So, I noticed a few days ago that there's this little brown spot sitting about a couple of centimeters above my belly button, maybe around 4mm wide. It's just sort of a light brown circle—does anyone actually have a clue what that might be?

😉

I didn't touch anything spicy or heavy all day, and after lunch, I finally had a "movement" and there wasn't even a single drop of blood in sight. I didn't eat anything else in the afternoon besides that ice cream, but once I got back from my workout, well, nature called again, and this time the bleeding was actually pretty intense. But honestly? Everything is totally fine now. Like I mentioned before, these pills really did the trick for me 😉

So, I can tell you firsthand that after crushing a massive amount of ice cream yesterday, I had to hit the bathroom, and things were a bit bloodier than usual. Honestly, before that, there wasn't even a single drop of blood because those tablets I’ve been taking—the Hemoroidin ones from Encian—have been doing the trick. Now, whether they’ll work for anyone else is something I can't really swear by, but they definitely did the job for me 😉. I just finished up another round in the restroom a little while ago, and once again, not a trace of blood to be seen. If I had to guess what triggered yesterday's mess, it was probably that huge ice cream binge 😉.

So, I’ve been chewing on some stuff regarding internal hemorrhoids lately, mostly because I’m currently dealing with my own little situation:

1) What do you even call the specialist who actually handles this kind of thing? 🙂
2) And what does the actual exam look like once you get there? I was skimming through some info online and it sounds like they shove something into the rectum just to figure out what's going on—is that actually painful, and how much of my afternoon am I going to lose to this?

thanks 😉

Honestly, I’m just counting down the days until I can finally get rid of this constant nuisance... and I have to say, the rectoscopy itself wasn't painful at all, really. It was just a bit uncomfortable, nothing more than that.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of hemorrhoids are we talking about here—are they external or internal?

Lisa Cook81 said:So, here’s the deal... it’s been about two months now. I’ve been sticking to the routine, applying things twice a day—firstly using just some basic ointment for a solid month, and then switching over to something with lidocaine. Honestly? The pain is gone, there’s no bleeding, and nothing is stinging or burning anymore. But still, I just want them gone once and for all because they are driving me absolutely insane! 😠

So, I was wondering if anyone here has actually given those Hemoroidin tablets from Encian a shot? Like, did they actually do anything for you, or am I just throwing money down the drain?
😢
Thanks...

So, I finally bit the bullet and picked up those tablets today. I figured I’d give them a fair shake and then circle back in a week or two to let you guys know if they actually do anything. To be honest, I've been messing around with that Hemopropin cream for about ten days now, and if I'm being completely real with you, it hasn't exactly been a game-changer. Not seeing much of a difference at all, which kind of stinks, right? We'll see if the pills have better luck. 🙄

I’m also dealing with some internal hemorrhoids, so whenever I go after a big bathroom session, I end up seeing little drops of blood on the toilet paper. Personally, I don't think it's anything major, and I'm just hoping it doesn't escalate into something more serious or dangerous down the road. 🙄

Based on what he’s saying here, it sounds like you're pretty lean and might be having a tough time putting on weight. Let's be real—muscle doesn't just show up at your door unannounced, right? It takes a massive amount of grit, discipline, and actually knowing what you're doing. Everyone knows the drill: you need heavy lifting at the gym and, obviously, a seriously dialed-in diet.😉

So, if you really are running thin, your first move should probably be "bulking up"—meaning you need to put on some quality mass first. Once you've successfully packed on enough weight, then you can start the process of leaning out into that muscle, all while keeping up those intense gym sessions to actually build the strength.
