Question 1

what's an external fixator?

Accepted Answer

Fracture stabilizer : Some fractures are treated with external fixation instead of internal fixation. Plates and screws are used to hold the broken ends of the bone together while the fracture heals. These devices are placed under the skin and muscles. An external fixator uses pins in the bone to connect with bars outside the body. Both accomplish the same goal, to stabilize the fracture until it heals.

Question 2

external hemorroids how long last?

Accepted Answer

Forever : Once u have the hemrrhoids they do not go away. Ur symptoms can be controlled by avoiding constipation and bulking up stool ( high fiber diet and lots of water). If not better with diet, may have to have surgery. It can be painful though so u should only consider surgery as a last resort.

Question 3

is weeping normal for an external haemorrhoid?

Accepted Answer

Weeping!: Weeping? Blood, liquid? Can hurt, b inflamed, but shouldn't have discharge.

Question 4

would external hemorroids go away by themselves?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Inflamed, Thrombosed or clotted hemorrhoids will go down over time. Most hemorrhoids once present will not go away unless surgically removed.

Question 5

what will i do with external hemmoroid to be gone?

Accepted Answer

Topical treatment: Use fiber and stool softeners. Soak in a warm bath, clean the area with alcohol pads and use hemorrhoidal ointments.

Question 6

what does vagisil mean when they say external use?

Accepted Answer

Not inside: It means you dont put it all the way inside.

Question 7

i have external fixator removal recovery timeframe?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on what type of external fixator one has and the reason it was placed. Ask your surgeon for more details, s/he will be able to tell you more details.

Question 8

what do i do if i find out i have a external hemmeroid ?

Accepted Answer

Fiber: Most people do not get enough fiber and often not even enough fluid &amp;#40;especially  plain water&amp;#41; in their diet.  Therefore daily stool volume/diameter is not sufficient to massage the rich network of veins in the rectal area to prevent hemorrhoids from developing.  I would encourage you to consume 25-30 grams of fiber per day, drink 2 qts/ l per day of plain water.

Question 9

how long does it take for external hemmoroids to go away?

Accepted Answer

afew days: If not thrombosed, or 2-3 weeks if thrombosed. Repeated attacks will leave redundant skin tags which are not hemorrhoids, and they will persist once formed unless you have surgery to remove them, which i generally do not recommend unless having more extensive hemorrhoid surgery anyway.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Some can be: 1. Short term memory loss
2. Inability to follow semi-complex instructions
3. Forgetting the name of things you have always known
4. Outbursts of anger for little reason
5. Losing track of the day, date, year, place, etc.
