Hemorroids really suck.....:(
| Thu, 06-09-2005 - 12:38pm |
Hey Board,
I have gotten a hemorroid for the first time. It's an external hemorroid, so most likely I will have to get it removed by a doctor. One problem is I have no health insurance, so I have been using OTC cream to keep the itching etc away until i can figure something out.. Does anybody know if rubbing alcohol can make the swelling go down like it does for some other things?

Hi and Welcome

Hey
Thanks for the advice. Mine doesn't bother me too much. I have been wiping with witch hazel which was recommended to me. I don't have a bath...just a shower....but I was as much as I can and I don't strain and relax when i have to go number 2. I am glad that I have just one. I can't push anything inside because it is too much on the outside. I am putting the cream on every day twice or more....and I stopped wearing my fave underwear...thongs....so I should be good.

Just please take care of them
I have had a problem for a while, and am having thme again...finally, for the first time, things are regular-I am driniking h2o, eating flax seeds etc, but even thought the bm's are everyday and softerm they still bother me...how to make them really decrease? I don't want to have Dr remove them-I will die of mortification!!
Thanks-this is such a drag!!!
Hi and Welcome
Thank you-mine are not that bad, in fact, i think it's just one, and after having constipation probs forever, that is how I got here. well, things are better in that department, but, sometimes, it still bugs me.
I have another condition called vulvodynia, which is aggrevated by them, my Dr is aware of them, and we have discussed it, but I just don't know if I can go through with ever having them removed. They/it is not out all the time,and if I keep things soft, it;'s oaky, i just feel burining sometimes, even if all had gone well.
anyways, I guess I will muddle through for now. ugh. what an area to have dicomfort. Thanks for your advice-it helps to know it;'s not a major deal, but not at all sexy!!
