Question 4

how can i get hemorrhoids to go away?

Accepted Answer

Tincture of Time: Acute flare ups are typically self-limited. If there is a thrombosed hemorrhoid this too will also go away althought you may end up with a tag of extra tissue. Repeated flare ups can lead to a prominence of extra hemorrhoidal tissue that will not go away and may need surgical intervention. 
Avoid constipation and use good bowel habits. No reading on the toilet.

Question 6

how to get rid of hemorrhoid pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain: From hemorrhoids is usually due to an external hemorrhoid issue. If they are just swollen, bed rest for 24-48 hours and warm tub soaks work best. If it is thrombosed or clotted, seeing a colorectal surgeon to incise and drain will get the most prompt response. Be sure your pain is not due to an anal fissure as that is sometimes present and needs different treatment.

Question 7

how do i get rid of hemorrhoid????

Accepted Answer

Start with an exam: The place to start is with an examination by a general or colorectal surgeon. That doctor will be able to assess if you (a) have hemorrhoids and (b) need treatment. All human beings have normal hemorrhoidal cushions in their lower rectum and anus.

Once you have been examined, the surgeon can give you a treatment plan. This plan may include surgery.

Question 8

can you get hemorrhoids from anal?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Trauma to the ano-rectal region may result in an anal fissure (a tear in the lining) which can be painful.  Hemorrhoids are normal swellings of tissue in the anal canal, and are aggravated by straining, hard stools, and poor bowel habits.

Question 9

can external hemorrhoids get bigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hemorrhoids ate veins under the skin in the anal area. They become enlarged or irritated with constipation & sitting at the toilet straining  too long. The veins can continue to enlarge with repeated irritation from constipation. Dink more water, eat more fiber (fruits & vegetables, metamucil).

Question 10

how can a 7 month old get hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

I've never seen it: I see skin tags on a kids bottom occasionally & they often have a scratch inside their anus that bleeds if stool is hard are too large. Neither are a sign of hemorrhoids. I have never seen a true hemorrhoid in a kid in 3 decades of practice.
