FluidsFiberFollow-Up: The two often go together, especially if the hemorrhoids bleed and/or hurt.But the constipation just makes it all worse.So firstly, get those hemorrhoids evaluated by a doctor;he or she will put them in perspective and suggest things.

Question 6

how could i cure my hemmorhoids?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids: One thing that is important is not to make your hemorrhoids worse. When you have a bowel movement be gentle when you clean yourself off.  You can use pre-moistened  toweletts to dab your anus. Try not to wipe/rub.  Pat the anus dry after cleaning.  Avoid using harsh soaps or ones that contain dyes or aromas.  Cotton underwear can be helpful as it absorbs moisture well in the anal area.

Question 8

what is the symptom of a hemmorhoid?

Accepted Answer

Itching, pain, more: Hemorrhoids are like varicose veins of the rectum. They can swell and bulge, and - when irritated by the passage of stool - bleed. People with hemorrhoids are often a bit constipated, some or all of the time. Hemorrhoids can itch as they heal, and when they bleed, they result in everything from dots of bright red blood on the toilet paper after wiping. Get an exam, and don't ignore rectal bleeding.

Question 9

if i have hemmorhoid--what do i do for it?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If this is an acute thrombosed hemorrhoid with swelling this usually resolves in a week or so on it's own.  For more chronic problems see a colon and rectal surgeon for evaluation, and depending on anatomy they can offer you the best treatment . Ps also need evaluation to assure that these are indeed hemorrhoids and not something else. Hope this helps.
