So I’ve seen my doctor twice about this problem. He checked my anus and confirmed I have hemorrhoid. It’s been going on for months now. He told me to "Eat fruits and vegetables and exercise"…

so for the past month and a half, I’ve been eating massive amounts of fruits and vegetables…
Even cut back on fast food (no pizza or burgers)…. avoided eating greasy foods too…

drink lots of water (no soda, not a fan of it)…. My stool is soft but it still hurts when I have a bowl movement. it even hurts walking after i have a bowel movement…

I walk at least a half mile to a mile everyday on campus, back and forth to classes… which sucks cuz it hurts ….

Well today, I had a bowel movement and went running and all that pressure when I ran caused my hemorrhoid to bleed….

Sigh, I don’t know what to do now. I’m listening to what the doctor said but its not helping since this hemorrhoid is "preventing" me from doing good exercise… I’m really getting tired of it because its been going on for so long…. I need some helpful advice guys… Thanks

By the way, im 22 and male if that matters.

I have a gastroenterologist who recommended me to take Miralax & Suppositories everyday for the next 3-6 months. This will be too harsh on my body. I am a diabetic and I have severe high blood pressure. I have been advised to start on a body cleansing program because the constant fatigue is the main problem. OTC Regimen seems to work for a little while and then I start getting constipated again or I will have to discontinue because I get dehydrated from diarrhea. I have been advised by the gastroenterologist to be on a high fiber diet. I have been advised to eat only fruits and vegetables from the internal medicine physician. No breads, No Sugar, No Salt, No Caffeine. No Fried Foods. No Excuses. I have been advised to start on a vegetarian meal program that is designed for diabetics.

So, I am searching for a high fiber diabetic vegetarian meal program and complete body cleansing program for overall health. I am suppose to eat 6 small meals a day. I have digestive problems so it is hard for me to take multivitamins. I would eat lot of high fiber foods and would get constant bloating and gas discomfort. So, I would need to be on a cleansing program and drink plenty of water only with every meal to eliminate the symptoms.

So, I was told if I could afford it; they would recommend me to start on the DrNatura Colonix Program for the first three months along with the Digestaid and Flora Protect Probiotics for the first three months to start regulating the bowel movements and eliminate the toxins that causes fatigue. It would cost me 3.24 for the three month program but do you think that it would be worth a try?

I have asthma, severe high blood pressure, diabetes, acid reflux disease, and internal hemorrhoids & external hemorrhoids. I have been breaking out in so many rashes lately but they said that the body acid and diabetes may be the cause of this and a body cleansing program and vegetarian diet should eliminate this program within the first two weeks.

It is amazing what the body goes through. I have three children and I would not want them to lose their mother over something that can be avoided. A body cleansing regimen is important for any woman or man and that is why I had to have the colonoscopy. I am searching for a healthy lifestyle and I am not good at staying on a diet program with cleansing out the body first. The body cleansing program is suppose to be a jumpstart towards a healthy lifestyle. It is suppose to take the taste of junk foods away and that is what I need. A program to coach me the right way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and remain on this healthier lifestyle for the rest of my life.

the doctor prescibed constipation syrup, diosper and procotosedyl since he said that i had constipation, anal fissures, piles. The doctor said to see the outcome after one week. During the medication period of one week. I ate fruits and vegetables everyday, and passed motion, NO blood was in the stool. i didn’t consume fruits and vegetables on two days, and when i passed motion today, there was blood. i am very scare now.

I’m 16 years old and I have external hemorrhoids. I got them from constipation because I don’t eat very well. They don’t ever hurt and are pretty small but I don’t like having them, it looks gross. They aren’t very big, I bought the Preparation H ointment yesterday, does that work well? I didn’t really know what to buy because I don’t need anything for relief as they don’t cause me any discomfort, I want something to shrink them.

Will I need surgery for my hemorrhoids to go away forever? Can they go away on their own if I start eating more fruits and vegetables? If so, how long can it take for them to be gone?

I’m 21 years old. So I’ve had hemorrhoids for months now. I can’t seem to get rid of them. I eat 1-2 fruits per day, lettuce, some yogurts and drink only water… I use hemorrhoid pads for relieving the symptoms. I always knew I had hemorrhoids but didn’t go to the doctors because I thought it would disappear in less than a month. Since it’s still on going, I went to the doctors 3 days ago and he’s confirmed it by checking my anus. He told me "exercise, eat fruits and vegetables" and thats it. As much as I hate the idea of going into surgery, I feel like I need it.

The symptoms of hemorrhoids I have are pain during bowel movement and then itchy/burning feeling after bowel movement. Sometimes it really intensifies after when I walk to school or doing some form of walking. The itchy/burning feel cools down when I’m sitting though. I bleed "sometimes" when the stool is super dry.

What are you guys thoughts about this? Is this a serious condition?

Those of you who’s gotten hemorrhoid surgery before, how did it go and how fast was recovery?
