Hemorrhoids! I need to get to the "bottom" of the problem.

I hope he goes for treatment, he should also go to a medical supply store or pharmacy and buy a "donut" to sit on, even after treatment (to prevent a re-occurance) it is good for anyone who sits for long periods.

According to the Harvard Health Publications Your husband should drink more water and eat more fiber, whole fresh vegetables and fruits with the skin. These will soften the stool and make it easier to pass. He should go as soon as he feels the need and not put it off. Take sitz bath in WARM water immediately after having a stool plus 2 or 3 more time during the day. mild exercise should also help. http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Hemorrhoids_and_what_to_do_about_them.htm

Well mental, you are talking about 2 problems: the hemorrhoids and the fact that they are bleeding which of itself could lead to infection and other complications . So first thing to do is to try to control or stop the bleeding by: 1. MAKING SOFT POO Take laxatives like Senna for example which is a bulk laxative and has less side effects than other kinds, daily to soften stool . Also he must eat a good share of bread, fruits and vegetables everyday to give bulk to the stool instead of just meat and other things that are low in fiber . 2. Disinfecting the ruptured veins: make him sit in a basin full of disinfectant like Dettol dissolved in warm water after each bowel movement . 3. Frequent visit to bathroom, like 2 poos a day rather than once every 2 days . ....... When the bleeding is controlled you have congested veins full of blood ready to explode anytime, that are very painful leading to the person avoiding going to bathroom which,may further make things worse . So here's how you can go about dealing with that 1. For the pain and swelling try Diclofenac gel applied on top of the inflammed VEINS whether inside or around the "rim" .It's not prescribed traditionally but it can't hurt so give it a try . 2. The hemorrhoids are full of blood because blood can't drain out of the veins in a adequate fashion so you can help venous drainage by a. Husband must not wear TIGHT UNDERPANTS or TIGHT SHIRT (a shirt that is tight on the belly presses more blood down into the hemorrhoids . b. Husband must avoid sitting on his aass for too long because gravity will cause blood to pool in lowest part of his body, ie his a hole . c. Husband must try to lose some weight: a big fatty belly will prevent blood from coming back into abdomen from pelvis . d. Husband should treat any cough he has because frequent coughing and sneezing cause the belly to contract pressing down on the hemorrhoids causing them to swell up even more . If you follow those directions closely, especially the one about belly reduction and weight loss, I am confident he will recover without SURGERY AT ALL . Best Wishes Shogunly

avoid meat and poultry.vege and fruits and lots of water,that should do it.hope this helps!

My Doctor told me to eat a bowl of Albran every day. Works well for me. Timing is everything. Eat about an hour or two before you want to go to the bathroom. Also find out what is causing it and try to eliminate the problem. I can't eat cheese in large quantity, bananas, or dried fruit. All three, I need a stick of dynomite. so I cut down on the cheese, bananas, and rehydrate the dried fruit. Also, 20 to 23 units of fiber per day are important. So try to increase his fiber by putting oatmeal or brown rice in his meatloaf or veggie loaf (whichever is appropriate). Hemorrhoids hurt horribly. I've had things with way less pain that people think are awful. Hope he finds relief. Hope this helps, it helped me. Also my Colonoscopy was fantastic. My fiber intake, some days, is double the recommended amount. Take care, good luck, and let us know if any of the remedies helps.

try doing a hot sitz bath. let him sit in a commode. commode is like a pail chair. put hot water on the pail and let him sit on it. it will steam his hemorrhoids and for sure it will ooze the pain. let him eat lots of fibers and drink water. it will soften his stool so that he will not strain when he does his bowel.

make him sit on a basin of lukewarm salt solution and make sure that he drinks lots of water and avoids spicy food. the salt in the solution will kill germs.

A lot of times they are caused my straining to evacuate, being overweight, heavy lifting, etc. He needs some good fiber in his diet, so he can pass without straining. I don't know that anything will give immediate relief, but he should try a system and colon cleanse to help him get regular. Check into Renew Life, they were made by a colon specialist and she uses organic materials.

I suggest that your husband try this home remedy that has worked for my dad when he went through the same dilemma. Half fill a basin with clean water. Put plenty of ice cubes and wait for the water to be icy cold. Let your husband sit on the basin and dip the affected area. The longer that he can stand it, the better. Do this for around 3-4 times a day or as many times as he can. This will eventually shrink the hemorrhoids. Also, advise him to take a larger dose of vitamin C. This will also help in reducing inflammation in the area. After doing the above, my dad didn't have to be operated on. This worked well for him and I hope it does the same wonder too, for your husband. Hope this helps! :)

not feel well hha

Hi mentalward, I know what he is going thru. I have hemroids too and sometimes they are real bad. One time they were so bad, I bled and could barely walk. A friend of mine who also has hemroids told me about a medication that helped tremendously. It is called Proctofoam HC. It is a prescription and he will have to get his doctor to call it in. Within a few days, my hemroids were shrunk enough that I could walk, was in no pain, and I was back to normal. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

In the first place this man is probably overweight. Second, his diet over many years has not had enough fiber therefore a lot of constipation which has formed the hemorrhoids. If he is having bleedings he best get to the hospital because it could be a problems of something much more serious than hemorrhoids. In 1999, I almost lost my life because of bleeding from the rectum. I did not have hemorrhods but I have diverticules. I have many years living in Mexico, a lot of greesy foods, really bad nutrition which lead to the problem. I now use Herbalife aloe and florafiber tablets. Aloe is juice from the salvia plant. I can sponsor you if you are interested in the product. My ID number is 111416274 with name of Margret Phyllis Moses Poff. In Mexico I need to use my mother's maiden name as part of my name. The aloe will help to clean out his dirty colon, help to reconstuct the intestinal flower, also is an antibiotic, helps to combat or prevent heartburn, ulcers, acidez, bad digestion, hemorrhoids, uric acid, constipation, gastitis and colitis also used with the florafiber tablets to eliminate inflammation of the stomach as well as disparasite his colon. The junk medicines as Preparation H only smooth the pain does not get to the cause of the problem. God bless you for your concern and God bless your husband because his is having to learn that he has had a life of bad nutrition.

As far as I know about men, most of them are unwilling to see doctors,refusing to accept help out of false sense of pride. let alone hemorrhoid! Neither do i have any idea on how to get my husband to a doctor instead of drawing him forcibly into hospital when he's ill, i wish someone else could give us some real good ideas.

Hi, I suggest you should try the alternative medicines i.e natural form of treatment for hemorrhoids, it worked for me ! check out
