david_gray63 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Ok, Im 21, and im 99% certain i have a haemorrhoid. and i shall call it Harry. I cant even begin to describe how uncomfortable this is, physically, and the mere knowledge that i have a freaking marble sized lump hanging out my ass. Ive had a small pea sized lump just inside my ring for as long as i can remember, so i never put any thought into what it could be. Its now occured to me that ive had a small one for a number of years. It was only the other night that i did a crap and realised it wasnt so small anymore, and was more out than in. it isnt the first time its poked out like that, but usually eases right back in 30min later and i forget about it. But its been "out" for 2 days now, and is very tender to the touch. Walking, sitting, lifting, breathing....all seem to disturb it somehow, and cause discomfort. Ive ordered some cream off the net (Germoloids), and hope to get it fixed up soon. I dont think i'll go to the docs just yet, i would rather see if the cream works first. Anyone wanna offer up some moral support? Mind if i stand while you give it?
HokeyReligions Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Sounds like you have a 4th degree hemorrhoid Some home treatments are: Venapro, Ziro Hemorrhoidal Treatment, Avatrol, Preparation H, and Heal Hemorrhoids. If they don't work -- see a doctor. It can probably be taken care of in his office. Sometimes a blood clot can develop so if it doesn't go away fast, really see a doctor. Did you do any research on WebMd on henorrhoids? There might me more info there. Good luck & get some Air Pillow Insoles for your shoes.
Author david_gray63 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 I hadnt seen WebMD before, so thanks for the tip. The diagrams show the hemorrhoid attached on the inside, and kinda stretching to poke out. Mine isnt elongated like that, its just attached to the edge of the ring *dies of embarrasment from descriping his own ring!*. Its not big, its just......an "outie"? Rather than a stretched "innie" I cant wait till this cream turns up. At the very least it'll soothe things a little. I'll be packing my ass with the stuff if it works.
herbalyyys Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Well I'm a nature girl-a sort of herbal remedies freak and thats how I make my Extra money. As a Mom of three kids I am very familiar with 'Roids,Go to the doc to check its not a rupture hernia that could be from a fissure hemmoroid.It IS worth the trip to the doc. For immediate relief in the meantime,use witch hazel (found at any walmart or pharmacy) It is astringent w/out being drying, and it is also a constrictor.And it just feels sooooo GOOOOD and cooling-no more itchy-burny feeling.Buy Witch Hazel and in the makeup section,buy the cosmetic cotton round puffs(not cotton balls),and soak it and put it against the 'roid.your butt cheeks will hold it in place--NOT inside your hole,just on what is popped out. There is even a Prep H that is a gel made with the witch hazel. I make Belly Balm and 'Roid Relief for my pregnant customers,and its in those balms I make.....it WILL give relief and even shrink it some.Whatever doesnt shrink-your Doc will tell ya if it needs to be snipped off.
Author david_gray63 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Posted January 27, 2005 I was fine about your response until the last 2 words "snipped off". But thanks for the advice I think im gonna book myself in to the docs tomorrow. Its gotten a little bigger and still hurts. Im just not looking forward to pulling my cheeks aprt and showing my balloon knot. I might as well get the doc to do a once over down there too while he's at it. Its not like it could be anymore embarrasing. Update - im booking myself in today. lets get this over and done with shall we.
Author david_gray63 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Posted January 27, 2005 I just had "Harry" checked out. Its not a hemorrhoid!!! Its a freaky kind of bruise. What caused it? no idea, the doc didnt say. Maybe he thought i was doing some kind of weird sexual practise and didnt want to say (as far as im concerned its an exit, not an entrance.) It will probably linger for around 8-10 days, and then subside. OR, it could pop. Leaving me with a crack of think black blood - and instant relief. He's perscribed me some stuff, but said the aointment ive ordered will do pretty much the same thing. The one he has perscribed is stronger, so i'll be picking it up tomorrow. Its kinda a relief to know its not a hemorrhoid. Shame it hurts like one.
