Phallic issues: part 2

[cherok]

Well I dont know what seems to be up with me and asstastic problems lately, but I was hoping I could turn to the people here for some advice, yet again.

**Not for the weak at heart.. or stomach**


Ocassionally after pinching a loaf (especially during periods of extreme bran intake, or constipation-like scenarios)I notice A little bulge being what I believe to be called the "sphynkter" (SP) more inflamed and further outside the anus than usual. I have never really thought much of it, since the discomfort usually subsdes after a few minutes, but I was wondering if this is an ordinary thing.

I had a case of the 'rhoids' a couple of years
back, and am not sure If this means a return or whether it is just an after effect. Please let me know.

Thx!

Hi cherok,

What you are experiencing are external hemorrhoids. If you've been pushing during the loaf expelling process before pinching...it would put pressure there since they are already engorged with blood and in a pressured state. The pressure from the outcoming loaf which may have been overdone would be harder than one that hasn't been in for so long absorbing all the water from the gut instead of "intake".

You may want to add some insoluable fibre...Citrucel (sp?) which will bulk but not absorb so much water from the gut.

You should have some nice springy loaves with a good airy texture that won't put more pressure on the rhoids as in the past.

If you continue with the aforementioned loaves...severe pushing during constipation can actually encourage a relapsed rectum. Yeeikes!! Imagine going to the emergency and explaining that one.

Keep 'em soft, I says!

Use hydrocortisone cream or Proctocetyl a few times a day around the swollen anal area and that should bring those nasties down a bit.
Sitz baths in warm water would work too.

So, that's all I gots to say about that. I suffer from the same problem on occasion.

Hi, yep, it seems that once you have them....you have them. The best way to deal with them is to make sure they don't get worse or to keep them from flaring. So, prevention seems to be the best way. There is surgery that can be done too if they're really bad or consistent.

I found a site that may give you the info you asked for. Why not do a search of the net for treatments, "cures" (I hate that word), or prevention for hemorrhoids.

I may even have to consider doing something about mine in the future....but for now, they're OK.

Hope yours get better soon.
