Topic: Serious sufferer. advice please

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.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

Hi Goz.
You are pretty young, life at your age can be very demanding.
From what I read, I'm not really sure you have hemorrhoids. It could be hemorrhoids, but it could also be some simple small wall breaches in your anal region. The first thing you should do is to see a doctor, since there are a good number of things that can trigger the clots and the blood stools.
Just a few questions to better visualize your problem. Are you in pain right now (is it itching, burning)? Do you make exercises at least 3-4 times per week? Do you go to gym? What is your height? Do you eat healthy (and regularly, 3 times per day)?
I have just released an e-book called Hemorrhoids Treatment Handbook. This book is not just a simple treatment guide, it actually contains some great natural recipes and tips on Chinese medication that can help you by calming down your anal region and healing your irritated tissues, I think you may be interested in it.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

Thank you dugu for your reply. The stools themselves do not contain blood. I understand that the stools would be a much darker colour if this was the case. Right now I am not in pain but I can often be for a few hours or more after passing a stool. It is a burning/stinging sensation around the anus. This would be similar to acid corroding the skin if i was to describe the pain. I cant really say that there would be itchyness all the time bt again, I have had this feeling often....usually for a short time after passing a stool and (embarrassingly) if passing wind. I am not a regular exerciser and I don't go to the gym. My diet is reasonable but could be much better. I am 6 ft (183cm) and have a well proportioned frame (not over weight). I am a clinical hypnotherapist so nutritional knowledge is relatively important for weight loss clients. I would normally pass a stool once and occasionally twice per day. I have been known to go a few days without passing but i'm not sure this is relevant. I will certainly take a look at your ebook and will see my doctor soon.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

You are right. Your stools would have a darker color if bleeding occurs internally. My recommendations are the following:
1. Start jogging for 15 minutes and then slightly increase it up to at least 30 minutes every day (at your age I think 1h of jogging is appropriate).
2. Eat 3 meals/day: the first between 8-10 am, second between 13-15 and the last between 19-21. Don't eat anything but fruits after 21 pm, and increase the vegetables in your diet.
3. The hemorrhoid problem you have can be treated at the beginning with a solution made from alum crystals (to reduce pain and shrink them - see Chapter 13 of our ebook) and after that with a Amoils/Venapro combination.
4. See a doctor.
Best wishes...

Thanks Dugu,

I will do this....although i'm afraid the jogging might take a little more motivation.

Jog in the evening; leave 2 hours to rest from dinner and then run for 15 minutes. It ain't long and will do wonders. Your blood circulation will improve, you will feel and be much healthy. Make a habit out of it and do this every day, no exception. Best thing you can do with 15 minutes.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

ok, i'll have to do it i guess. Thanks for the advice. The bleeding has calmed a little but this happens frequently. Here's to a healthier life.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

Hi Dugu,

Your site is so informative. I am also a sufferer.

I'm 20 years old and working as a quality coach in a Call Center here in the Philippines. 5'8" and weighs proportion to my height. My work needs me to be sitting to monitor calls for about 6hours and then coach my agents for the next 2 or three hours.
I do smoke around 3 to 6 sticks in a week, am not that smoker but I know this adds more pain on my anus.
I've been suffering this for about two years now, but only last night I have felt so much pain down there and I have seen so much blood that I have not felt and seen for the past two years. I was so worried and of course prayed for a Miracle that when I wake up, hope my hemorrhoids will be gone.

I visited lots of websites regarding this, Wikipedia in particular and I have read there something about "Squat position" while in the C.R, I have tried this earlier but it does help because I did not felt the same pain last night, but still the bleeding and the swelling and burning sensation was there.

There's also a comment posted in Youtube that I have read about "Paroven" tablets for varicous veins that helps remove hehr hemorrhoids in less than two weeks.

My dad had an operation with this last 1985, and unfortunately he passed away last 2004 because of colon cancer. I am definitely afraid to visit a doctor because I don't want to hear him saying that I need an operation.

My work is at night, I wake up at 10pm then comes home at around 12nn the next day. I can say that I eat healthy foods, I drink milk before I go to sleep and taking multivitamins everyday. It's just that I tend to skip meals while I'm at work.

Please help me. Is there some medications that I can take?

Hi Daniel.
Thank for joining and for your email.
Your work is a risk factor for hemorrhoids. Make sure you take some 10 min breaks every 2 hours. Just do some walking, some jumps, shake your legs a little, I'm not kinddin. This will help your anal veins. Do not skip meal, try to keep yourself on the track. 
At this age, you can cut smoking very easy. You are probably not addicted, so start to be serious about it and quit it. My advice: suddenly!
From what I read, you have bleeding hemorrhoids. Contact Amoils support and ask them if they ship their bleeding Hemorrhoids formula in Philippine. As for pills, I didn't hear about Paroven, but I can recommend instead Venapro medication.
I definitely think you need to see a doctor. When you do see one, make sure you also talk with him about your father.
I wish you best of luck in fighting hemorrhoids!

Hi I have been a Hemorrhiods suffer for at least 10 years and for the past 10 months they have been very bad, to the point where I haven't been able to leave the house. I tried all the usual routes of creams and suppositries, then many visits to the hospital including painful treatments with no long term success. I was at my wits end and very depressed but then I had a brain wave and went to visit a homeopath. Although it can be embarrassing to talk to a stranger about it believe me I was past caring. We went through medical history as well as personal history and she gave me a remedy that seriously changed my life. This may not be for everyone but I promise you it is well worth a go. I have a prolpased hemorroid and internal ones too, my prolapsed one has now shrunk and my internal ones are undercontrol, no more blood and no more pain when going to the toilet. It's not to say they will never come back but I visit my homeopath once a month so we keep on top of it and now my life has returned to normal, best of all no more creams etc.

Re: Serious sufferer. advice please

Medical treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms. Measures to reduce symptoms include
* tub baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes
* application of a hemorrhoidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time
Preventing the recurrence of hemorrhoids will require relieving the pressure and straining of constipation. Doctors will often recommend increasing fiber and fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fiber and drinking six to eight glasses of fluid—not alcohol—result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Eliminating straining also helps prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding.

Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In addition, doctors may suggest a bulk stool softener or a fiber supplement.

In some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated endoscopically or surgically. These methods are used to shrink and destroy the hemorrhoidal tissue. The doctor will perform the procedure during an office or hospital visit.
A number of methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of internal hemorrhoids. These techniques include
Rubber band ligation. A rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum. The band cuts off circulation, and the hemorrhoid withers away within a few days.
   Sclerotherapy. A chemical solution is injected around the blood vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid.
  Infrared coagulation. A special device is used to burn hemorrhoidal tissue.
Hemorrhoidectomy. Occasionally, extensive or severe internal or external hemorrhoids may require removal by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy.
If you wish ,you can buy cream for hemorrhoids - 20$  it work 100%  ask me how   on
