Dealing with hemorrhoids
in Health ·
The itching is constant. It gets so intense that you can't help but scratch, which is a nightmare because if you irritate the skin or end up with a fungal infection, things just go from bad to worse. I'm positive it's hemorrhoids. I watch my diet and hydration, which helps quite a bit, but there's this recurring issue where I wake up around 5 or 6 AM feeling an unbearable itch. Since I'm still half-asleep and groggy, I end up scratching blindly in my sleep, which just makes the irritation even worse. By the time I'm at the office—exhausted and after my first cup of coffee—I finally head to the restroom, clean up properly, and apply some Vaseline cream, and the itching finally subsides. This has been happening almost every single day lately. If anyone has any advice or knows what I should do, please let me know. Aaaaahhhh!
