Question 1

does having lupus make hemorrhoids worst?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It is unlikely that lupus will effect hemorrhoids except in the instance when lupus is associated with a clotting abnormality.

Question 2

what exacerbates external hemorrhoids? what activities and/or food should i avoid?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not hemorrhoid: Are you sure you have just hemorrhoids? Pain +/- pruritis (itching) from the rectum that recurs may also indicate anal fissures, proctitis (due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, stercoral ulcers, rectal prolapse, trauma, etc.), prctalgia fugax. Depending on your age, risk factors, current medication (aspirin, nsaid's), circumstances, you will want to get evaluated.

Question 3

what is the best food to eat after hemorrhoid surgery?

Accepted Answer

Anuyjing: You can actually eat anything you'd like. I recommend considering  a soft or liquid diet for 2-3 days. Also take a still softener once or twice a day. Drink plenty of water and start trying to eat 20-30 grams of fiber a day

Question 4

does diazepam make hemorrhoids worst?

Accepted Answer

No, it shouldn't : Diazepam is a benzodiazepine, a type of drug which works as an anti-anxiety medication or a tranquilizer. It should not worsen hemorrhoids. The drugs which cause constipation, and thereby make hemorrhoids worse, are OPIATE PAIN KILLERS. These are drugs like Vicodin, Norco, (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) Codeine, morphine, Dilaudid, etc.

Question 5

aside from drinking lots of fluids, what foods should i eat or not eat to prevent my hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

None: Food is not the cause or cure for disease. High fiber foods will help prevent constipation which may aggravate hemorrhoids, butt won't cure the problem nor does it cause it.  If you want to prevent hemorrhoids walk on all fours like a gorilla

Question 6

good day,
ive had a bad case of diarrhea last week and now im stuck with a worst case hemorrhoids.  what can i use to help with pain

Accepted Answer

Warm water: A soak in a warm tub of water can be helpful. Get some soft wipes like Tucks so as not to aggrivate the situation.  Hydrocortisone cream can be helpful.

Question 7

i finish hemorrhoid, fissure surgery 6days back less food cause in passing so painful i didn't pass for3days but im eating yoghurt, milk, apple? normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pain with defecation after hemorrhoid or fissure surgery is common.  Nonetheless, the more you delay, the harder the stool, the more painful it will be to pass stool.  Drink plenty of fluids and water, minimize narcotics for pain control, walk as much as possible, take warm baths to keep the anal area clean and sooth the pain.

Question 8

last wednesday i noticed the onset of a large external hemorrhoid. i have been stricken with at worst like 7/10 pain. no topical creams or tuck wipes help. its terrible now to sit and walk. what else can i do, and how long before seeking treatment?

Accepted Answer

: I would try Sitz baths using salts you can get at drug store but discuss with your Dr. who can also be able to relive pain by removing the likely clot.

Question 9

i'm 16 weeks pregnant and my hemorrhoids are getting worst? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

No surgery: Though you are going into your second trimester surgery for hemorrhoids should be avoided as far as possible during pregnancy.  Local treatment with hemorrhoidal cream, soaking in warm water and diet rich in fiber content should ease your symptoms.

Question 10

i have grade 2 internal hemorrhoids that bleed without pain. apart from taking fiber rich food, would doing kegels help?

Accepted Answer

No: No, but medication can rx the problem. Kegel;s exercises will strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle and levator ani, but do nothing to rx the hemorrhoids.
