for long hours, it is important that you get up every few minutes and take breaks. 

An effective [b]home remedy to treat hemorrhoid[/b] is to drink a lot of water. Hemorrhoid cause a lot of pain and stress and to avoid this you must see to it that your bowels are always soft and easy to release and do not cause any strain in the rectal region. You need to make sure that you are drinking 8-10 glasses of water everyday. Drinking a lot of water keeps the system hydrated and is very beneficial for your overall health. Also, make sure to avoid beverages that comprise coffee or alcohol. These drinks cause constipation and dehydration. 

Exercises are also recommended to treat hemorrhoid. Also it is required that you practice good bowel movement. Ensure that you do not hold off for long the urge to use the toilet. This would cause strain in your pelvic region. Make sure that you do not sit for very long in the toilet as this too will aggravate the condition.

These home remedies are extremely helpful to treat the hemorrhoid in the initial stages. If followed properly these ensure that you do not have to face the discomfort and the pain of hemorrhoids.

In hemorrhoids the blood vessels in the rectum region swell and enlarge to form big swollen clots of blood. While these may not hurt initially, it becomes very painful in the later stages. The first indication of the occurrence of hemorrhoids is itching in the region. The condition becomes severe if attention is not paid. There are a number of reasons for the occurrence of hemorrhoids including hyper tension, high blood pressure, obesity, bad food habits and digestive problems. Hemorrhoids can also be genetic. These happen to pregnant women as well.

In extreme situations the hemorrhoids may bleed and become swollen. One of the symptoms of acute hemorrhoids condition is when the swollen mass of tissue starts to come out of the anus.

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[First off, thanks for the great site, it has been by far the most useful site I've come across on the internet.  Right now, I'm out of work and have no plans to visit a doctor, but I definitely have a hemroid.  I am looking for any additional information someone can offer.  And also if I am being an idiot not going to the doctor, my initial thoughts are to wait at least a week before I consider a doctor visit.

So I have an external hemroid about the size of a blueberry (looked at it and it looks exactly like pictures I saw online).  There has been no bleeding or signs of blood.  I am a 32 year old male and in very good shape.  On Friday I had a large bowel movement where I strained quite a bit.  I felt uncomfortable afterwards but not in pain.  On saturday I had another bowel movement that was quite uncomfortable.  However it wasn't until I went to the gym and exercised that things became painful.  I came home, looked with a mirror and saw the hemroid, like a fleshy blueberry right on the side of my anus.  I can sit, cough, walk.  I can do all this, but with an accompanying pain (mild pain).  The exercising seemed to really push things over the edge, making the problem go from "I feel funny after a bowel movement" to "straight up pain".  I plan to wait until next thursday before even thinking of consulting a doctor.  I figure a couple of days of taking it real easy should make things go away.  I plan on icing it, laying down mostly, eating prunes, only wiping once with wet toilet paper after a bowel movement and then taking a shower, drinking lots of chamomile tea and avoiding alcohol, meat and dairy.]]></summary>
