Dealing with hemorrhoids

slytinker36 said:I just wanted to share my own experience with Paul. Honestly, it was a waste of money. I found that the hemorrhoid treatment from Enclave works just as quickly, if not faster, and it’s 12 TIMES more affordable. If you pair it with a decent ointment, it’s plenty for mild external symptoms.

I'm dealing with grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids, and frankly, I've tried almost every cream and pill recommended on these forums, but nothing seemed to make a dent (the standard over-the-counter stuff provided temporary relief, but that was it). I eventually started taking Paul (I've used 14 tablets so far and have three left), and the difference is night and day. The pain is gone, the bleeding has stopped, and they look about 80% smaller. I can't say how long the effects will last, but for me, it worked wonders. Of course, you still have to stay disciplined with your diet, use a vein gel, take a stool softener like Metamucil, and maintain strict hygiene. If you can go six months without issues, it’s worth every single penny.🙂

I guess I’ll add my two cents too 😁
I dealt with hemorrhoids about three years back (heavy bleeding really delayed things). At first, I totally overhauled my diet, used plenty of Baxter, and made sure to walk a lot. Once things leveled out and they finally calmed down—which took maybe six months—I slowly started getting back to my old routine while keeping an eye on what specifically triggered them. Nowadays, too much processed meat, greasy stuff, hard-boiled eggs, and fast food just don't sit right with me. Alcohol—whether it's whiskey or red wine—and BBQ don't bother me much, though I have to be moderate about everything, obviously. In the meantime, I bumped up my workouts, which makes me feel way better, and I started eating more grains (just a bowl of cereal with milk every morning and nothing else).

I’d honestly suggest everyone just listen to their body instead of hunting for some quick fix. Hemorrhoids are basically a sign that we've been living a bit too recklessly and need to fix our habits. People tend to ignore them until things get bad enough that they end up needing surgery, but that doesn't actually fix the root cause—it just deals with the symptoms, so they usually just come back anyway.

I rely on hemorrhoid cream for relief. It is sold under that exact name at most pharmacies.
I applied it once before losing the tube; I felt fine for a week, but then the symptoms returned. After two weeks, I finally found it again and reapplied it. So far, the discomfort has completely vanished. 🙂
My issues clearly stem from too much fast food and sitting for extended periods. I rarely eat meat unless it's from a drive-thru, which has been my main diet over the last year. I am trying to stay active and sit less. Will these changes make a difference? 🙂

I applied it once before losing the tube, and things were fine for about a week before they flared up again. After two weeks, I finally found the ointment and started using it again, and so far, everything seems totally normal—it's like the issue just vanished. 🙂
My main problem is definitely my diet and sitting way too much. I don't usually eat much meat, but I've been overdoing it on fast food for the last year. I am trying to stay active and sit less. I guess we'll see if it actually works. 🙂

Could you please tell me exactly what that cream is called?

Thanks!

I’m trying to figure out if anyone else deals with this constant burning and aching sensation down there—it’s not even bleeding or anything, just this weird, unsettling feeling like everything is about to slip out 😲 and this massive, radiating pain everywhere else too.... I don't have any spotting or bleeding, but man, the stinging and soreness in my lower half is just brutal... I honestly can't tell what's causing the burn or why it hurts so much.

I've been dealing with this thing for years—honestly, I can't even remember how long. I think it started because I was too stubborn to use public restrooms at school; I just wouldn't go anywhere except home. Plus, I spent way too much time sitting around and barely moved, which runs in my family too. 😢 I guess I got what was coming to me for being so difficult. 😵

Sometimes I used that hemorrhoid cream, but it’s such an unappealing color that it always makes me feel gross when it leaks onto my underwear, regardless of whether I'm wearing a pad or not. 😠
I'll try some of the tips mentioned here, but right now I'm wondering if anyone has actually used those hemorrhoid cushions. Sorry if this was already covered; I haven't had the time to read through everything. Since my job requires so much sitting, I really need to find some relief. Do they actually work? Are they something you pick up at a CVS, or...? I've seen them online, but I'd rather see one in person 😁 before I commit to buying it.

In order to truly tackle the issue of hemorrhoids, one must first address an individual's dietary habits, as applying topical ointments or creams serves merely as a fleeting, short-term fix. It is my firm belief that a sedentary lifestyle—characterized by a lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, and high levels of stress—constitutes one of the primary drivers behind their development. I personally experienced this exact issue during my college years when I was subjected to intense academic pressure and neglected my eating habits entirely. I eventually managed to resolve my condition by drinking beet juice on an empty stomach every single morning, a ritual I have faithfully maintained for over a year now. This practice effectively cleanses the digestive tract and promotes regular bowel movements, essentially purifying the colon. I am quite meticulous about what I consume; my diet consists heavily of vegetables, particularly legumes and kale, both of which are excellent for digestion and regularity, though I would specifically highlight kale as an exceptional cleanser for the system. Regarding topical treatments, I would highly recommend using some locally sourced dandelion oil, as it works to soothe inflammation and aids in the healing of small wounds, thereby alleviating the discomfort of hemorrhoids.

I’ve been dealing with hemorrhoids for about 15 years now, and I finally bit the bullet and went in for surgery at the Mayo Clinic under Dr. Grzalje back on May 29, 2010. At the time, I had four of them—huge ones, honestly, about the size of a nickel. They put me under general anesthesia, and the whole procedure dragged on for three hours... they cauterized two and surgically removed the other two. Recovery was brutal; I couldn't even walk for 15 days because of the pain. I truly thought I was done with this nightmare for good, but damn it, a new one popped up about 20 days ago. I watch my diet strictly—nothing greasy, spicy, or heavy—but they just keep coming back. I’m applying St. John's Wort oil with Hemophill and using Preparation H every single day, plus doing chamomile baths twice a day... but this new one won't recede, even if it isn't swelling much either.
I maintain strict hygiene and I don't drink at all.
At this rate, I think I'll be stuck with these little hieroglyphics for the rest of my life... :-)
Does anyone actually know how to prevent these things from coming back forever?

I really thought I had finally seen the last of them, but wouldn't you know it... a little protrusion popped up again about 20 days ago. I don't eat fatty foods, spicy stuff, or anything heavy, yet they just keep coming back. I'm applying St. John's Wort oil mixed with Hemophill and using Preparation H every single day, plus taking chamomile baths twice a day, but this one won't recede... though it isn't swelling much either.

Thank you!

Hemorrhoid cream. That is what it is called. 🙂

mistypuma said:I have occasionally used that hemorrhoid cream, but its color is quite unappealing. Is there any way to prevent it from staining my underwear, even when wearing a daily liner?😠

Why not place a bit of toilet paper against your underwear for a few minutes? The cream dries so quickly that way, you won't have any issues with stained clothes. 😉
It would be better if I just tucked myself between the heavy hitters to make sure I don't budge. Wouldn't that be the simplest solution? 😁

Sometimes I deal with such massive stools that after I go, I’m literally groaning in pain—feels like I’ve been kicked in the ass. Usually, I have a major weakness for meat and sweets... is it possible to pass blood during defecation? Is that a total death sentence??

Thanks, Princess Diana.😁
Picked up that clear Dolokain gel today 😍. Hopefully it actually does something, since I already went through the hassle of $17 getting a gamma-sterilized prep. :P
Still thinking about that cushion, but I'm too embarrassed to ask at the pharmacy. A woman called me "ma'am" today, probably assuming I was pregnant.🙂

Hey everyone, quick question... I’ve had this little lump near my anus for quite a while now. I haven't really done anything about it because I figured it would just go away on its own—but apparently, it isn't. It’s nothing huge, not hard, doesn't hurt, and there's no bleeding. The only thing is, it itches. Just wondering if this sounds like hemorrhoids? And if so, what should I be using to make this thing actually disappear?

Hey there!
So, I just got back from getting my BarronL implant placed right on my backside🙂
I was wondering if anyone here has actually gone through this—what’s the recovery process like? Honestly, so far, things aren't too bad...
Thanks in advance!

Hey there!
Just got back from having my Barron ligature applied to my backside
I was wondering if anyone else here has gone through this—what’s the recovery process actually like?? So far, it's not too bad...
Thanks in advance!

Oh, and one more thing... I have zero clue how to prevent them from coming back... at least nothing groundbreaking, anyway🙂
I really lived a pretty messy lifestyle before, so I'm crossing my fingers that these little monsters won't return if I finally get my act together! (which I plan to🙂)

I honestly lived a pretty messy lifestyle, so I'm really hoping these little monsters won't return if I actually fix my habits! (And believe me, I plan to)

I've had this little lump near my rear for quite a while now, but I haven't really done anything about it because I figured it would just go away on its own. Well, turns out it's still there... It isn't huge, it's not hard, it doesn't hurt, and there's no bleeding—it just gets really itchy sometimes. So, I'm wondering, is this just hemorrhoids? And if they are, what should I be using to make this thing disappear?

I mean, it pretty much has to be that!! If it's itching and bothering you... it's a hundred percent that! Try using some FactCheck for a few days and see how it goes!

I dealt with hemorrhoids for years—they weren't a huge deal and didn't bleed, but then they started hurting like crazy. It wouldn't stop for a whole month! Still no blood, but my stools were getting thin and weirdly shaped. I went to a private clinic and got diagnosed with 2nd and 3rd-degree hemorrhoids. They recommended DG HAL, so I went through with the surgery. Everything cleared up within a month, and I felt totally fine for about two months. Now, things are acting up again! I'm heading back for a checkup soon to see what's going on. Fingers crossed they haven't come back, but we'll see what the doctor says...

I’ve been browsing this website, and they’re running ads all over the local papers claiming to cure hemorrhoids, fistulas, and gout, but something about the site just feels off to me.
There isn't a single mention of what ingredients they actually use to treat these conditions, there's no contact person listed, no info on which company is behind it, nothing like that.
All you get is a cell phone number that doesn't even show up in any major carrier's directory.
Has anyone here actually tried this stuff or dealt with them before?
