Hi,
I recently experienced swelling around my anus after passing bowels, it only appears during bowel movement or sometimes while standing up. This lump (that I named it) is not painful and after a while itself goes inside the anus. I told my doctor about it and she said that its internal hemorrhoid, she said that I just need to be careful in eating,avoid spicy things and let it not get inflamed, it will go away by itself! Now how am I suppose to do that? She gave me laxatives and nothing else. I really don’t know if anyone ever encountered such a thing, but I really am worried about it, it doesnt hurt but still its presence like having a swelling makes me feel uneasy and I want it to go away. I want to know is there anything that can help me? Will it go away? It did go away once but then came back…what should I do? And yeah all the doctors I have talked about with only say to avoid eating spicy food and blah blah blah but they dont tell me the solution.

Here is the thing. About 2 months ago I went for a Rectal Ultrasound Exam. This is not the DRE(digital rectal exam) that is done by the use of an index finger with a lubricant. Some doctors refer to it as TRUS(trans-rectal ultrasound). The exam is done with an impelement called "Rectoscope" here is the picture of it: http://www.kolonrektum.com/images/rectoscope.jpg

I was sent there by a urologist, who thought a 22 year old could actually have something wrong with his prostate. Weirdly enough, I agreed since I didn’t know what I signed up for. The examiner assured me that no harm will be done. The exam took about 10-15 seconds, a bit painful but adjustable afterwards. The only problem was that the examiner never bothered to ask me about the presence of hemorrhoids. I didn’t tell him because back then I didn’t know it would be a problem . Anyway, when the exam was over, he to told me to clean up and go home. There weren’t any suggestions on how to make it through the day. The exam results turned out to be perfect NO prostate cancer NO swelling. But up until today, I have now inflamed hemorrhoids and my stools are always hard to pass. My proctologist is almost certain that the rectoscope has ruptured my anal area. And today when passing a stool my internal hemorrhoids popped out. It’s grey and not that hard, but it won’t go back in and it hurts. This is all thanks to that exam. The question is for those who took the same test and were the consequences such as mine???!!! Thank you.

Pruritis ani, itchy butt often caused by hemorrhoids probably affects half the world’s population to some extent. Has anybody with this condition found a sure fire cure that gets rid of it? It’s excruciating because it is no more thretening to your health than hay fever but is excruciating in its relentless presence 24 hours a day.

1) A condition that limits the ability of the small intestine to absorb would result in a decreased absorption of _________________?

2) A condition that limits the ability of the large intestine to absorb would result in a decreased absorption of _________________?

3) If your stomach could no longer produce acid, how do you think that would affect digestion?

4) A person’s blood has high cholecystokinin levels. What does this tell you about the presence or absence of chyme in the small intestine?

5) Some pathogenic bacteria in food can survive the stomach and small intestine, reaching the large intestine. There, they attack the lining of the colon. This irritates the colon, and goblet cells in the colon are stimulated to produce more mucus. This extra mucus can inhibit water absorption through the colon. What common digestive abnormality does this cause?

It’s just small however, it’s presence is quite annoying. i am applying faktu ointment and taking varemoid forte as prescribed by my doctor. but it seems to have no effect. i also do hot sitz and alternately ice. pls help
