Maybe they're just catching their breath.
Haha, my bad, totally misspoken there :P

Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?

amberfalcon6 said:Omg thank you so much, you're actually the first person today who's cheered me up🙂 I'm seriously so glad you replied, it helped a ton. I read so much nonsense online I almost had a breakdown, then I finally see my doctor and she just tells me to rub on this cream and that's it. She didn't even examine me, so maybe it really isn't anything serious... I hope your checkup wasn't painful or uncomfortable either.. I'm honestly happy for you. I really hope these hemorrhoids clear up, I'll keep using the cream hoping it works fast... she didn't prescribe suppositories, so I don't know.. for now I'll just stick to the cream, hopefully I'm not making a mistake... Big thanks for the help 😍
Thankfully mine passed, thank God, and I'm hoping they stay gone! If not, FACT is here haha 😁 No worries, good luck to you too 🙂
Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?

New here, just turned 18, so hey everyone 😁 Basically, I dealt with a small hemorrhoid recently and, like always, before even mentioning a health issue to my parents, I decided to self-diagnose using my best friend—the INTERNET. After googling everything, I convinced myself I had a perianal abscess. I thought I was headed for surgery and reading all that crap online sent me straight into a depression... ADVICE: stop reading too much stuff on the web because half of it is total garbage. Just go to a doctor and let them give you an actual diagnosis... So, after a week of suffering and pain, I finally told my folks and we went to see this great private specialist (he’s also treating me for Crohn disease 😢). He checked me out and said it was just a hemorrhoid. My parents were relieved as hell, but I was still shaken up because of all that junk I read... He prescribed some Fact cream and Fact suppositories (I HATE THOSE DAMN SUPPOSITORIES!!! -.-) and I only used two before deciding there was no way I was doing more... I just used the Fact cream and sat in cold water for 5 minutes whenever I bathed (cold water helps the swelling go down), and after about 4 or 5 days, the hemorrhoid just receded. I'm happy and satisfied... 😁 That Fact cream actually works! (Y)
Hemorrhoids happen because people aren't active enough, sit for too long, eat poorly which makes stools hard, strain when they need to go, or sit on the toilet way too long due to pressure imbalances and stuff... Moving more, eating healthy/varied meals (I eat everything, but obviously have at least one piece of fruit every day), and fiber are good for it... Hopefully that helps... Honestly, the cream really worked for me and everyone gets prescribed it, so just try it, you've got nothing to lose 🙂 Mind you, mine was external, but there are internal ones too (for those, the suppositories are good since they work from the inside—if you can stand them, that is) Enjoy and good luck! 🙂
