New to hemmoroids

Posted by spade976 @spade976, Sep 5 9:53am

I just developed an internal hemmoroid. It clearly came from constipation and straining with me. From my research it seems like it’s still grade 1. Nothing is protruding, there is no blood. It does feel like the Last Of Us Fungi is trying to escape my ass though. My question is can this actually get worse from here? Do people usually drop in grade? Does internal ever naturally heal itself or am I looking at bands? I have all the research about fiber and getting off the toilet as fast as possible and all the meds. Any tips, experience or suggestions would be great. I know controlling stress is also probably paramount but this is really making my job life unbearable. Thx.

@spade976 - I am also sitting for work for many hours per day, and I could see how that would prompt a flareup in hemorrhoids. My only experience with hemorrhoids was around pregnancy, and sitz baths were soothing to me.

How are you doing today?

I think better finally. Seems things are finally moving in a positive direction. Starting to realize most of the terror is my own brain and anxiety.

I have been having episodes where I bleed through my undies and have been referred to a surgeon that does a mitigating procedure in the office. Has anyone had this done? Pros or cons?

Hi, @cjval52 - sorry to hear about the bleeding. Glad you are getting medical care. About your potential procedure, we do not yet have a discussion on hemorrhoidectomy (I'm assuming that is the procedure you're referencing, but please advise if that's incorrect). However, it would be great to have one for others like you.

What I'd suggest would be for you to start a new discussion in the Digestive Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/digestive-gastrointestinal-problems/on hemorrhoidectomy. On the Digestive Health home page, below the blue box to the left side, you will see "Start a new discussion."
