someone get all TMI about hemmorhoids in here pronto. my butt hurts.

EdithBouvierBeale

omg. I was constipated last week, and got a little too ambitious, and I am DYING.

I had these after the kids, but I forgot how fvcking bad!

everytime I poop it feels like im making myself a new butthole, and I want to cry.

and there is a little bleeding!

but they're internal- they're (or it) is no external evidence of this misery.

even walking makes it hurt a little right after pooping.

this is yucky poopy butt talk, and Im sorry- but OUCH!

help my butt.

Get to walgreens and get some Prep H. Don't suffer unneccesarily!

EdithBouvierBeale

I think I have some. I forgot about that...ok- you're right, jerm.

I'll go grease it up.

That's not a hemmmorhoid, it's an anal fissure.  Nothing you can do other than try your hardest not to get consipated- it needs to heal over time.  Don't ask me how I know!

EdithBouvierBeale

laura- really?? I assumed it was hemmorhoids- but you must be right- nothing has ever been on the outside, and the doc said i didn't have any after I delivered...but I figured she was wrong.

anal fissure!

goddamnit.

She is right on. More than likely fissures. I speak from experience. Don't get constipated. I just had butt surgery on labor day weekend. ( sphincterotomy) My modesty is now gone. And I have promised myself never ever to get constipated again. Metamucil is my friend. LOL!

Good Luck!

My dr. prescribed me something called ProctoFoam.  It was life changing.

Most women who think they have hemmorhoids actually have a fissure- its just that very few actually go to the doctor.  A fissure can be PAINFUL.  I am so tempted to give more details but I'm just going to stop myself.  You should see me after a few glasses of wine- I have educated all the neighborhood moms and even some of the dads.  Oops.

look- if you want to get graphic, but you don't want it punblic, pm me. I would like to hear anyone else's experience.

it is really painful, and then it ITCHES! and right now I swear it feels like it's got its own pulse!!

 

I don't need surgery, do I?

I can't face butt surgery. I already have nothing to be proud of body wise. butt surgery would put me over the edge.

I don't know how to pm you (obviously I rarely post) but just know that what you are going through is typical for fissures and it will get better if you can prevent future constipation.  Try swallowing a tablespoon of whole flax seed with ice cold water first thing in the morning about 30 min before you eat.  You'll be amazed at what that does.  Also, are you a coffee drinker?  That helps, too.

There are also different lotions and lubricants, but you need to go to the butt doctor to get those.  (my butt doctor was a father of a guy I went to high school with....I was sure the name change would throw him off, but I wasn't that lucky)  Don't be scared by the blood- that's just a symptom of what's going on.  (red blood=good, black=bad)  The pain and itchiness will get better as you heal.  If it's too much to bear, make an appt with a butt doctor who is not the father or mother of someone you once made out with.  Hope you feel better soon!

you are someone I can tell that I like.

will you stay?

would you like to have an alliance with me?

I know I have ass issues, but we decided those would go away right?

I have been more conscious of my water intake- which I think led to my er...backup.

thank you times A MILLION.

 

LauraMiller

I would love to be in your butt alliance, but I only pop in once in a while around here (and very rarely post).  I bet a few people would remember me because I was an almost-regular about 4 years ago or so.  I just don't have the time any more, but I can tell we would be friends.  

EdithBouvierBeale

I used to be brideofranken. Your SN looks a little familiar...

my butt feels like it is twitchy.

I am losing at life.

waaaaaaaaaaaah!

Welp....nothing like a good @ss story to make you forget about your own fissure......

My DH....being a typical male.....FAREAKED the eff out...like almost was in TEARS (this is a 320lb 6'5" man) when his @sh started bleeding one day after being constipated.....FAREAKED.

To the point that "THIS IS SERIOUS!  SOMETHING IS WRONG! I"M GOING TO THE ER RIGHT NOW!!!"

I talked him into just going to emergicare, and probably should have stopped him completely, but I just couldn't...he was REALLY worked up.

So he goes.

The front desk lady asks what he needs seen for, and he says "Do I have to say?"

Gets called back.

The nurse asks and he says "Can't I just tell the doctor?"

Doc comes in and he tells the doctor (THANK GOD IT was a male doctor!)

Doc told him to get some prep H and take some miralax.......never even checked his booty.

DH came home with his tail between his bleeding @ss and has never had that problem again...

SOOOOO---just be glad you are a level headed female who has others to discuss this with so when it happens, it isn't a freak out and trip to emergicare!

my new favorite word is ProtcoFoam. I feel like ProctoFoam is like, the world's panacea. Like it could solve the problems in Israel, bring world peace, etc.

anyway -- sitz bath. Make a few inches of bath water as hot as you can stand it, sink your butt in and sit. Repeat a few times a day. It's pretty simple and as much as the pain sucks at first, you do feel a lot better.

I have no advice. I am just laughing. At you and your butt.
