Dealing with hemorrhoids
in Health ·
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been dealing with external hemorrhoids. They used to bleed all the time—and man, seeing blood is terrifying! It made me dread even going to the bathroom, which just made everything worse because I'd go days without a movement. I ended up having to drink Bekunis tea just to get things moving. Eventually, I got it under control by eating right. But lately, the whole mess has come back, only this time it feels like internal issues. Any time I deal with constipation, there's blood immediately. And the pain... sometimes it hits out of nowhere, feeling like someone is shoving a knife down there. It’s absolutely disgusting. It runs in my family too, so it's definitely genetic. Every time after a bowel movement, I make sure to clean up and apply some ointment (just using Vaseline) which, let's be honest, helps soothe the stinging and the ache down there. I thought I had it handled again by taking that syrup—I think it's called Balhalac—to clear out my system. But today was different and honestly, I'm a little worried. My stool wasn't hard at all; it was super soft (but not liquid), and the burning sensation during the movement was intense. I had to run to the bathroom three times in two hours, and the stinging is brutal. Last time I wiped, there was blood again... I don't get it. I wasn't even straining, and I haven't eaten anything spicy in the last month. I do skip meals sometimes and I drink a ton of coffee (with milk), though. I'm not really a sweets person—no chocolate or cake for me... What could be causing this?
