male only A Pain In The Ass... Literally

[IAmJacksLapBand 5]

I searched the forums and only saw threads about Constipation. I am guessing my recent vacation had caused me some problems because I replaced Water with soda/alcohol and Fiber with sugar in a splurge. I haven't gained weight but definitely messed up the digestion pipes.

Due to the lack of bathroom visits and the strain I have developed a very painful, large, external hemmorhoid. PrepH makes it feel better but I have had it for about 2 weeks and it is not shrinking . I am to the point that I do not want to use the restroom because it hurts.

Any other home remedies I can try as I do not want to visit the doctor for this issue if I do not have too? Or is this still within the normal timeframe for the ailment to heal on its own.

oh, you are like me. That was the harmful effects of soft drinks, I think. I had to stop taking it for a long time because it made me lose feeling for food.< /p>

OUCH!!!:eek::crying::eek:

I am sorry to hear this. I recently went under the knife as well. Problem gone. Good luck and go to your doctors, they are used to it.
