Dealing with hemorrhoids
in Health ·
Hey everyone...🙂
In one of the older threads, I remember reading that someone joined this forum specifically because of the "chemistry" (that's my little nickname for them—we've been together for quite a while now), and well, I suppose I’m in the same boat.
Basically, I’ve gone through almost all the past posts; I found myself in some of them, though not all. For a long time now, I've been dealing with a bit of a situation with my proctologist—which I would strongly suggest to anyone experiencing even the slightest discomfort back there: please, go see a doctor sooner rather than later. The chances of them actually helping you are much higher if you catch things early, and it gives you more time to realize the severity of the issue and try to manage it through diet and lifestyle changes before things escalate. I certainly wasn't that wise!!! 🙂
My experience so far has been a revolving door of creams, ointments, and suppositories... whether they are American, European, or global brands, they might put out the fire, but they don't actually solve the underlying problem. I eventually reached a point where I felt I HAD to undergo surgery because I end up being out of commission at least once a month for a few days at a time, and I just can't work like that—thankfully, I have a wonderful boss who understands. So, anyway... I've given myself another six months to see if I can make some headway through diet and physical activity.
I tried using Hemeroidin, though I'm honestly not sure if it made a difference since I was seeing a proctologist simultaneously, who prescribed ProctoC + Procto after a month. Long story short, things were better for about six months, and then the problem returned in all its former glory. 🙂I see that Hemeroidin keeps coming up in the discussions, so I guess I'll give it another shot.
I’m also going to try that herbal supplement that Joshua Kim2 mentioned.
I can't exactly change my job—eight hours at a computer plus an hour-long commute between work and home—but I am going to try to take care of my backside a bit more carefully than I have in the past. How that will actually pan out, I haven't the slightest clue, especially since I'm already quite thin.
All I know is that from everything I've heard from people who have gone through it, surgery is a total catastrophe, and perhaps worst of all, there's a significant chance the problem just comes right back.
So, listen, people: the moment you notice even the tiniest issue, go to the doctor immediately. Take care of your hygiene, drink PLENTY of fluids, move around more, and really watch what you eat.
Best to you all!🙂
