when hemorrhoid medicine doesn't work

when hemorrhoid medicine doesn't work

Posted 11.22.2006 by Motherload (1058)

Ms. Jackson asks:

I had a colonnoscopy and it showed I had an internal hemorrhoid. I have had trouble using the bathroom for years. I complained I have to reposition myself on the toliet still -- even with polyethylene I still have to force and strain to have a bowel movement. Even with diarreh I still have to strain. What should i do? Should I ask for the removal of the hemorrhoid because the meds don't work? It is very painful.

Dear Ms. Jackson,

I believe that at this point you should indeed ask to have that pain in your ass removed, once and for all.

While hemorrhoid surgery is probably one of the most humiliating and post-operatively painful procedures to have to endure, I am sure that you will be happy with the results once the ordeal is over.

While lying in the prone (face down) position, the pelvic area is elevated so that the rump is sticking up in the air. The buttocks are spread apart and usually taped to the operating tabe in order to keep them separated. The rest of the procedure is top secret stuff that I can not tell you about.

There have been many advances in the medical field in the last few decades. Invasive procedures and major surgeries can now be performed with tiny incisions, minimal discomfort and shorter recovery times. This may be true for hemorrhoid surgery as well, but I can't be sure.

Go ahead and have it done so that you can write a report on your experience and tell us all first hand what it was like. Best of luck!

Thanks for asking Motherload!

Hemorrhoids can be terrible.

It sounds like your hemorrhoids are bad enough so the pain stops any of the contractions that propel the poop out.

In this case, I would absolutley have them removed, you will be much better off in the end.

Jeez, its not all that hard - drop trou, sit, shit, and wipe. Pull drawers back up and flush. You can do this. We can help.

That's because all hemorrhoid surgeries are conducted in Area 51 by a special military top secret agency.
If your 'rhoid hurts, have it removed. To the best of my knowledge no one has ever had phantom hemorrhoid pain.

I had a hemorroid once, but she dumped me after awhile.

What's so funny 'bout poop, love, and understanding?

Is this your birthday GGG? If so, happy birthday.

Hopefully Ms. Jackson takes this advice, and has a happier "end".

Aw, thanks!

It was GoGirlie's 13th birthday party Saturday.

MY birthday, however, is NEXT week, as it happens.

Appropriate gifts can be sent via my office.

You were eating birthday cake and looking at/reading about POOP at the same time? You are a strange one; I did enjoy the pun as well.

I usually eat sourdough toast while poorusing PR, but the cake was there...

healthy 1 (1427) -- 11.24.2006

Ok, happy birthday to you and Go Girlie.

I eat while while I am on PR too. Hey if we didn't eat, their would be no poop to report, hence no PR.

Before you get the operation, stock up on the meds. They go great with a couple of beers.

Jaws needs a pile of moose pellets. They're the right size to be periods.

Organicas Colon Cleanse beats crap out of Dr Natura Colonix (not verified) -- 11.22.2007

Hemorrhoids are a pain! But probiotics in Organicas Colon Cleanse @ www.mdNatura.com seems to help. The Dr Natura Colonix loves when you poop money into their cuffers so they insist you buy an extra $88 DrNatura Toxinout just get the probiotics. I shit you not! I'll guess I will stick with Organicas colon Cleanse my physician recommended.
