Hello, I think I was a bit constipated last week and I let out a stool that was hard, dry, and big. It was hard to pass. Since then, I knew I had to drink more and add more fiber, and since the day I let the big one out, I’ve been going to the washroom everyday, with better results.
However, I think the day I let the big one out, I got a case of hemroids. After that day, every time I go to the washroom, it hurts a lot and when I pat it clean, blood appears. The water turns a reddish-orange colour, probably due to the blood in the feces.
Is there a cure? By the way, I found out plums for me make my feces liquid-ish and a lot easier to pass. If I eat a lot of plums during the next week will that help? Does ointment like Polysporin help? How long does it usually take to heal hemroids? Thanks!
If your passing blood time to see a doctor.My doctor has me on Metamucil daily Plus a stool softener Its natural fibre and tastes ok No more pain or blood

I had a few days of diarrhea after a stomach virus combined with a recent change in the length of time that i sit. I'm now on day 5 of at home treatments…prescription proctofoam, frequent hot sitz baths, eating lots of fiber, drinking more water…i try to lay down on the couch rather than sit…
so for those of you with success stories…i'd like to know…how many days of treatment did it take…what products do you think got you the results and how long did it take?
Well, it depends on the treatment, type and size of the hemorrhoids.
In general external hemorrhoids cure much faster than internal. With Rue Care Oil a medium size hemorrhoid can shrink within 5 – 7 days, and a larger one about 12 – 14 days (this is from personal and family experience). While in case of a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid it took about 7 days for the prolapse to shrink and about 2.5 weeks for the internal hemorrhoid to shrink.
This is, as I mentioned, by treatment with Rue Care Oil. All other treatment options including Preparation H, which hazel, sitz bath etc didn't help.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and my doctor keeps asked me if i have been constipated and i haven't untill a couple days ago but i forget to mention to him that when i do use the bathroom and after i wipe there is blood from my anal. (this is so embarrising) So is it normal during pregnancy to have your anal bleed if you are constipated? is that hemroids?
Internal haemarroids usually cause bleeding as they sort of burst as you are passing the stool.
I have had this with all 3 babies (and inbetween pregnancies too) and is very easily fixed with a change of diet, drinking loads of water and using a haemarroid cream like 'Rectinol' that you insert into the bottom rather than just smearing on the outside (like you would for an external haemarroid.)
Try eating lots of fibre rich foods, drink the extra water but go and see your doctor and let him know you are passing blood with stools. Its a little embarrasing I know, but better to get checked out anyway. They've seen it all before, its no biggie to them so don't let it worry you.
Good luck and don't worry. It is normal but its very treatable. Trust me when I say, the longer you leave it the worse it gets. The bigger you get, the more pressure down there and well, just go get checked out now.

and it itches and they frickin hurt….how do you get rid of them without going to the doctor??
Take baths to soak hemorrhoids couple of times at least a day.
Do not wipe with toilet paper as it will worsen irritation. Instead use a squirt bottle and dab area with moistened medicated pads such as Tux which contains witch hazel.
Follow the 2 minute rule. If you feel the need to have a bowel movement and it does not happen within 2 minutes of being seated at the toilet, get up and try later. This prevents straining and pressure.
Wear loose fitting clothing.
Avoid foods that tend to constipate. Eat light.
You can purchase an inflatable ring that is a cushion for you to sit on. They are available at drug stores.
You may also want to try products such as preparation H or Nupercainol. They come in creams , ointments, and suppositories.

I have internal hemroids, and my doctor prescribed a suppository for me to take twice daily. Well, I took mine, but now I have to poop.. Can I still go to the restroom? Or do I have to wait a period of time for my suppository to kick in?
Thanks
inserting the suppository causes the rectum to feel the urge, try to ignore it if you can, if you push the suppository out, it does you no good.
