What if someone has a external hemorrhoid but unfortunately is also required to have a colonoscopy for their 5 year check up due to a direct parent having colon cancer. Should that person try to put off the colonoscopy due to the prep or do you have any recommendations on advice that could help keep the anal area calmed down during the prep or any specific prep more then the other?

[@pickinp10]

Thank you for this video. Started feeling the burning/tingling Sunday afternoon, hard a dime sized hard lump by that evening, and an even larger lump Monday morning. Went to the ER that afternoon, wasted 4 hours for the PA to tell me after discussing with some other DR, they were not 100% sure it there was really a blood clot, so here is a prescription for some cream (turned out to be OTC CVS hemorrhoid cream) maybe you should go see a general surgeon about that. By some miracle my regular Dr''s office was able to get me into a general surgeon's that afternoon and was able to extract a good sized clot. I appreciate that you will provide your patients with the option of something stronger than Tylenol or Ibuprofen, because they do not even take the edge off the pain of a quarter sized thrombosed hemorrhoid.

[@Julie-jb3tq]

I've had about 4-5 lanced now.. currently hoping the one I have now doesn't full blown turn into another one. (Literally googling quick fixes, every single time this happens) . The doctors don't make me wait long at all at the ER though, they freeze it with a needle, lance it and the relief is almost immediate. It usually puts me out if commission for 1 full day. After that it only gets scary if you have to have a BM lol sitz baths to keep it clean a few times a day usually and especially after using the bathroom. It's funny because the first time this ever happened I was super embarrassed but the pain was unbearable for me.. now as soon as I see it going purple n the pain is steady I just go in right away. I'm like " yup, next one" but they never do take care of the extra skin.. Thankful I just discovered your page!! I've sat here for about 45 minutes watching video after video.

[@Aidenitsy]

Thank you Dr Chung for being so helpful with managing our hemmorhoids! I learned a lot from you and I couldn’t be more thankful that I came across your channel when I was in crazy pain due to my hemmorhoids. It really gave me solace. Long story short, i had grade 3 hemmorhoids which got banded but in a sick twist of events (due to failed anoscopy because my dumb anus just involuntarily clenches resulting in the anoscopy falling out of my anus multiple times), my hemmorhoids became grade 4 external thrombosed hemmorhoids, a prominent anal fissure and it was the worst pain imaginable! As a result, I have a fear of having doctors probe my insides, especially my nether regions. But I will probably have my hemmorhoids removed surgically, just not in the foreseeable future. Good news is, within a week, I was able to manage the symptoms and have it shrunk significantly from a golf-ball sized hard lump to a soft, pea-sized tissue (i’ll take it!). Since everyone’s asking here whether they could shrink it and how to help manage it, I thought I could be of help to dr Chung by dishing out some of information i gathered. Disclaimer: i am in no means a licensed doctor. Do take my word with a grain of salt and CONSULT WITH YOUR GP BEFORE TAKING THE STEPS i list down here. I did graduate with a pharmacist degree so I know to a degree of the meds I used and how toxic it could be. I am also not paid to promote the products that I used. What to do: 1. I think the most important thing is to not let your mood be swept by the inconvenience of your hemmorhoids. I read scientific journals that stated grade 4 hemmorhoids cannot shrink on their own but look at me! Just don’t sulk and try to forget about the pain by taking painkillers (i took about 1500 mg of mefenamic acid prescribed by my doctor EACH DAY to forget about the pain) 2. Use herbal medication. Now this is controversial but I’m pretty sure this is the miracle that reduced the size of my hemmorhoids. I drank a herbal medicine called phien tze huang (my Chinese family is obsessed with this miracle drug) and it did create some side effects like sore throat and dry skin but my hemmorhoids shrunk within a day! They’re quite pricey and i definitely would consult with my GP before taking any drug other than prescribed. I know that anyone with kidney problems SHOULD NOT take this as it could cause acute kidney failure. 3. I also kept taking flavonoid supplements because they’re known to reduce inflammation and swelling. Again, consult with your GP. 4. Try to get some exercise, walk around, go up the stairs, anything at all to help your blood flow. 5. Take a sitz bath 2 times a day 10 minutes each. I always add in some povidone-iodine solution into my bath. The sitz bath itself is extremely comforting too; like a warm hug so I’m addicted to it now. 6. Always take care of your diet! I always loved vegetables so every day, i could eat at least 25 grams of fiber from one meal alone. My hemmorhoids arised because of my genetic predisposition to chronic constipation and my love for spice. Now, I eat more than just fiber and take care in chewing more, eating papaya and banana (foods that makes poop mushy). I can’t stress this enough because even if you take step 1-5 religiously, it will not succeed in the long run if you dont take care of your diet. What not to do: 1. STOP STRAINING AND STRESSING MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. I thank dr Chung once again because i really needed an actual GOOD doctor to explain to me what’s happening to my body. Otherwise, I would’ve been depressed and hopeless. Hope this helps a few of you who’s been looking for answers. These methods worked for me and i don’t guarantee it will work for you therefore, consult with your doctor first because that’s what I did.

[@neilalexandermadrigal859]

Thank you for sharing your story and opinion. I also have external hemorrhoids. At first, it was big like size of a coin. But, I was able to reduce the size by drinking meds and taking care of my diet and drinking a lot of water. It was not painful now and it was not big as before. But, my problem is the fact that the hemorrhoids is still there. It is small but it does not hurts. It has been 2 weeks and it is still there. Any tips you know on how to make it completely disappear? Thank you!

[@Aidenitsy]

@@neilalexandermadrigal859 hi! I’m not sure how because I managed mine by reducing the size to a minimum. It’s also still there but it’s easily manageable now compared to the pain I felt a week ago. My surgeon recommends surgery but I have to go overseas less than a month from now for a long time so it’s not an option in the near future. I will definitely get the surgery in the future at a more convenient future. In the meantime, I’m managing it as best as possible. Hope it helps

[@neilalexandermadrigal859]

@@Aidenitsy thanks! That’s sad to hear the our only option is to get a surgery. That must be expensive and painful. What sucked even more is not being able to go back to normal life because of this.

[@Aidenitsy]

@@neilalexandermadrigal859 you can try doing whatever you’re doing now to manage it and see in the long run though. I had stage 2-3 hemmorhoids nearing stage 4 for about 4 years prior to my RBL and had a flare up once every couple of months but it didn’t bother me much because I chose not to think about it. I probably had hemmorhoids for WAY longer than 4 years but I really didn’t have the time to manage it well before my proper diagnosis. My eating and pooping habits were also much more improved once diagnosed because I actively took the steps to become healthier. In a way, I think hemmorhoids made me realize how unhealthy I’ve been and I’m grateful I have a much better lifestyle right now than before I was diagnosed. I would probably speak to my doctor first before you lose your hopes though. There might be a way out. I’ve heard laser cathode method works wonders and it’s not as expensive as going under the knife with minimal recovery time. Maybe this is a question doctor Chung could answer too! I wish you full recovery and hope you find options more synchronized with your needs and capabilities. Good luck!

I was looking for answers. Thanks. Turn 60 and experienced a thrombosed external grape size. Scared of the unknown. After a week of little pain but some discomfort, I followed all the regimen. I used fresh aloe and coconut oil. Also, ate pineapple (has special enzyme for small intestine healing) in the shower I went to check on it. And felt it falling apart softly and drained out. Some bleeding continues so I used my wife's pads to help. Just surprised but feel fine. How long this little bleeding will last is part of the healing process. I have learned to take better care of diet and routine for maintenance.

[@thomasreilly5382]

Dr. Chung- you are the best. I wish you were my physician. Your video describes my problem. Since I can't see a specialist for weeks, I may have to resort to a hospital emergency room for incision of large grade 4 hemorrhoids that are awful. What questions should I ask the physican to make sure that no long term damage is done by the procedure. Should he/she make very small incisions, or even limit the number and size of incisions even at the cost of not draining all the hemorrhoids. Would this "incomplete incision" approach make the surgery easier and still provide me with some relief? And would incision surgery have any negative effects on performing a future hemorrhoidectomy down the road. Thank you.

[@anhanh-sb9dv]

Thank you very much for your helpful information. I just want to ask about the correlation between hemorroid and anal fissure. Let take my situation as an example, I've had both. The first time I found my pile is 10 years ago, then 6 years later I was diagnosed with anal fissure, and now both of them are getting worse. The pile is getting bigger and more protruded. Therefor, I want to ask whether the hemorroid is the primary cause and it leads to anal narrowing, irritation of the sphincter muscle, making the muscle more contracted and finally anal fissure formation, or vice versa. In addition to this, when both of them happen at the same time, which one will be treated first or depend on that the more severe one will be corrected first then the lesser severe one? Best regards.

[@dfs7979]

This is great information! I thought the problem was clots in the veins not letting hemorrhoids drain but in reality, the blood and water is trapped under the skin where it isn’t supposed to be in the first place. What I don’t understand is why this keeps happening to me a few times per year. The first time it ever happened was because of damage I did from constipation. That was years ago and I take 500mg magnesium oxide to prevent that from happening. Any sort of mild pushing or lots of heavy lifting will usually result in another clot. Maybe I need that THD surgery? I had a banding procedure done which solved my internal hemorrhoid problem back when I did the original damage. I just need to find someone that can actually help me! Thanks.

[@oskarl7213]

Hello, I have a question: I had external hemorrhoids a few years ago, and each time my doctor cut them open. This happened three times consecutively over a few months time. At some point I started to worry that the cutting might weaken the skin in the area further and even end up causing more hemorrhoids or other side effects. This was a couple of years ago and the problem since resolved itself - until yesterday, when I got another cranberry-sized bump. Is it always best to get the incisive treatment or should I wait a week or two to see if it resolves itself? Can these cuts create further damage by weakening the skin, even causing further hemorrhoids to emerge? Thank you so much for taking all this time with these videos, they are really helpful and appreciated!

Believe I have one now on an existing grade IV, started about two weeks ago.. the pain is varying. I feel like exercising might help the clot go quicker due to better circulation, but the 'chaffing' of walking could aggravate it. Also should one avoid situations where the pain is increased somewhat? So sitting is difficult right now due to the pressure.. but it does mean blood is being pumped around to my feet and back.. whereas if I lay down to avoid the pain the blood isn't circulating and may slow the healing process??

My tip is to change your toileting habits. Have a poop last thing at night. Sleeping will allow the swollen area to calm and by the time you wake up, things will be much much better. Don’t poop and then jump into the car to go to work! The swelling will take time to go as you are sitting in the effected area. Cold water can also help.

[@nanlev613]

I’m a 57 year old female and I’ve just been diagnosed with my first hemorrhoid! I thought hemorrhoids were just a burning sensation in the area. I had no idea that I’m now going to have this little thing around the area. Mine doesn’t hurt it’s smaller than a pea and it doesn’t do anything….its just there. But I don’t want it to be there. The problem is I’m not letting someone cut in that area!!! I’ve already had fissures it’s not easy to heal that part of the body!!

Can I drain a huge hemorrhoid with a needle at home? I have had cauliflower ear and have treated it before. Could a hemorrhoid be treated the same way, by injecting a needle into the hemorrhoid and suctioning out the blood?

[@TheFtog]

How bad is the recovery?. I saw my gp and she said surgeons just want to cut. It's been 7 days and I'm dying.

[@emmaventer2797]

Dear Doc. I really need help, had the *normal* hemorrhoids for 36 years coming and going. BUT now i have extremely painful something going on there no burst no blood but blue color appears, sounds like tromboses hemorrhoids. Where are you situated??

[@radulaski]

Is it a good idea to run or swim in public pool with external thrombosed hemoroids?

[@soinas-ii]

Thank you for the videos. Where is your practice? Are you anywhere near SoCal? Never mind. I see your 714 are code. You shouldn't be far. I'm in the 626 area code in Alhambra.

[@jonifms]

I am just soooooo scared......I am afraid I have cancer......NO BLACK Stool....brown and pasty....then brown watery diarrhea..

[@laneadamslivingwell]

I love this info. I had this situation happen 2 1/2 weeks ago as I was on a road trip. Needless to say I wasn't sure what it was and now that I am home I actually saw a NP today. She said it is a hemmorhoid. So, Now I know it is an External Thromboses hemmorroid. Mine is not painful now but it is about the size of a blueberry. ish.... I would love for this to dissapate on its own... so reduce inflammation, sitz baths, and she did order a perscription Cortisone cream... what do you think? Also, What about Castor oil poultice? Do you have any experience or knowledge about that for breaking down clots etc? Thank you! I may be setting up an appointment one of these days. I am in San Diego so it's not impossible.Anyway, thank you for talking so calmly and openly about this "touchy" subject!

[@naturegirl4074]

How are you feeling? Castor oil poultice sounds like a good idea. Couldn’t hurt

[@laneadamslivingwell]

@@naturegirl4074 Yes, doing so great! All the natural things helped and the castor oil was definitely part of the process! I made a blend with castor oil and some essential oils to have on hand when I need them. It's all good now!

[@naturegirl4074]

@@laneadamslivingwell glad you’re doing well! I use castor oil on my hemms too sometimes. But not a poultice. How do you make that?

[@laneadamslivingwell]

@@naturegirl4074 I didn't make a real "Poultice" I put some essential oils (cypress, helichrysum, copaiba) in a bit of Castor oil and put on a gauze pad and applied topically.

[@naturegirl4074]

@@laneadamslivingwell thanks! Yes I heard cypress works well with hemmerhoids etc. glad you are doing better

[@naturegirl4074]

Couldn’t imagine a watermelon or a grape. Sorry to you that dealt with that. Mines like a pea and it’s horrible.

[@C_Tolea]

Nobody mentions this, but the reason for having hemorrhoids is the weakening of the veins' walls and there is nothing one can do about it. It is mostly an aging or degenerative condition that probably one third of the population develops. Yes, constipation and spicy food can trigger it but people need to look out for the root cause - which is nothing but a vein insufficiency.

Hi, 😮 can you link me to where you read this?

@@BusBuss-iy9fo well I still have them, and they flare up now and then. I take Diosmin and Hesperidin regularly which improves the blood vessels‘ strength.

[@HowDidIGet3700Subs]

Nothing can cure this? That’s quite a bold statement. Carnivore diet (proper human diet we ate for millennia) helps vein strength

[@C_Tolea]

@@HowDidIGet3700Subs it’s possible. I have experimented with carnivore and it does help somehow…

[@llspragulus]

So, I screwed up and thought I had an ingrown hair and I tried to pop it as it was painful. It was located about an inch from my anus and the size of a marble. CHEEZUS! I've never had something so painful as squeezing on it like a big zit. Well, it popped on it's own in the evening. You're right. It did indeed bleed badly. Is there something you suggest, besides cleanliness, to help keep it from infection?

[@jackdaniels6753]

years ago I had hemms, and I didn't do anything about it. I think it was around the time my left leg was very painful and it was hard to walk. Now I have ED and all kinds of issues. I don't know if the hemms caused all of this, but I'm not better.

[@DNAatWork]

Dr Chung. I don’t have hemorrhoids, I just like to go in denial cycles that maybe I have hemorrhoids but have a gut feeling it’s another fistula.

[@allaboutsprinting]

how do we contact you for a consult?

[@yasminbegum6774]

Hi dr Chung I went to see a colorectal surgeon yesterday she said I have got a tight anal muscle that is causing my excruciating pain I thought it was heamorriods . She said the there was no real cure and that I am to GTN cream which will help relax the muscle but I have used this once before 14 years ago when I had thrombosed heamorriods. This cream gave me bad headaches I mean really bad headaches Could you advise me any different because I am in such pain it is taking over my life . She also advised me to do pelvic exercises I am desperate now I need help. She is sending me to have a camera inserted into the rectum to have a closer look am not sure I want to go as I am in such pain I dnt think I will be able to tolerate it . What should I do ?

[@SomeGal]

Nifedipine!

[@emelieoreiro6069]

Dr Chang where can I found u, I have grade 4 already and I want to take it out, it's so discomfort

[@RosaliaShidiwe-yv9vb]

May I ask..do theý need to cut out my external hemorroid?

[@MoniqueNubiaSunshineFoundation]

I’m not having any pain with my hemorrhoids at all, even when they are flaring and swelled up. I’m getting lots of bleeding and it’s scary. But the bleeding only starts when I wipe myself. But I have no pain whatsoever just discomfort.

[@jenniferhampton5171]

Is it ok to leave it if it is dark purple and with bright red too? It scary looking.

[@richardxu7453]

Can I take blood thinner to treat the blood clot in that bump?

[@robrockstv781]

i have been doing a shot glass of extra virgin olive oil with lemon juice every day which helps with inflammation good for digestion helps with going to the toilet.

[@stevefarris9433]

A shot glass full of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar every night has helped make my stools soft and easy

[@chrismason5179]

I just two days ago had hemorroidectomy surgery at a Kaiser Permanente hospital in California, and was not visited by the surgeon in post-op, nor has he made any phone or other contact with me so I could not ask him any questions about my procedure, and, so far, have no information about what he found or did during the surgery, and all that I can assume transpired is that some offending hemorrhoids Were removed. I was prescribed , and am taking, various pills, including oxycontin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and an antibiotic, and was given a toilet bowl resting plastic sitz bath to use (without any instructions on how to properly use it), but was not offered any stool softeners, which seemed odd to me, as I am quite concerned about causing further hemorrhoid damage by passing a hard stool, which is how the original hemorrhoids were created 50 years ago. Is this treatment now normal hospital protocol for this type of procedure? I have watched a bunch of your applicable videos and am left feeling that the aftercare from this organization has been rather deficient so far, and, luckily I have watched many of your applicable videos, but, given the above, I am wondering what particular questions I should now be asking my Surgeon about my condition at this point, if I can reach him. Please advise. Regards, Chris.

[@yourfriendlyproctologist]

Pretty much 100% of patients having an anal surgery are ill prepared! The reasons are too numerous to list!

[@anthrop7998]

Yikes. Kaiser generally refers people to "general surgery" for a hemorrhoid. What you should do is request to see a proctologist specifically. Claim you have a lot of butt pain or blood or whatever to see a very specific specialist. Not all of them are created equal. I had a moron at Kaiser (Downey) I wouldnt trust her to even do a blood test. I won't say what happened but during an exam I think she made my fissure worse. I went out of network to a real doctor who told me I had a fissure and several roids. I went back to Kaiser to see another doctor and it was much better. But you have to be really proactive with butt issues at Kaiser.

[@stevefarris9433]

Follow up after surgery of any kind seems to have been an old fashioned approach. Now days it is more like I did the surgery why are you still bothering me. Well doc it still hurts or it hurts worse what should I do? Docs answer, I prescribed pain medication if it does not get better call me next month for an appointment. Medicine is getting more like politics in todays world. All fked up. If you are expecting the big hospital doctors to really care about you, you are in for a bad surprise. Color me not happy with lousy bedside manners or simply curtesy.

[@mdtaslimurrahman2552]

Hey Dr, I want to join army(My country's). But I've external thrombosed hammorhoids. No pain nothing just there's a blood clot. What to do now?
