How To Get Rid Of Hemorrhoids

[@vaynelau7156]

Used to have really bad haemorrhoids, when i was young i didn't like to eat any vegetables and sitting in the toilet for very long time, now i eat alot of vegetables and fruit never have any problems with it again. This is very accurate

[@musicaldiscovery1434]

As a Medical Practitioner myself, here's a question I've asked numerous Gastroenterologist friends and colleagues that none have been able to adequately answer: We are told that we must wash our hands for at least twenty seconds after a bowel movement and wiping our bottoms in order to ensure that we do not transmit E Coli and other harmful microbes contained in the feces back into our system through the oral cavity. This, we know, can potentially make us very ill. Yet, every time that we have a bowel movement with hemorrhoids which are bleeding, we put the exiting fecal matter in direct contact with broken blood vessels and, thus, a direct entry point into the systemic bloodstream for these microbes. So why aren't people with bleeding hemorrhoids in a constant state of sepsis?

[@michelenichele294]

Fascinating question. As an 80 year old internal hemorrhoid sufferer, I’ve seriously wondered myself? 🤔🧐🤓🤷🏼‍♀️

[@musicaldiscovery1434]

@@michelenichele294 Here's more to ponder, on a different topic: If high levels of LDL in the bloodstream is one of the main drivers of the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on arterial walls, please explain the following: 1) Since all cells in the body are constantly striving for homeostasis, and are very careful with what they let in and out of the cell membrane based on the ionic balances and immediate needs of the cell at any given moment, why would the endothelial cells of the arteries pull excess cholesterol from the LDL molecule in the bloodstream and deposit it behind it to accumulate and eventually create a plaque? 2) Since there are very tight junctions between these endothelial cells, the cholesterol cannot make its way behind the endothelium around the sides of the cells 3) What biologic mechanism is causing the cholesterol to leave the LDL transport molecule? There has to be a receptor site waiting to accept it. Being a lipid, it is not just floating freely in the water based fluid of the blood 4) The endothelial cells of the circulatory system are the same throughout. So why do these deposits and plaques only occur in certain areas of the systemic arterial system and NOT throughout? So, for instance, very rarely in the pulmonary arterial system, unless there is pulmonary hypertension, and NEVER in the venous system, UNLESS the vein is pulled and relocated in a high pressure area like what is done in a coronary artery bypass graft 5) A significant proportion of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts are performed on patients that have normal to low LDL levels or have been on statins for years

[@TalkingWithDocs]

So likely because the bacterial load is low enough to cause bacteremia rather than septicemia. Our bodies are able to deal with a certain volume of contamination. Also being a venous rather than arterial source may contribute. Great question though

fiber and plenty of water. I went from talking to a doctor about surgery, to not having an issue in 2 months by taking plenty of fiber AND WATER.

[@heavenlymilano]

I took my haemorrhoids under control by two things: 1) ONIONS and 2)WARM WATER WASH DURİNG DEFECATION. I eat a medium/big size cooked onion every day. It is part of my breakfast. I sauté onions and crack two eggs on that. This is my breakfast. I never get constipated anymore. I wash down there with warm water while I'm on the toilet. I use water as hot as I can bear. My haemorrhoids are gone 100%

I am in my seventies, and I had haemorrhoid surgeries some 30 years ago. Recently, it has started to bother me again. It is not the pain but the unrelenting itch that I am suffering from. The itch gets intense as the night progresses. I get relief with the Cera V cream, but l want a better cure and not a temporary fix. I also, suffer from some swelling with the itch. Thank U.

[@RETR0NIZE]

Hey guys I don’t know if this will help anyone but hopefully it will. Here is what helped me cure my Grade 2 hemmorhoid. All I did was eat soup, drink all of the soups juice (very important for nutrients), and after each meal I would eat one packet of oatmeal. I would also eat 1-2 bananas every day, don’t eat too many bananas or your stool will be a lot more soft than you need it to be and it may upset your stomach. I also did not sit AT ALL even when eating. The most important thing for me was to not sit down no matter what unless necessary like driving of course. I highly recommend Campbells chicken noodle soup, Vegetable beef soup, and Beef with country vegetables. They are all made by Campbell. I also would eat one bowl of cereal in the morning with almond milk. NO DAIRY until you feel better. Lastly I drank lots and lots of water and tried to spend the least amount of time possible on the toilet when passing a stool. Laying down is okay, walking and just doing general exercise is very helpful, just don’t sit down no matter what until its fully healed. I really hope this information will help some people, good luck and always remember to stay positive, staying positive is crucial and extremely important to getting better so never give up and just be positive because it will help your body. RECAP: - Soups, & Oatmeal - Cereal & Bananas - High Fiber Intake - High Water Intake - NO SITTING - Exercise (Don’t overdo it)

I suffered with an external hemorrhoid for sevearal years. It would push out during a bowel movement. I would wet my finger and push it back up past the sphincter muscle and that would take the pain away. I finally took a picture of it and show my gastroenterologist. He scheduled surgery 2 weeks later. That took care of my pain in the ass. I don't remember having that much pain afterwards. I was just happy to have it gone. You don't have to live with it!

My husband and his entire family would talk about their hems every time they got together, often. He is 63 now. So, bothered by hems for his adult life until 2018. We changed our diet to a low carb, higher healthy fat, no wheat, normal protein lifestyle. It made all the difference. He hasn’t had hems or flare ups for 5 years. His mother died of colon cancer. It was difficult giving up bread and pasta for an Italian, but we found out he has a gluten sensitivity and 2 celiac genes. Our daughter also has a gluten sensitivity. When you find out what hurts you, it’s not so hard to give it up.

[@glasser2819]

you make a good point about easily improving our diet when necessary. Note the whole gluten ordeal is caused by immune response to GMO's! I say that so you don't spend so much time eliminating other famous GMO food: tomato, strawberries, peanuts, wheat obviously, corn, soy beans... Usually the allergens are found as PROTEINS. (I've had an anaphylactic shock with ER Adrenaline shot and EpiPen shots prior so I avoid known triggers). Hopefully many folks find this truly beneficial. 👍

"Witch Hazel" Don't know if this was answered already. "Hamamelis" is a deciduous shrub grown in New England where Native Americans cut the twigs and applied the sap to various injuries. In 1846 Dr. Charles Hawes started distilling the twigs which he sold as "Hawes Extract" in Essex Connecticut. In 1866 Thomas Dickinson refined the process even more and began selling Witch Hazel from several locations throughout the country. Today it's sold across the world by many companies.

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

My experience with chronic hemorrhoids is the following. Make sure your diet has as low sugar as possible and your poop comes out without resistance in a gradual (automatic) movement (then you know the consistency is right). Diarrhea is the second worst, after constipation. Solution to Diarrhea: fiber, fat and meat Solution to constipation: fat, water, no coffee or alcohol, add leafy greens, movement Never sit on the toilet for longer than 1 minute! (If you have to go, it's over in seconds) Get yourself a Bidet and avoid using paper, except to dry. Squatting to poop is the best poop you will ever have (Indian style), go camping often hehe. Warm sitting baths at the first sign of discomfort and purchase a big bottle of witch hazel and glycol gel, mix 1:4(gel) Apply directly. Light exercises that strengthen legs, hips, gluts and back are good for strengthening. Best time for #2 is after exercising, because our digestive system as well as bowel movement works best after being mobile for a while. My chronic hemorrhoids show up twice a year, mostly after lifting heavy, but have never been as bad as before those points I mentioned. The biggest one was the size of a pigeon egg, it nearly killed me in pain. PreparationH cooling gel is the one and only over the counter product that works immediately and acts super fast in shrinking the little bastards.

I'm recovering and promised myself that i won't be eating white flour all my life, no junk food, only home based high fibre diet, stop lifting heavy weights, train your muscles, do cardio and exercise, don't spend too much in washroom. and stop having vegetable juices instead eat them raw, have yogurt always in ur diet. and have warm water always 2 glass when u wake up. sit in a squat position whenever u have a bowl movement, don't put too much pressure on ur anus area as it forces veins to swell up. If u feel warmth on down in ur spine then go to toilet otherwise don't. Never force yourself to poop, if u feel like u r constipated, have laxatives, but never ever put pressure on ur anal area it will make case much worse.

*I've had external hemorrhoids for as long as I can remember. They come out every bowel movement. I remember the day I learned that it wasn't normal which was when I was 7 or 8 and told my dad that the thing that comes out when you poop isn't going back in. It didn't become a real problem until I reached my early teens and got interested in weight lifting. One day it inflamed, I was in pain for two weeks. Every since then, I've had a flair up almost every year that immobilize me for a week, it usually happens during the winter. Of course I've been to the doctor plenty of times, unfortunately it's too bad to do anything else but get surgery, the best they can do is give me medicine. So I've given up on seeing doctors about it, besides having it so long I've noticed some things that lessens the chances of inflamming it. Drinking lots of water (especially before sleep), eating fruits and vegetables (mostly fruits), exercising at least weekly, listening to your body, and being mindful about meat, alcohol, and processed food consumption. It's seems keeping the body more then well hydrated, doing things to improve blood flow and lighten the load off your digestive system really makes the difference. It's also a good practice to write down what you ate and write down how you feel throughout the day, especially if **_"listening to your body"_** sounds alien to you. You'll eventually develop a sensitivity to what goes into your body that will serve you.*

He claims I don't have a hemorrhoid. Said, Probably my pelvic floor has fallen???? It hurts, itches, bleeds. I used to push hard to get anything out. Figured it is a hemorrhoid. If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, type thing. If he has done this so many years, how can he guess? The acid someone in the comments mentioned.

I had hemorrhoids for years in my twenties due to IBS. Also had diverticulitis and generally poor gut health. I believe that this was due to the standard American diet, high carbs, and antibiotics.

I have tried everything besides surgery, seen specialists and just learned to live with the pain and discomfort, discharge, and blood. One Dr. recommended Metamucil daily for the pain during bowel movements as it helps absorb acid from your poop for less discomfort, that has helped, but the biggest improvement was recently purchasing a bidet, to my surprise using it regularly has been a godsend and I finally after many many years am no longer plagued with them.

Well done! Funny and educational. I'm nearly 60 and been vegetarian since I was 18. Because I have a tendency to a sluggish intestinal system, most mornings I have a home-made mix of fibres: psyllium (about a third soluble or gelling fibre) oat bran, wheat bran (and wheat germ for good measure): about a tablespoon of this mix on breakfast cereal each morning does make a difference. Stools are easier to pass. I make the mix once every few months, keeping the wheatgerm, especially, and bran in the freezer for logevity.

[@btingey]

I usually mind my own business… but similar to you I have a mixture too. I make it in a large jar each time. About 40% the jar is a natural chunky peanut butter. About 40% is whole wheat or oat fibre. Then about 10% natural honey and 10% flax seed oil. Try to get a big teaspoon twice a day… usually on a cracker. The fibre is great for your gut, the peanuts are great for your testerone and flax seed is great for your arteries and cholesterol.

I could never eat all that. LOL! But...knowing I need my fruits and veggies and fiber...I started putting all that healthy stuff in the dehydrator. When it's good and dry, I use a coffee grinder to turn it into powder. All the veggies in one powder, fruits in the other. Then I put it in capsules that I can take daily, plus use some of the veggie powders in soup broth, gravy, etc...and the fruit is good sprinkled over ice cream or mixed in a lemonade smoothy. Added bonus: I'm not throwing away produce anymore. I used to buy it with good intentions to eat it all, but it'd go bad before I could finish it.

It could be a bacterial infection. I had hemorrhoids really bad a few years ago. I was in my late 20s and my gastroenterologist suggested surgery after they didn't go away for 8 months. However, I had really bad food poisoning about 1 month before I got hemorrhoids. My stool also changed to be softer and smelled really bad. I suggested I might have an infection but my dr dismissed me saying he tested my stool already. However, my professor (Harvard researcher) for my microbiome class told me that most gut microbes cannot be cultured. I went to a different doctor and got a broad spectrum antibiotic. Hemorrhoids went away after a week and never came back. The gut microbiome is so diverse and it's difficult to tell which ones cause issues. However, if you are like me and have hemmroids after food poisoning and you notice smelly stools, consider a bacterial infection. This won't show up on testing either.

For me, laying on my back, sitting or standing after a flare up makes it SO MUCH WORSE. I also try to keep my legs warm since the blood flow feels off.

Best Recommendation For People with such conditions. 1. Make sure you chew your food thoroughly before swallowing. This helps your digestive system and softens your faeces during bowel movement. 2. Seccondly is take in alot of water. Every morning you must drink water to freshen your system up. Drink water after meals too. Just make sure you drink a lot of water during the day. Water helps softens food digestion and hence makes bowel movement painlessly cus the poop becomes soft and sometimes watery. When you practice the method, you'll never feel pain or discomfort ever again. And it'll all shrink in size over time. The above helped and i just wanted to share because being in such condition is very terrible. Thank You.
