Natural remedies
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, thanks to all who helped me on my other thread. I looked around some previous threads (and maybe I'm missing a search option that only searches this forum).
Summary of symptoms:
- Combined internal/external hemorrhoid
- Internal comes out during BM (pushed back in)
- BM are pretty narrow and usually formed and harder (working on fiber but not enough perhaps). I assume the low volume and narrow poops are due to the internal making the passage way more narrow?
- I get a thrombosis every couple of years
- I asked doc for surgery but backed out
- After my last two soccer games, the external gets really irritated (feels like a mild thrombosis where the pile doesn't get fully filled b/c it has enough skin... its basically a skin tag now from a previous thrombosis)
- Every few months I have no bleeding internally
- When bleeding starts, it stays irritated for a few months.
- If there is bleeding, it's only during BM and sometimes has clots (not sure if they are coming out from the internal one or if it's from sitting on the toilet too long)
Now, if I could reduce the size of this thing, naturally, I'd be super happy. I'd like to be able to play soccer or run without having a kind of a flare up. I don't know... maybe at this point the external skin tag bit (being in the middle back) is just a larger size forever and will always be annoying unless I get it cut out. It wasn't always like this. I could play soccer without feeling it after. I can even feel it while sitting.
Also, if your natural remedy ideas are a form of application, how do I get whatever oil/cream in contact with the internal bits?
As for diet, I have been adding fiber powder (3g per) to water about 2-3 times a day and I've been eating Fiber One bars and apples. I would guess I'm in the 15g range for daily fiber intake. I know men need more. But, if I eat too much I get a stomach ache. They get too loose, and since I'm hairy and the placement of the external, it's super annoying for hygiene.
Thanks!

How much water a day you're taking? Try to increase water intake. The best way to do so is to always have a bottle of water with you. I keep it on my desk and drinking water all the time while I'm working.
The most important thing, what is the cause of your hemorrhoids? If possible you should eliminate it if possible.

I'm trying to up the water intake. I'll have a bottle at my desk, then forget about it. I currently have a cup of coffee and two water bottles. I've only had 16 ounces of water today and a cup of coffee... I could do a lot better and sadly, I'm trying.
And I think the biggest cause of mine is straining on the toilet. I can't eliminate that But, I've been downing fiber a LOT lately. Nothing seems to help. I either have hard stools or too much fiber where I basically have watery stools. My primary card doctor told me to have 2 nice sized loose BM a day. That's not happening, no matter what I've tried so far (he says, knowing he doesn't drink enough water).
I'm going to just down these two water bottles now since I know I'll forget again.

Try to do an experiment with increased water intake for a few days to see results. Another guy here on Patient.info told me how much water I should take per each Kg of my weight. According to him I should drink 2x more than I thought I should.
Next day I increased water intake to see if something will change. I drank a lot of water, maybe 4L a day. I was never constipated (or I think so) but my first piece of stool was often dry and with mucus around it. Since I increased water intake the whole stool is soft, no dry parts anymore.
So try to focus for 2-3 days and drink a lot of water. With softer stool you should less strain.
Btw do you have any mucus in your stool?
