Please help! Hems ruining my life- might resort to surgical
Posted , 2 users are following.
Since October I've had a feeling in my anus almost every night, varying sensations, pressure, sensitivity, tickling, stinging etc. I've had a sigmoidoscopy and they said I had internal haemorrhoids. I've had two rounds of steroid suppositories and used normal ones for a month. but still the sensations in the evening! I think it comes from having small bits of poop in the evening irritating the skin just inside my anus?
it doesn't hurt but it drives me insane and ruins every evening, and it's so weird it's almost always the evenings. it's like I can feel something stuck in there, and have to resort to pulling out little lumps sometimes. would doing that make them worse? my finger irritating them?
does banding really help or bring on new symptoms? I'm really considering those options now but I don't just want a new set of symptoms!
does anyone else get weird sensations with internal haemorrhoids?

Please take a look at the post I just made in this forum on how I got rid of my hemorrhoid pain.

Also, I would stop using steroids altogether. Steroids have a tendency to weaken the layers of tissue inside the anus over time and ultimately make your hemorrhoids worse.

Update: Sorry the forum post I listed above got flagged for review because I added a graphic demonstrating part of what I meant. I wish I knew that was going to happen and I wouldn't have added the graphic.
Anyway, the main thing that worked for me was to take a Tucks medicated pad that contains witch hazel, fold it up into a ball but not too tight so none of the liquid comes out. Then insert it into your bum while leaving enough hanging out so that you don't lose it in there. You need to be able to pull it back out. Then bend over as far as you can and aim your bum toward the sky. Think Downward Facing Dog yoga pose. Then start clenching and releasing your bum repeatedly for about 30 seconds and then pull the pad out and discard it.
Do this every time you have a bowel movement. The point of this is to get the witch hazel from the pad, down inside your bum to contact your swollen hemorrhoids. If the witch hazel doesn't directly contact the thrombosed veins, it's worthless.
Hope this helps. Keep checking my link above because I have a lot of other information in it that you will NEED to do if you don't want to be fighting extremely painful hemorrhoids for the rest of your life.
