I have a borderline internal/external hemorrhoid, and it is driving me crazy.

It’s because I’m 30wks pregnant, and haven’t been able to be very active throughout my pregnancy. My diet is pretty good (not constipated or diarrhoea, regular) and I am getting more exercise – but it isn’t helping my immediate situation.

It seems to be too large to expect to go away on its own, or to reshape back to normal, but it keeps getting irritated and expanding, every time I think it is improving.

I don’t want to take it to the doc, but I am worrying that nipping it off with a rubber band might be the only option for one as big and stubborn as this.

I’ve had it 2 weeks and it is driving me spare.

Help what do I do!

I was told I needed to have it taken care of and after the first one I had no more bleeding but the dr. wanted to get all four. Since the second one was ligated I ended up with worse and more bleeding then I had even before the first one was taken care of. I’ve been eating fiber, using liquid glycerine suppositories and I’m still having trouble and it’s been six weeks since. I’m due to go back on Monday to see why I’m still bleeding but I’m hesitent to have the other two ligated cause we are going away for the summer and I have to wait four weeks between ligations and I don’t want to fix something that isn’t broken or bleeding at the present time. I’m also bleeding rectally when I’m not even going to the bathroom and I shouldn’t be using pads since my hysterectomy. Any advice?
My hysterectomy was over seven years ago and I’m so glad I had it done. For the first time all my life I’m not dealing with terrible longterm bleeding that I couldn’t be away from a bathroom more than 20 minutes at a time. I’ve had hemorrhoids since I was a teen and they just got worse over the years from me being on powerful pain killers. The only thing I deal with now is chronic pain from a ruptured disc and the bleeding hemorrhoids.

Hi hi,

Kind of a pressing matter, basically I got a hemorrhoid earlier this morning (I do a lot of heavy lifting at work, I’m guessing this is the cause) and at a rather terrible time, my girlfriend’s prom is this weekend and I’m going >.<

I’ve had this before and letting it rest for a week or so made it pass, but I’ll be going to class at night for the next 3 nights and then on a bus for a whole day straight to make my way to my girlfriend’s college.

My question is: is there a quick remedy for hemorrhoids? If not, maybe something that will permit me to be a bit more active (Walking, sitting in different areas like cars and such), like, the equivalent of a band-aid I guess?

Thanks in advance!

Creams or ointment wont make the skin tag retract on its own. I happen to live in a backward town where the government doctors refuse to perform surgery on me as it is not health-threatening. And I’m not a candidate for rubber band ligation. If I perform the surgery myself under anesthetic, will I die of infection or worse, cut a nerve or artery?

A few year back I had two hemorrhoids removed using what they called the rubber band method. I now have two pieces of skin that hang from my anus. Does anyone know if this can be removed and if so what type of doctor should I consult? I just don’t want to go to anyone because I find this embarrassing. Thanks for your help!
