That excruciating pain will be gone in mere minutes with the lidocaine. Put it on all day if you need to. Check at your local Jewel/Osco or drug store. Do not get solar caine that is different. This Aloe is made by Equaline but I am sure there are others. |

After you tried the cream and Ice pack if nothing works try pushing them up with Kegal exercises or manually with a index finger wearing surgical gloves. It is in your body so be careful otherwise you could become septic. In stage 1 Hemorrhoids are not visible from the outside. Mild pain and itching in the anus. The anus fails to close properly, liquid comes out slightly. One applicator is sufficient for this state In stage 2 The inflamed hemorrhoids can bulge outwards while having a bowel movement. Hemorrhoids can also retract back into the anus. Intense itching and burning. In stage 3 The Hemorrhoids cannot retract by themselves at this stage. In stage 4 The circulation is disrupted and the veins are completely blocked causing more inflammation. Stay aware that you can develop thrombosis or abscess, gangrene, blood poisoning can occur due to sepsis. If a person gets to this stage it has become life threatening and needs to seek immediately medical attention! Items needed 1.Petroleum jelly / Vaseline 100g 2.Surgical gloves non - powdered 3.Gym Ball 4.Patience Duration 20 mins Slow and gently 1. Lie vertically on a gym ball and then push the Hemorrhoid, holding your rectal muscles in. So gravity helps retract the muscles. as if you need to go to the toilet. Otherwise try Anuice - FDA Approved Medical Device for Hemorrhoid Treatment My G.p and consultant are very negative spiteful humans that has made me suffer for several years.I tend to be a DIY Medic now. I have had stage 4 Hemorrhoids in January. Now I am in stage 3. My consultant told me to push my hemorrhoids up myself.I was diagnosed with chronic IBS after 12 twelve years of abdominal pain after several surgeries. Eventually I had the Hemorrhoids under two years of care under my current consultant not my G.P He shall soon be a burger flipper in McDonald's. |

You really need to go get it checked out by the doctor because it could become so inflamed that it can block your bowel movements causing a shit storm inside (pun intended). I know it's embarrassing but hell it's better than dying. Not all Hemorrhoids require surgery, he could give you a steroid to help shrink it but only take this for 14 days as it could thin the skin. |

I can't even sit down straight and I'm walking like I got a dick up my ass. It's also really painful, it's becoming frustrating to have this. I was constipated, I haven't been getting my fiber but that is going to change ASAP. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 847425 I need some remedy or tips on how to cure this thing. 2400 mg ibprofin. Daily. 1 asprin each morning. I gallon of water a day. Prep h. And hydrocortisone all day |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18776011 United States 07/10/2012 10:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are some good reply's here so the only thing I can add is, You had better start eating correctly instead of processed bullshit. You have a deficiency. Take a good multi-mineral supplement and immediately start taking a few thousand mg. of vitamin C (4000 or 5000) or more, it won't hurt you a bit. It strengthens your veins and arteries whether you believe me or not. Do not strain excessively when you take a shit above all. START EATING RIGHT!!! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15514978 United States 07/10/2012 11:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Witch Hazel works much better than Preparation H, it's an astringent and will shrink the inflammation right away, just soak a wad of toilet paper and leave it in your crack to soak for about five minutes and every time you make a bowel movement, get some stool softeners as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27921992 United States 01/14/2013 02:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Drink plenty of water. Preh H suppositories, wipes, cream (with pain reliever). Something on Amazon call Anuice. It's something you keep in the freezer that's a little hemorrhoid cold pack. You should also get one of those small soft freezer packs to tuck up against the outside just for externals. Warm baths plus removable shower heads directed on the area. Diarrhea? Kaopectate. Constipation? Water. One shot of Metamucile a day. There are also some prescription strength creams and supps. You need an arsenal. Sometimes one thing works and sometimes something else works. Some days it seems like nothing works. When you're at that point, head for the bath for sure. Con't strain, don't leave 'em out, drink lots of water, the object is to get them to go back in as soon as possible. A cotton ball soaked with Witch Hazel. |

vase cerator User ID: 31518002 01/14/2013 02:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Prep H will help it will take a while for the swelling to ease, though. It will help kill the pain. Ice may help (good mental image of that, eh?) Look up Sitz bath. Cleanliness without too much scrubbing is good. I know this sounds gross but carefully pushing it back up in past the sphincter can help...but if this is a more than one time occurrence it is time to go to the doctor for removal. Why put yourself through it, it's funny as hell, but terribly painful! Quoting: czygyny . If someone offers to do this for you, FFS make sure he doesn't have both hands on your shoulders.;) |

anon nimous User ID: 13318470 Australia 06/05/2013 06:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had hard stools for a few days as I hab been camping out and not eating properly for a few days. My poop became hard as,and after two days of this my next poop felt like I was having a baby and the pain was terrible etc. On the third day I went to clean up after the movement when I was gingerley cleaning up I noticed a bigger lump and after I was last seen running down the street screaming hysterically with my pants still around my ankles and a police siren behind me,my doctor was shocked to see half of my liver was protruding from my bum and after surgery I now have no worries 'going' although I still wake u screaming some nights dreaming of horror I had endured. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1516308 Netherlands 06/05/2013 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Go to the doctor, he will cut them out. Sounds fucked up, feels fucked up but in the end it only takes like 20 seconds and the pain is gone instantly. Had some grapes of wrath last year, never knew it was THAT painful. After a week I couldn't take it anymore and went to my GP, she told me I had thrombosed hemorrhoids, it means a bloodcloth stops the swelling from reducing. She told me they had to be cut open and drained. She told me also that anaesthetics would be just as painful as the procedure themselves, imagining having a needle stuck in my asshole I believed her so I took it without anaesthetic. It feels like you would imagine it feels but it really didn't took longer than 30 seconds and after that I was cured, no more hemorrhoids since that day, instant relief. |

I used a combination of: Olive oil Garlic oil Buy a baby syringe at the drug store (parents use them to draw snot out of the little buggers noses). Fill it with mixture and use it like you would Prep. H. You might smell like an Italian salad, but it's natural and it works. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 06/05/2013 08:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Push it back in! Quoting: domesticangel If it comes out, push it back in again. If it's causing ALOT of pain when trying to have a BM, then use enemas for a few days. Suppositories work pretty good too. The hemorrhoidal suppositories will also help with the swelling and pain. If you're constipated, then you already know to eat more fibrous foods, etc. Or take a stool softener of some sort, go with an herbal prep like Swiss Kris or something every night or every other night. Get a good probiotic from the health store and start taking it every night. And thank God it's just a hemorrhoid! If you think that hurts, you should try having an anal fissure! Yes there ARE worse things than a hemorrhoid. Yup. Get some probiotics. And take about 500 mg of magnesium to make bowel movements easier until you heal up. It will make the stool softer and most people aren't getting enough magnesium anyway so this won't hurt you. If you get the runs then back off on the amount of magnesium you are taking. And don't take it every day. Just on an as needed basis. |
