A member asked:
External) hemorrhoid is painful. (didn't try to pass stool; it just hurt all of a sudden after a lot of walking). ways to ease discomfort at home??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Considerations...: "healing" depends on whether the original cause for hemorrhoids persists. Have you been straining at stool, have rectal dysfunction, perform an activity that increases pelvic engorgement with blood or increases pelvic pressure (heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, etc.)? Have your hemorrhoids been surgically or medically managed (& with otc or prescription drugs)? Are you sure they're hemorrhoids?
