I am quite unfamiliar with that particular sensation; it only reminds me of those early-stage hemorrhoids that appear briefly and then vanish, though I did experience bleeding back when I didn't have any issues with hemorrhoids at all. Let us wait for Patrick Taylor16 and see what his perspective might be. 😉
Patrick Taylor16 said:Regardless of who the doctor is, they are infinitely more qualified than any of us here on this forum... at the end of the day, they are a trained professional, and believe me, if surgery is being recommended, you shouldn't hesitate for even a single second; just accept it. Maintaining a healthy diet is always beneficial, but as for creams—in my humble opinion, they only offer temporary relief and don't provide much help when looking at the long term. Whatever grows down there isn't going to simply vanish on its own unless it is addressed through one of the methods recognized by modern medicine today. If you have the funds, you can choose your preferred method, but if not, you simply take what is provided through insurance or public health services. 😢
I am hoping that I am not quite at the stage where surgery is necessary, though I cannot say for certain. To be honest, I don't think I have ever heard or read of anyone being completely cured of digestive issues, but perhaps I am just not very bright. I have heard of people resolving hemorrhoids, of course; my mother dealt with those quite quickly. I am curious, how are things functioning for you currently?
I really shouldn't have let myself get so worked up, but instead of just heading straight to a physician, I found myself wandering into a pharmacy first 🙂. Being young, I suppose I felt this misguided need to try every possible remedy on my own before finally admitting defeat, but it's become clear that seeing a doctor is now unavoidable since I seem to be stuck in this cycle. To be honest, I find myself feeling quite skeptical about our medical system lately, almost fearing they'll just toss me some generic laxative and call it a day, which isn't particularly funny. It feels like no one is taking my concerns seriously, and I've reached a point where I'm almost convincing myself that everything is fine and that these issues are just a normal part of life—which I know sounds rather foolish, but...
Thank you so much for your help, and I will certainly make sure to schedule an appointment

Greetings to everyone. I am hoping that someone might be kind enough to respond to my post. I am experiencing severe issues with constipation; I can go as long as seven days without a bowel movement, even though I am quite careful about my diet. I have a few herbal teas that provide temporary relief, but they only work in the moment; if I drink them for several consecutive days, I suffer from nausea, and my regularity never actually returns to normal. I find some relief from Miralax or dried prunes, but surely I cannot rely on Miralax and prunes for the rest of my life. Additionally, I am dealing with hemorrhoids; whenever I do manage to have a bowel movement, they flare up and then quickly recur. I apply refined lard to soothe them, but there is frequent bleeding and significant pain. I should also mention that I have had two similar episodes: once, I spent six hours on the toilet and was unable to stand due to the pain, yet nothing would pass, and I couldn't even urinate; everything felt extremely swollen. After I finally drank two liters of Miralax, everything passed at once, but I immediately developed a fever and had to spend the remainder of the day confined to my bed. In another instance, my abdomen became so bloated that nothing seemed to help, and I suffered from a fever for four days before finally finding relief. I realize I may have drifted slightly off-topic, but I believe these issues are all interconnected. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any insight would be deeply appreciated, as I truly do not know what to do anymore.
