Jeremy Phillips94 said:Can hitting the gym harder actually trigger or make hemorrhoids worse? I've been seeing those usual little signs pop up—you know, the kind that show up a million times and then vanish—but this time things have definitely escalated. I'm talking specifically about running. I'm already using some ointment, but I'm thinking about cutting back on whatever is causing the damage.
Also, question #2: are you supposed to apply the cream rectally only, or does it matter if you hit the external area too?
It totally can, because cranking up your physical activity gets your heart pumping harder, which basically cranks up the pressure in your blood vessels; honestly, I wouldn't tell you to stop working out, but you should head to a pharmacy and look for Pilex tablets—they have a blue logo, not that green Himalayan stuff—a 28-count pack goes for about $200, and trust me, they aren't breaking the bank, they were the only thing that actually worked for me, though for the first three days of treatment you'll feel like they're doing absolutely nothing before suddenly everything just starts receding... before I started this, I was dealing with issues twice a year, but now it's been three and a half years without a single real problem, and even when I see a few warning signs, I just grab a smaller 14-capsule pack and kill the issue right at the start, so in the last four years I've only bought three packs total, two big ones and one small, totaling maybe $500 over the whole four years.
Hey everyone, just wanted to drop some wisdom regarding hemorrhoids. I'm 26, and honestly, dealing with this crap started way too early for me—around 19. My own damn fault, really, because I spent too much time sitting on cold, wet ground, which apparently isn't the best move for your backside, but hey, what's done is done and I've gotta live with it. Anyway, if you're young and reading this, or if you're older, please show this post to your sons so they can avoid my mess. I end up battling this twice a year, usually late autumn when the weather starts acting up. It’s been pretty nasty; I’ve even dealt with third-degree hemorrhoids that were actually bleeding on me. But listen, after struggling for two months straight recently, I finally heard about these Pilex tablets. There are two versions—the Himalaya Pilex and the one with the blue logo. I don't know much about how the first ones work, people say they aren't all that, but the second version is pricey. A 48-capsule pack runs you about $200, but man, they are worth every cent. Two months of pure misery vanished in just four days; they completely receded. My advice? Grab those tablets to kill the immediate pain, and then switch to Detralex whenever you need to stay ahead of it. You can get 60 tablets for $27, which helps prevent them from coming back. At least, that's my game plan every time I feel a flare-up starting. Cheers, and I really hope this helps some of you fight the good fight.
I haven't personally messed around with Pilex Himalaya, but honestly, those ones with the blue logo were a total lifesaver for me; I was dealing with constant misery for two whole months, and then after just four days of using them, everything finally cleared up, so even though the tablets are pretty pricey, they are absolutely worth every cent in my book.
