Are hemmoroids the problem or something else??
Posted , 3 users are following.
Please help if you can! Ever since having my children I have dealt with uncomfortable hems. For the past year I have had increased rectal pain, especially when I am standing. The mornings it's the least, but as the day goes on the pain increases and increases until I feel upan urgency to sit and when I sit I feel relief. My hems are stage 3. After a bowel movement I have pain that can last hours... one Colin rectal surgeon said it's spasms but has offered no solution. Another said I need the hems removed. I have been doing yoga to help the spasms but still encounter pain when standing. Feelings like immense pressure in that area or even like I need to have a bowel movement even if I already did and I know I don't need to. Then when I sit I feel relief. But then I deal with the pain after bowel movements and for that usually only an ice pack will help but I feel pain for hrs. This has been taking over my life and I need a solution! Can anyone help? Does is sound like hem pain and should I do a hemmorhoidectomy?

Hi barb
That pressure is definately a sign that something in that region is amiss. Usually it's internal haemorrhoids that have become edematous or inflamed.
It's worth going to a colorectal guy who can do a proctoscope in the office to have a look.
It won't be anything other than haemorrhoids I think judging by your symptoms. If it's causing you such angst just get it looked at. There are less invasive things that can be dont to fix it if it's early
Good luck. Xx

In my experience barb if the internal ones are inflamed or have edema around them they can cause pain.
This is what happened to me post giving birth recently. I had to have a haemorrhoidectomy
So they're not always painless

Thank you for your thoughts in this! It has been so difficult. I have been trying to avoid he surgery at all costs. Had bandings done five or six times. I am so confused because some of the doctors say that hemmoroids are usually painless. One dr said if I remove them I could make spasms worse. Another said the hems were thrombosed and stage four. Both colon rectal surgeons. I am just so unsure what to do. But I need my life back. We're any of you in pain prior to surgery or told anything about levator

Have you seen a doctor or thought about going through with the surgery to have them removed? I am so scared to take the plunge on surgery in case thst isn't the source of the problem.
