hemorrhoids

[screenman]

Well now they’ve started to bleed.

Mine used to do that often, Rocky's advice is very good also. My solution worked for me and has for others I know, but safety first is a great idea, my doctors never could figure out why Drapolene worked for me, but they did admit it was certainly not doing any harm.

I may know someone who had them. Apply the right cream daily and they will go. Will take a few weeks at least.

You were getting along fine then until you used the word "team"

Diet as well. A bowl of All Bran each morning keeps things, shall we say, moving. As a younger man I was thus afflicted. I had a treatment once, not surgery but some sort of injection where half hour after the treatment, I lost control of my legs!
Thankfully, and touch wood, the have been a long time gone. A veggie diet may have helped me but you cannot be sure.

Is this a man thing? Making your life hell, and now bleeding. What to do? What to do? I know, ask the internet!

Whatever condition ticks those two boxes, go see your GP

Then maybe come back here to discuss home and OTC remedies, but get a doctor to look at it first.

They don't mean asking random strangers for medical advice, they mean checking sites like this
When to seek medical advice
See your GP if you have persistent or severe symptoms of haemorrhoids. You should always get any rectal bleeding checked so your doctor can rule out more potentially serious causes.

which is what I said. The description of the OP is severe and he's bleeding, which is when I said it was time talk to a doctor. I bet the RCGPs agrees with me.

A friend of mine had their haemorrhoids sorted by an operation at the hospital, they had to sit on a rubber ring for a while after, but the problem was sorted permanently ..

After the online research mine is nowhere near as bad as Some of the horrific sights I’ve seen. I always eat branny foods plus fruit and veg. More water will probably help.

it does sort of contradict the message from 2 months earlier though
https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/doctors-gps-dr-google-patient-list/

personally I think wiseing up from the internet before taking any expert advice is a worthwhile move, having some knowledge on a subject helps in asking the right questions.[/QUOTE]

There is a huge difference between googling symptoms and looking at NHS choices - very loose reporting/headlining by the Telegraph.
