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.

I’m concerned with my bleeding hemorrhoids ?

I had IBS, now I have a hemorrhoid, got a lump ” in there ” for a few days now, I was given a cream just today but should I be concerned if I left blood stains where I sat ? Is it becoming serious ? This is my first time having such a disease, I’m anxious.
The bleeding won’t stop, I changed my underwear twice now.

Did you have a rectal exam when you were given the cream? It’s normal for hemorrhoids to bleed a bit, but if it becomes prolapsed or strangulated, then you need more urgent help. Don’t worry about a little bleeding, but if the pain becomes very severe or the bleeding gets really bad, seek help at an urgent care center or ER.

Constipation: how hard is too hard to push?

I’m sorry, this is embarrassing. I’m scared of getting hemorrhoids or rectal prolapse or something from pushing too hard when trying to poop. So, how hard is too hard to push?
So pretty much anytime you have to push kind of hard you should just take a laxative? Or should you fight through it and then eat fiber and drink water to prevent it from happening again?

You know it’s too hard when you have to hold your breath and strain really hard. Or if your face turns red or your stomach starts to hurt OR the next day your abdominal muscles are sore from pushing too hard. You most likely will pop a vein resulting in a hemorrhoid

Do fish get hemorrhoids? EMERGENCY!?

I have a 2″ midas cichlid, and it appears as though his anus has inverted. It has turned itself out of the body about 1 cm, and the poop comes out of that. He isn’t looking good now, almost swimming sideways and trying to hide out, I’ve never seen this, what should I do?

It sounds like a prolapsed rectum. Unfortunately, there’s not really anything you can do to remedy the situation. I’d suggest adding a bit of salt (about a tablespoon per 10 gallons) solely to help prevent infection (it will stimulate the fish’s immune system). You’ll also want to separate it from any other fish, as it will be vulnerable as long as its insides are out. There’s a chance it will resolve itself, but more likely, you’ll have trouble down the line.
