Can your hemorrhoids become so swollen that it makes you feel like you need to go to the bathroom?

Just wondering....

      Thanks! I was wondering. I used some PREP H with Pramoxine and it helped I believe.

      Great if you can manage them with only creams! (Trust me on that) Good luck

      I realize that my response is a bit late. But what did you mean by " If I can manage them with only Creams"? They have gotten to the point where they slide out when standing . I have a surgery coming up in March or April so I cant have anything done about them yet. I am hoping that i can get something done soon.

      Hi Rhonda. In some cases hems, especially external hems, can be managed by creams, etc. Thats fine for some people and I am envious of that. But in some cases like my case, creams would not solve the problem. In that case surgery may become necessary. I stand by my position; Surgery only when all other remedies have been exhausted! But if surgery is needed, hang out here for support.

      I understand ! I feel like surgery is what I will have to do. Mine are slipping out when I stand. Not all the time, but most of the time. I also have a prolapsed rectum, where the rectum comes out of the anus. SO.... I have a 2 fold problem. If I have surgery, then I most certainly will be asking lots of questions! 😦
