Hello all, I've posted on both epilepsy and this subject as my autistic , 49 yr old nonverbal daughter, had sigmoidectomy years ago, long recovery, but having soft stools with Colace and Miralax, but I found "bump" when cleaning and PCP saw a internal large, red, hemorrhoid, couple external but is not recommending surgery but steroid cream for week, then good cleaning, her carehome( good 2:1 staff) has bidet to help rinse, she wears pull ups with pad as she was incontinent for awhile.. any suggestions to help with her discomfort as I want to avoid surgery, unless bleeding etc
Also found a cardiac issue recently so between gi, neurology, cardiology she's complex and nonverbal.. and 50 in January so menopause on top of it
But a sweet soul who just smiles thru it all.. I spent 49 days in hospital with her last year so trying to avoid procedures..
Thank you all

Hi @minajo - I moved your post here to this discussion where you could talk with others who've been discussing hemorrhoids. Hoping members here such as @asilyag @jennsdreamer @busylady @verol65 and others can advise on helping with your daughter's discomfort with the internal and external hemorrhoids. @jlharsh also may have some thoughts for you and your daughter.

As you mentioned daughter's cardiac issue is rhythm-related, you might follow the Mayo Clinic Connect Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/heart-rhythm-conditions/ and check out the discussions there.

How are you feeling about how the care home will take care of her with the hemorrhoids she has now?
