i haven't been feeling too great lately and i usually go to the bathroom like once a day but here lately, even when i feel like going, i can't. i know that there's something there trying to escape but just can't get it to come out. its embarrassing but i did tell my mom…and she bought me laxatives and stuff and 3 days ago i took 3 of them and didn't see any big change but did go that night. and now, it seems as if something is there stopping it. how do i know if i have hemoroids and if i do, is there any way to cure them at home? thanks so much
should i drink a bit of castor oil?
i'm thinking i need to eat more fruits and veggies because ive been eating a lot of "junk" for the past couple of weeks because i'm always on the go and grab whatever is easy to eat in the car. but then i read that eating too much fiber can also cause this. so maybe i just need to adjust my diet and see what happens? and if nothing improves, go to the doctor? i have gas, but nothing's moving out…lol.
drink more water, Drink a glass or 2 of prune juice or eat prunes. sounds like you are constipated yet. If you had hemroids, you would feel them, like a grape(could be smaller or larger or more than 1) protruding from your anus. It is bulging blood vessels. They itch and burn and hurt and caused by straining hard to go poop. Pregnant women often get them because of increased pressure in that area. If you feel something like that, get a good finger full of Vaseline and gently push it back up inside. There is medication available over the counter called Preparation H that is an astringent, meaning it will help shrink them. Go to Mayo Clinic,com and look up constipation and hemroids for other tips to care for them. if you don't have anything sticking out, you may just be royally constipated. Good luck. I've been there.
