What are the dangers of leaving your external hemorrhoid untreated?

My piles is puffy but it isn’t painful. It only hurts when I have constipation but it dosen’t bleed. I can push the piles back into my anus as it’s not very big. But it’ll pop out again when I poop.

Hi Lipslikesugar,
You have what is know as a prolapsed hemorrhoid and the medical world grade these like this:

Grade one: No prolapse but they can bleed.

Grade two: prolapse when straining, but they go back when you stop straining.

Grade three:prolapse when straining but don’t go back themselves and must be pushed back in

Grade Four: Prolapsed and cannot be pushed back.

You should definitely go and see a doctor because if your anal muscle has a spasm it cuts off the blood supply to the prolapsed hemorrhoid and strangulates it this can lead to all sorts of serious problems.

Lipslikesugar to help you here are a few tips for you.

First aid for your prolapsed hemorrhoid is a SITZ bath taken 4-5 times a day you can use cool water to ease the swelling clean the area and add baking soda or salt to the water soak. Do not use soap in the water as this will only irritate and stay in the water for 15-20 minutes. These days you can buy a small plastic bath which fits on top of your toilet saving you water and making the process faster.

You can also use an ice pack for your prolapsed hemorrhoid to ease the swelling again only use it for 15-20 minutes making sure you wrap the ice pack in a thin towel first as not to damage some already very sensitive skin.

The next thing to help your prolapsed hemorrhoid is a change in diet to a high fiber diet don’t be surprised if you get flatulence when you change your diet this shows you it is working. The next thing in you should think about changing is cutting back or cutting out the use of nicotine and alcohol.

Water yes water are you drinking enough of the stuff, remember the consumption of coffee or alcohol gets rid of water from the body, you should be drinking 2.8 pints of the stuff per day and 3.8 pints of it if you live in a warm spot.

Last but not least EXERCISE a horrible word huh? I know the older you get usually the more reluctant you get to do some sort of regular exercise but come on is a prolapsed hemorrhoid fun….no then make sure you go for a brisk 45 minute walk at least every other day and twice on Sunday..(Only kidding about Sunday)

There is probably no one reason why you got a prolapsed hemorrhoid but rather a mixture of reasons, and this is the same for everybody who gets a prolapsed hemorrhoid. These reason are; Straining during a bowel movement maybe due to constipation (lack of water),low fiber diet,pregnancy,lack of exercise or job that involves lots of sitting down,obesity,diarrhea constantly lifting too much they are all contributing factors to getting a prolapsed hemorrhoid.

So Lipslikesugar I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery if you need any further help I have put an address that you can get further information on your problem. Peter

What are the best home based treatments for hemorrhoids?

It would be nice to sit down without having an assache. Any suggestions?

It’s called a sitz bath. Put enough water in the tub just to cover the bottom of your legs and sit in the warm water. If it starts to cool drain in and put more warm water in. 20-30 minutes several times a week. pat dry. If you need something for “friction” use petroleum jelly.

What is the difference between a hemorrhoid and a polyp?

Size, color, shape…one worse? Can you show me a legitimate picture to distinguish the two?

You can see Hemmorhoids as they usually hang from the rectum and sometimes they are inside the lower bowel
A polyp is usually found on the walls inthe bowel, so not visibly seen unless a colonoscopy is performed.
Polyps are usually removed if found as they may be the begining of bowel cancer ….hemmorhoids are a painful condition because when a bowel action is commenced it will scrape the lining of the hemmorhoid causing it to bleed.
Polyps would be worse even though you have no symptoms…..hemmorhoids are painful but can be removed surgically.

Can Preparation H cure hemorrhoid or just for relieve symptoms?

Using a topical creme(Prep H) is not a long term answer to get rid of hemorrhoids, but it will provide temporary relief and shrink the hemorrhoid.

Can I make my hemorrhoids worse by doing normal every day stuff even tho it hurts?

HI Emma

Here are some ideas to heal the issue. Drink a gallon of water a day (I do) to start moving out excess waste (colon) and toxins that are in the blood. Also, be sure to do a colon cleanse to help resolve the issue.

Cause
Hemorrhoids are often the result of poor diet, constipation or a sluggish bowel, straining during bowel movements, chronic low-level dehydration, lack of exercise, and/or a sedentary lifestyle. Correcting these factors can be very helpful in preventing and eliminating hemorrhoids.

Caution: Bleeding during bowel movements needs to be checked to rule out other more serious conditions. If you experience blood in your stool, seek immediate medical attention.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Cypress, juniper, frankincense, or niaouli.

Ayurveda: Drink 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice three times daily until symptoms clear. The Ayurvedic herbal compound triphala is also very effective for relieving hemorrhoid pain and for promoting the overall health of the gastrointestinal tract.

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes high-fiber foods, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (especially dark green, leafy vegetables, such as kale), grains such as brown rice and millet, and lean, organic meats and poultry. Also drink plenty of healthy beverages, such as herbal teas, fresh squeezed juice, and pure, filtered water.

Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® can be applied to external hemorrhoids to ease symptoms.

Herbs: The aptly named herb pilewort is a staple treatment for hemorrhoids in Europe because of its effectiveness in reducing hemorrhoid symptoms. Collinsonia is another highly effective herbal remedy for hemorrhoids. As a topical application, mix 10 ml of collinsonia tincture with 80 ml of distilled witch hazel and apply this combination after every bowel motion and as needed. Other useful herbs include bilberry, buckthorn bark, butcher`s broom, comfrey root, gotu kola, parsley, passionflower, and stone root.

Homeopathy: Aloe, Hamamelis, Nux vom., Berberis, Acidum fluor., and Thuja are helpful homeopathic remedies.

Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help keep the bowels regular and soften stools: carrot, spinach, celery, and parsley; carrot and watercress; or beet juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help prevent and reverse hemorrhoids: vitamin C with bioflavonoids and rutin, vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, folic acid, essential fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Linseed oil (one teaspoon upon arising and at night) can also be used to help soften stools.

Topical Treatment: Apply a combination of zinc oxide, vitamin E, and aloe vera gel or olive oil to the affected area. Witch hazel applied topically can help shrink hemorrhoids, while calendula ointment can help relieve pain and itching.

how long will a hemorrhoid last without treatment?

Im a “virgin” to Hemorrhoids, and i think i may have an internal one, from what i have read. Some sites say they’ll clear up in up to two months, others a week, im just wondering because the pain is annoying me, im neglecting doing certain things such as bending over, getting up because this is when it hurts most. So how long should i wait before I see a Doctor? What can I do EASILY to help it on its way? By this I mean I dont have time for 4 small baths every day, like some places suggest. I could really just use some guidance.

One of the best ways to help heal an internal hemorrhoid is with Preparation H suppositories or ointment. It decreases the swelling and pain while it helps heal the hemorrhoids. I’d give the Preparation H a few days to work, otherwise if it continues to hurt after that or you have a lot of blood in your stool, then get in to see your doctor.
