Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?
in Health ·
Greetings. 🙂 I am twenty years old and have been struggling with internal hemorrhoids and irregular bowel movements for several months now. To be honest, I am at a loss as to how to proceed. My stool is rarely formed and tends to be quite hard, which causes constant internal pain and eventually leads to bleeding after a bowel movement. Even when the consistency is softer, I experience sharp pain in one specific area, and the bleeding persists. I have already adjusted my diet to include more fiber, and since I am currently following an anti-candida protocol, I am avoiding all sweets entirely. I have even tried using Fact ointment, though I haven't noticed any significant relief. I find it baffling that I am still experiencing these issues despite being on such a strict regimen—avoiding heavy foods, limiting spice, and constantly taking probiotics. My doctor doesn't seem particularly concerned, likely because of my age; he suggests it is merely stress-related, yet he hasn't even performed a physical exam. Given that this has been ongoing for some time and hasn't improved despite weeks of dietary changes, I am starting to feel genuinely anxious.
