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.
Types of natural remedy for hemorrhoids: There are various types natural remedies for hemorrhoids. They are mainly herbal, food therapy, water therapy and reflexology.
1. Apply ice packs on the affected areas. (Water therapy)
2. Sitz bath, which is a small tub and is specially designed to allow the soaking of hemorrhoids without taking a bath. In this process the rectal area is soaked in hot water for 15-20 minutes about 3-4 times a day. Not only does this helps relieve symptoms but also aids shrinkage of the hemorrhoids. (Water therapy)
3. Buy a doughnut shaped cushion. They are available in pharmacies and medical supply stores and can be useful to hemorrhoid sufferers. Try and sit on it as instructed. (reflexology)
4. Try and practice healthy bowel habits. Avoid straining your self while passing stool. Don’t hold your breathe will on the bowel. Get off the toilet as you are finished. (reflexology related)
5. Drink lots of water as it smooths your stool passage. (Food therapy)
6. Eating fresh fruits, vegetables and fibrous food items. (Food therapy)
7. Aromatherapy is also used to treat hemorrhoids. Here drops of lavender and juniper essential oils are added to warm water and then you soak in it for some time. One drop of lavender and geranium essential oils blended with one ounce of carrier oil applied to the bowel region work as an ointment.
8. Herb extracts like Japanese Pagoda Tree, Horse chestnut and Butcher’s broom have been clinically proven to successfully eliminate the hemorrhoids symptoms with a great success rate.
Getting Rid of Hemorrhoids – Natural Treatment That Works
Is it possible that I may have hemorrhoids later in life?
This is a serious question so serious answers please. About a year ago when I went to the toilet, when I was wiping my bottom, I noticed that there was bumps in my anal sphincter. I wanted to be able to visibly see this, but since it is in an area that vision can’t reach, I used a mirror.
There was blue to purple bumps all around where my sphincter muscle is, being a year on it remains unchanged, I don’t have any pain nor bleeding unless I have wiped too hard or used rough toilet paper. There should be skin there, not bumps right.
I am reluctant to go to the doctor being such a sensitive issue, but I would go if this was considered serious.
Thanks, answers that are serious would really help me make my decision about making an appointment with my GP:-)
everyone has hemorrhoids. it,s when they get ruptured is when they bleed. you are like thousands of other people in the world, they have them too and you don,t have to be old either. i know what your talking about because i have them too. you need more fiber in your diet and less meat and drink plenty of fluids but not so much coffee.
I have a tiny quarter of a pea size hemorrhoid inside my anus!?
I have a tiny quarter of a pea size hemorrhoid inside my anus!
And since I have noticed it there I have taken the following actions.
I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
I get about 18 to 25 grams of fiber a day.
I exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
I dont sit for more then an hour or stand for more then an hour.
And I apply prep H before I go to sleep and after bowel movements.
And since I have started all of this about 2 weeks ago it has become smaller and smaller.
And my question is , is there anything I could be doing that im not.
Using Prep H regularly, is really the key to shrinking your internal hemorrhoid. Use the Prep H as directed & avoid getting constipated by watching your diet. (avoid corn, pop corn, certain cheeses, like cottage cheese, as these are binding foods) The exercise is important, but has nothing to do with your problem. Avoid standing on cement floors or being on your feet for long periods of time. Avoid straining when expelling gas also, as that will push that hemorrhoid out. I have one too & the doctor calls it a “Fisher.”

Questions about hemorrhoids, please cite reliable sources!?
I think I have hemorrhoids. I don’t eat veggies much, so I’m used to constipation (it sounds gross, I know). There is a really small bump that doesnt look noticeable, but I can feel it. When I poop, it hurts a lot. Otherwise it doesn’t really bother me too much.
I was wondering if it ever really goes away. People are saying it NEVER goes away? Then how do I live with it?! Also, it is really minor but its been a few days so I was wondering if I should see a doctor anytime soon… Basically, will it ever heal by itself and disappear? Help please!
hemmorhoids once they form do not go away, they have to be surgically removed. You can treat them with things like preparation H or Annusol suppositories, but you would be far and away better off if you would simply drink more water to avoid the constipation that irritates the hemmorhoid and makes it swell in the first place. the body needs a minimum of two quarts of water daily. Of course if you ignore what your body is telling you, eventually the hemmorhoid will grow to enormous proportions and then it will have to be surgically removed… not a lot of fun.
I am a teen with hemorrhoids Very important question..Plzzz HELP?
I am a guy just 15 rite now and i have hemorrhoids. I just realized that today after 2 days of pain in my behind. my hemorrhoids is not big its small and its bleeding a bit and i was wondering if it was normal for me to have hemorrhoids because i told my mom and she said that you only get hemorrhoids when you are old and she was shocked that i have hemorrhoids….??!!! Plz Reply as soon as you can as i will see the doctor based on you guys answers ..THanks a LOT …plz reply as fast as you can and plz suggest me a medicine if you can and suggest me if i need to see the DOC. THanks
Be careful not to strain, or push too hard when you do go to the bathroom. Warm baths are good…Preparation H… stool softener (colace)…drink water…eat healthier (fiber, veggies). Are you on any medication? Some medications cause constipation.
See your doctor if you find you’re not feeling any relief after trying the Preparation H. Bleeding down there should not be ignored.
I hope you’re feeling better soon.
