Dealing with hemorrhoids

Perhaps you should try browsing through some of the older threads instead? 🙄

Why would I bother scrolling through everything when I've already got you 😎

I am going to start charging for this 🙂 😁

If we're talking internal hemorrhoids—get some ointment, see a doctor, and stop eating all that spicy, greasy, sugary, or salty junk...

If they're external—you need to wash with COLD water after every single bathroom trip, use soft toilet paper (think Charmin Ultra Soft), and apply some Preparation H every couple of days before bed (apply it and just let it dry)...

Assuming they aren't chronic, you really shouldn't be having issues after about a month...

A few ground rules to follow:
- Don't sit on cold surfaces
- Wash up after every bathroom visit
- Pat dry thoroughly until everything is completely dry; don't do what most people do where they just swipe once with the paper—moisture is basically an invitation for bacteria...
- Use cold or lukewarm water, but absolutely nothing hot, because heat just makes the swelling worse...
- Cut out the heavy spice and strong alcoholic drinks
- If things are getting a bit too solid and uncomfortable, drink more neutral liquids (water, tea) shortly after meals to help digestion, which makes everything much easier and prevents further damage...

If they become chronic, unfortunately, the only real fix is cauterization or surgery... sadly...
