My question revolves around if I should get hemorrhoid surgery or not. First, a little history about me. I was that kid who sat on the toilet for hours reading magazines and the whole time I would be pushing until I got everything out, even if it was not ready. I would also hold it until the afternoon so my bathroom times were very consistent. And I always use wet wipes.
Some time last year, I started to notice that I would leak throughout the day, and that the smell was unbearable. Shorty thereafter, the pain started. It was an itchy, pulsating, burning pain. Up until then, I never had problems. So I went to a family physician and he put the clear thing in me to get a look inside. When he did that, I almost passed out from the pain.
He told me that I had a few internal skin tabs with inflammation. He gave me suppositories and I used them for two week and the pain went away. A few weeks later, the pain returned. I started to use cream, which I now use about three or four times a week. Sometimes I go without any pain for a few weeks, and sometimes I have to use the cream everyday.
From your experience, what should I do now? Keep using the cream, or look into surgery or other options?
