60yr old female: red blood on stool + t paper. hemorrhoid flare-up. proctosedyl treatment no more blood. Worry
stool test came back positive for blood twice, but during this time she had inflammed hemorrhoids. After the suppository treatment, she no longer has any pain or straining during bowel movement and all visible signs of red blood on the stool and toilet paper have disappeared. So how likely is this to be something more serious like colorectal cancer? She is now due to repeat the stool test again
Its Very possible Just as anything is possible. At 60 yrs old I’d be suprised if she hasnt gone to see a doctor yet. You would be suprised how many people there are out there Who dont know straining is bad. Means something is wrong. Try some colon blast before you get ass cancer.

Does anyone know a natural treatment for hemorrhoids or a good cream?
I just got hemorrhoids 6 months ago and now even if a have a good diet every time they appear is very painful and they last 5 or 6 days.
Hi,
Just a bit of info for you…
I have a lot of patients who eat good diets, but not necessarily APPROPRIATE diets there is a difference – everyone is different.
The blood vessels from the intestines to the liver are known as the Portal System, and haemorrhoids are a sign that this system is over burdened and inflammed. You really need to consult someone who knows a lot about diet to get a diet that is appropriate for you.
But now that you have haemorrhoids you have a best friend. Let me explain – the only time haemorrhoids will give you any trouble is when there is something wrong with your digestion and general health. They are what is known as a ‘flagging disease’. Never get them operated on! Once you have them under control, they are an excelllent way of monitoring your general health and will be little bother to you.
Hope this is a little encouragement for you.
Is there another Options than Hemorrhoids Surgery? for hemorrhoids treatment?
i am scared of surgery, but i am really in pain… What should i do?
I am Dr. Nelson. Needing surgery for anything can be scary, especially if you aren’t informed about all of your options, what to expect, and exactly what will be done. Hemorrhoid surgery is no exception.
Hemorrhoids are usually not serious enough to require surgery if taken care of right away. But if they are not taken care of, if hemorrhoid treatments don’t work, if they are a recurring problem, or if they are extremely painful, bleeding, thrombosed, prolapsed, or strangulated, then they may require hemorrhoid surgery.
Traditional hemorrhoid surgery (also called Hemorrhoidectomy) consists of removing the affected hemorrhoid veins and any surrounding tissue that may also have become inflamed and sore due to having hemorrhoids. The veins affected by serious hemorrhoid problems can be stretched, out of shape, and possibly bleeding. Removing them is sometimes the best option if there has been recurring problems, a lot of bleeding, or a strangulated hemorrhoid.
What to Expect
Hemorrhoid surgery may require staying in the hospital for at least one night. There are occasions when it can be done on an outpatient basis, however, and you can be allowed to go home later in the same day.
When you are being prepared for hemorrhoid surgery, you might have to follow a particular diet, one that will make your stools soft and possibly even require a stool softener or laxative to help rid your colon and lower intestines of fecal matter. This will make contamination during surgery less of a risk. You may also be given an enema to make sure that there is nothing remaining in there during the surgery.
Using an instrument called an anoscope to see the hemorrhoid and the surrounding area, the surgeon will tie off the vein that supplies blood to the hemorrhoid and remove the hemorrhoid as well as some of the tissue around it.
After having the surgery, you can expect some pain and discomfort and also to be monitored closely to make sure you are healing well. You may be given painkillers as well as a laxative to help you with your bowel movements while the area heals. You will be monitored for bleeding, pain, and drainage of fluid, asked if there is any throbbing or muscle spasms in your rectal area, and checked for fever and constipation. You can expect recovery time to be anywhere from two to three weeks.
While hemorrhoid surgery may be considered the most effective answer to getting rid of hemorrhoids and the best option for avoiding a recurrence of hemorrhoid problems, it is not the only answer to treating severe hemorrhoids. Ask your doctor if he or she considers you a candidate for a less invasive hemorrhoid treatment that might take care of the problem with less pain and recovery time.
Hemorrhoid surgery may be the best choice for you, but checking into the other options will give you a clear mind about taking the steps you need to hopefully be free of hemorrhoids for good. Talking to your doctor should give you all the information you will need to decide if hemorrhoid surgery is for you.

Hemorrhoid tag – treatment?
I asked my gyno about a hemorrhoid tag that i’ve had for a year, and she told me that it won’t go away on its own and they only way to get rid of it is surgery. Is this true? It’s not painful, but I do feel self-conscious about it.
There are several different treatment options available for hemorrhoid tags or swellings, and not all of them are surgical.
First, you can try some things yourself – probiotic foods (like yogurt), stool softener (NOT laxative), switch to moist wipes (unscented baby wipes) instead of toilet paper, increase fiber, increase how much water you drink, sitz baths with epsom salts. Avoid using aspirin for a painkiller. If these simple measures don’t help, the next step is to consult a doctor about other options. Don’t use steroid creams or pads/wipes without speaking to your doctor – things like cortisone can weaken the skin and make the hemorrhoid worse.
Infrared coagulation, often mistakenly called "laser" treatment, is a non-surgical procedure. Basically, a doctor inserts a small probe next to the base of the hemorrhoid tissue that is inflamed and infrared light is used to form a clot. The clot cuts bloodflow to the swelling, and it shrinks back down. Advantages are that it is relatively comfortable (performed in-office, no anaesthesia as it is above the pain nerves – you would just feel some pressure) and has very little recovery time or activity limitations. Disadvantages are that it usually requires somewhere between 5 to 10 treatments 3 to 5 weeks apart, and you may or may not see improvement with the first 1 or 2 treatments. It is also more effective in some cases when paired with drug therapy or probiotic use to normalize the gut. It does not work well for people who are on blood thinners.
Rubberband (or Baron) Ligation is slightly more uncomfortable than the infrared coagulation, and about as effective. Advantages are that it generally requires only 1 or 2 treatment sessions, and is more widely available. It works basically by putting a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid tissue and waiting for it to fall off. Anaesthesia is sometimes used, but not always.
Hemorrhoidectomy is the surgery your doctor mentioned. It has about a 2 week recovery time, and does require anaesthesia.
What are the risks of infrared coagulation treatment for hemorrhoids?
How effective are they??? I am considering this treatment. Should I?
The choice of treatment depends on the size of the hemorrhoid. The success of the treatment depends on a variety of factors, including which treatment is used and whether contributing factors (such as constipation) can be changed.
- Small internal hemorrhoids are often successfully treated with coagulation therapy. Large hemorrhoids are more likely to be treated with rubber band ligation.
- One large study comparing infrared photocoagulation therapy, rubber band ligation, and injection sclerotherapy showed that infrared photocoagulation caused fewer and less serious complications.
How to Solve External Hemorrhoid Problems?
I need help to Solve my External Hemorrhoid Problems.
What is the best hemorrhoid extrenal treatment?
Hi, i am Lenord. Having hemorrhoids is no picnic and can actually cause a lot of problems. With the ability to range from mild irritation to something so severe that surgery is required, hemorrhoids are nothing you should ignore.
External hemorrhoids are no less serious than internal hemorrhoids. As a matter of fact, they can cause more pain and itching than their internal counterparts might cause. There are times that external hemorrhoids can become strangulated, meaning they can get caught inside the anus and possibly end up with a blood clot.
There is also the chance that an external hemorrhoid might become thrombosed. This happens when an external hemorrhoid swells and becomes severely inflamed to the point of being extremely painful and causing extra discomfort.
Both strangulated and thrombosed external hemorrhoids may require surgery to correct. There are many types of surgery for hemorrhoids, and the length of time required to recover as well as the pain and discomfort while recovering varies with each different type of treatment.
External hemorrhoids can be caused by many things, including pregnancy and childbirth, obesity, coughing extremely hard, liver disease, and straining to have a hard bowel movement. No matter what caused your hemorrhoids, you should do everything you can to treat them before they become a real problem.
When external hemorrhoid problems first begin, you may not even know what the problem is. Pain, itching, and problems going to the bathroom are all abnormal, but with the stigma of hemorrhoids, there is little chance that you will want to admit you have them to anyone, even yourself.
External hemorrhoids are easy to recognize. The veins at the opening of the anal canal become inflamed and swollen, making you feel like there is something there that doesn’t belong. Being constipated, having diarrhea, and straining when going to the bathroom or even coughing may hurt and make the swelling worse.
One of the worst things you might experience with external hemorrhoids is possibly having a blood vessel break. If this happens, there will be a lot of bleeding and pain, and it will probably require surgery to repair. When you have hemorrhoids, it is very important to take care of them right away. Avoiding problems may be as simple as using a hemorrhoid cream or taking a warm bath a couple of times a day.
The easiest way to take care of hemorrhoids is to add plenty of fiber and water to your diet. Adding fiber will help you have easier to pass bowel movements, making the strain on your rectum less and helping the hemorrhoids to heal.
External hemorrhoids may be painful and have a chance of becoming a bigger problem if left untreated. You can choose to help heal them now or ignore them and take a chance at ending up with external hemorrhoid problems that may be more difficult to control. Choosing to help them go away now means that there will be less of a chance for future problems to develop.

is there anyway you can get rid of a hemorrhoid without having to go to doctors or get treatment?
did u read the question ? lol
Dont get mad this is true I beleive it.Cayenne pepper capsules taken on a full stomach help some people avoid surgery.The name of the book is CURING WITH CAYENNE its by Sam Biser and Dr Richard Schulze. Its an older book but it makes alot of sense..He claims that hemorroids are caused by stagnant bloodflow in the anus which causes herniated veins.Cayenne is simply a really good suppliment to help heart and blood circulation and my family has been taking it for years.My Mother found out about it after she had a mini stroke in the supermarket.Now 30 years later she is still with us and so is cayenne pepper.
what is the best treatment for a minor hemorrhoid flare up?
There are many over the counter creams, such as Anusol HC, etc. Sometimes a gastroenterologist or proctologist can put a special rubber band around them so they will die from no circulation and drop off after a few days.
