I have hemorrhoids for about 6 months now.
After trying several creams,
depositories, witch hazel and other stuff,
my doctor prescribed me a
cream which contains cortison. My
hemorrhoids didn't get any better.
I have an excellent diet, eat lots of
vegetables, fruits, no chocolate, no
caffeeine but have a sitting computer job.
I've purchased a special sitting pillow
(kind of like a doughnut) it helps a
little bit for comfort.
I excercise 3 times a week. My father
had hemorrhoids as well, I believe i've
inhereted those from him.
Does anybody have a cure or an idea how to
get rid of this problem?
I would appreciate it. I'm planning to
have a baby this year, but i'm scared that
any medication could be dangerous.

Hemorrhoids Posted: 01-19-05 22:17pm
I have had hemorrhoids off and on for the
past 3 years since I had my first
daughter. Usually they come and go
lasting anywhere from a couple of days to
a week or so. I have tried creams also
but nothing really works but time. I am
expecting my second daughter at the end of
the month and I have had hemorrhoids
throughout this entire pregnancy which has
made it very hard to get around,
especially in these later weeks. And i'm
sure that labor is really going to bring
them out. I am planning on getting them
removed after I have the baby. Right now
it's too late to get anything done. But
I would def. Recommend that you get them
removed before you get pregnant!!! They
only get worse while you are expecting.
Frankly, i'm surprised that your doctor
didn't recommend that you have them
removed. And if he says it's not needed,
I would suggest getting a second
opinion!!! Good luck and take lots of
sitz baths!!!

This is really embaressing and I have not
told anyone I know yet, but I have
hemorrhoids, well - one at least. Is
this common at 16 years of age, and if
not, is it more/less harmful at this age.
It's really irritating and slightly
painful when I sit down or move in a
particular way. Can anyone help? Please
tell me that they leave fairly quickly,
it's not something I want to have to deal
with having just started my a-levels.

Herbal Remedy Posted: 09-25-05 15:02pm
I have started taking herbal remedies for
all of my ailments, as traditional
medicines do not seem to help. I suffered
from terrible hemerrhoids for 3 months
until a friend recommended taking the
herbs horse chesnut, butcher's broom, and
cayenne pepper. All work in slightly
different ways as a blood thinner,
astringent, reducer of vericose veins, and
re-builder of veins in your body.
Although you can buy them separately, they
are much more effective if taken together.
She also recommended taking flax oil
(lowers cholesterol, prevents heart
attacks, improves regularities, and helps
dry skin--which I suffer from). You can
find any of these herbal remedies from a
health food store or gnc.
I bought "nature's way leg veins"
(includes horsechesnut, butcher's broom,
and cayenne pepper) from my local health
food store and some flax oil. My
hemerrhoids seemed gone after the second
day! I have not had any problems since
(and have continued taking the herbs).
Considering I tried everything I could
medically and over the counter, I am
incredibly happy about the effectiveness
of these and the cost (about $16.00
total).
I would strongly recommend trying these
herbs. Good luck everyone!
