[@TalkingWithDocs]

Yeah we get pretty excited. Sorry!

[@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

[@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)

"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.

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. 👍

I had a hemorrhoidectomy in March 2022 but I was very fortunate to be referred to a surgeon who was running a pilot pain mitigation pilot so the first week after the operation was almost pain free. Basically I carried a over the shoulder bag around for the week that contained a small pump that delivered a local anesthetic to the relevant nerve cluster via 2 needles embedded in the side of my butt. I was so grateful. After the week it was removed but while it was then uncomfortable for a couple of weeks it was nowhere near the nightmare I had been told to expect by a couple of friends who had had the operation previously.

*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.*

About witch hazel: I originally was going to blurt out how I often use witch hazel as an astringent, but blanked when I realize I didn't know why that is, or what it comes from. A trip to Google》Wikipedia showed me that witch-hazel, or winterblooms, are plants with antiseptic and astringent properties. My use of it was passed down to me from my family, so I never questioned it because it always worked for what we needed it for. Now, it'd behoove me to know why.

My grandfather put up with piles for 25 years and when he ended up in hospital to get his water works fixed they caught up with him and fixed him up.

I agree with you guys. I started psyllium husk tablets and started focusing on fiber. Used Prep H to manage it. And as the fiber kicked in, I spent less time on the seat and less straining. I feel things are getting better over time. I also started drinking prune juice but not too much as I started getting acid reflex. So a half a glass at dinner every day at the most. When having bad days, taking sitz bath in warm water and massaging area.

I had one thrombosis several days after having a colonoscopy, extremely painful. As i was waking up from my colonoscopy the doctor was talking to my wife about seeing a specialist from what he saw before the thrombosis. My wife called and made an appointment immediately which was 4 weeks out. When the thrombosis happened i called the specialist and they worked me in withen 2 days, i was in extreme pain for those 2 days to say the least. Approximately 1 hour after getting to specialist i was in surgery and let me tell you what a relief it was. I didn't think recovery was bad. Yes, i about yanked the door off the hinges on the first poop, but it got better from there. I did have a great surgeon and followed his instructions post surgery. I'm glad i had the surgery and wouldn't hesitate doing it again. The pain from the roid was far worse.

[@miriammcfarlane6972]

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.

[@randomspirit]

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. I'm just not a good veggie eater and most fruits make my teeth hurt for some reason. (But ice cream doesn't. I know, it's weird...lol)

My doctor also told me to make sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. That helps to ensure you're not getting too dehydrated which can lead to harder/more dense poo, which means potentially more straining and makes the hemorrhoids worse.

[@TheBooban]

Should be drinking that anyways. But its soft poo, not hard poo that causes roids.

[@benpennington7532]

As a sufferer in the past I have found that the greatest benefit has been from staying hydrated (drinking enough water throughout the day). I do try to have a healthy diet with adequate fibre but or me this has a much greater and more predictable (when I don’t have enough water) effect than the amount of fibre I have.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Agree! Lots of water

[@Dave-pd1gd]

I was struggling with hemorrhoids for years, praying for a solution - and I found it. I started raising my feet 7 inches off the ground (see 'squatty potty') and ensuring I was hydrated and my 'roids are now gone. All it took was staying hydrated and raising my feet when I poo. Traditional toilets are killing us! Raise those feet or squat before a hole in the ground like many other cultures do.

Bidet. Get one, and you'll be happy. You can buy one that retrofits on any toilet for under $40. And don't worry about getting the more expensive hot water ones. The cold water bidets are fine. I think toilet paper is the worst for hemorrhoids and can actually cause external ones.

[@lamainlewis2473]

Hey doc's i ready application this video and!!! Very simple information 👌 👍

[@joewilliams6427]

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!

[@TeaAddict]

Pregnancy and childbirth has led to a lot of trouble with hems for me. I have them, multiple. They flare up sometimes, bleed only occasionally, can be uncomfortable but I wouldnt say they are debilitating in pain levels unless Im constipated and cant poop. Tried treating with external creams for weeks with absolutely no change, keep my fibre intake up and drink LOADS of water to keep things soft and and moving. Witch hazel is an absolute godsend if and when they do flare up, but honestly canr wait to get them surgically removed one day even if it is a long and painful recovery 😳

[@mackthnife3]

I just want to add what I found to be helpful in reducing bleeding hemroid pain. I bought a Bidet Toilet Seat that cleans with a stream of cold tank water. I’d say my hemeroids improved 99 percent. Prior to this I thought I was headed for surgery. Now I can rarely tell. I also stay away from toilet paper and just blot with a soft towel after use. Amazing.

Bidet all the way. I use less Toilet Paper, better for you wallet, easier on the plumbing and sewer system, less irritation, it’s a win win.

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 cured my IBS and hemorrhoids by going to a low-carb diet and doing a coffee enema about twice per year. I've had completely normal gut health, bowel movements, and no hemorrhoids ever since.

[@ktryushi4744]

Can hemorrhoids cause gut problems? Such as uncomfortable feeling in your stomach, gas problems? Wondering…

[@andersonalternative6223]

@@ktryushi4744Other way around. Gut problems cause hemorrhoids because constipation causes excess pushing and stretching while diarrhea causes tissue damage from acid.

People who are writing that it takes WEEKS to recover from a hemorrhoidectomy are crazy. Had it done. Fine in 10 days. Eat oatmeal every morning. No problem. Apple a day is great, too. Don't wait until you're 70 to get em fixed; do it when you're young & healthy. You recover quickly when you're young, not so when you're over 70.

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’ve had them since my early-mid 20s and this past decade has been painful and embarrassing. When they first started, I bled at work without noticing and thankfully I rushed to the restroom before anyone noticed. After having a flare up, I now lay facing down for 20-30mins or longer. 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. I also try taking a warm shower to soothe the pain. Oh, and gas x helps in case there is lots of gas due to certain foods which aggravate hems. Lack of proper sleep is one of the worst things too.

[@graveseeker]

Difficult bowel movements, constipation, is a thing and I would presume that lengthy straining can be causal. Most people are low in Magnesium. I'm surprised that you didn't comment on that?
