CNN is just noise when it comes to internal hemorrhoids that aren't actually causing you trouble...
I dealt with hemorrhoids once, and they were absolutely catastrophic... I have no idea what triggered it... maybe spicy food, too much sitting, who knows... it had never happened before and hasn't since... I always wash up after every bathroom trip, so it was likely a combination of sitting too much, hard stools, and eating way too much hot sauce...
But since I went down a deep rabbit hole researching this, I know a fair amount about the whole ordeal...
Anyway, after every single "movement," you SHOULD WASH UP... and we're talking minimal soap and COLD—not warm—water... warm water just dilates the blood vessels, which basically "feeds" them and makes the hemorrhoids swell even more...
The cream I swear by is called Dopamine... you can grab it over the counter at any pharmacy... my doctor recommended it to me after CNN failed to help at all...
I was doubled over in pain for about three weeks... couldn't lie down, couldn't sit, couldn't walk... felt like a total invalid... I had massive inflammation and about 6 to 8 large, swollen hemorrhoids right at the exit...
Once I started using Dopamine, the hemorrhoids actually started to BURST... I was bleeding like someone had shoved a knife in my backside... the largest, most inflamed ones popped, while the smaller ones calmed down and shrank, and the inflammation finally died out... everything cleared up in about 4 or 5 days...
Since then, if there's any stinging or itching after I wash and dry off, I just dab on some Dopamine and call it a day... no pain, no bleeding, nothing since...
If things have already reached an advanced stage, you should pick up a cleanser called ANSOO... if you use it in tandem with Dopamine, it works incredibly fast...
So, here are a few guidelines:
- Clean up with cold water and very little soap after every bathroom visit (ideally using Ansoo)
- At the first sign of trouble (stinging, itching, swelling), apply a little Dopamine
- Cut out extremely spicy, salty, and sugary foods... basically anything excessive is bad news
- Ditch TOMATOES (whether fresh or paste) at least until the flare-up passes
- Cut out wine, hard liquor, and Coca-Cola
- Move around more and sit less... if your job forces you to sit, at least get up and pace the office every half hour or so...
Sticking to these rules is vital because if you catch it in the early stages, you can prevent it from escalating... because once you suffer through a major inflammatory episode, there's a high chance it'll plague you for the rest of your life...
A buddy of mine has massive issues with hemorrhoids... he's even tried cauterization and every remedy under the sun, but nothing works... once they flare up, he's essentially bedridden for two weeks...
Hope this helps...
