My boyfriend has chronic Hemorrhoids; it bleeds from time to time, goes away for a few days then comes back. I’ve seen blood in the toilet. He says it’s really painful and stings. I told him to go to a doctor but he flat out refuses. He's embarrassed. I don't know what to do; sometimes I find him up at night trying to nurse it himself. I’ve purchased him wipes and Perpetration-H to try to help. I’m pretty sure he needs surgery to fix it. This is not a fake story. I just don't know why guys are so embarrassed when it comes to getting themselves checked! It is really that bad to get your privates checked? It's not like the doctor will announce it to the world!
He should purchase Metamucil, it is not a laxative, but is a powder that is orange flavored and you mix a teaspoon in a glass of water. One glass a day will be fine although the dosage listed is for 3 times a day. It will make going to the bathroom easy, clean, and will help to prevent hemorrhoids from ever reoccurring.
Take hot baths, or soak himself in hot water, several times a day where the inflammation area.
Straining oneself when using the toilet and a diet low in fiber is what likely caused the hemorrhoids.
I learned this the hard way a couple months ago when from out of nowhere I developed an external hemorrhoid and had surgery to remove the blood clot. All is fine now, everything healed, and hopefully I'll never have to deal with this topic again after being educated by the doctors who treated me. Prior to this one time thing, I never had a problem with this issue.
Doctors exist to deal with these issues, there is no embarrassment in speaking about it in private.
Get Metamucil!!!! The stuff is great. Witch Hazel pads are also good for reducing inflammation.
Peace jah bless
