With advanced technology you would think there would be better ways to remove them ie laser surgery or banding like they do the internal ones. Has anyone heard of any new advances in the treatment of these literal "pains in the butt"?

I believe it is technically a thrombosed hemorrhoid. Little larger than a pea and kind of dark purplish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in an admittedly small survey, my friends state that their men spend much more time in the bathroom than they do.

is there a physical reason for this? in other words, is there a difference between men's and women's intestinal/colon anatomy which necessiates a longer period of time?

I've tried alot of tactics but none seem to heal my problem completely. I have been to a doctor before and she prescribed miralax which didn't do the trick at all. any suggestions???

Explored anal sex bout 1 wk ago. Have tried prep. H, prescription strength Anucort suppositories, analpram, neosporin, soaking in epsom salt, icy compresses for the swelling. Non of these treatments have been successful and I am getting exhausted with this. Need advice!
