Hemorrhoids

If your only concern is the bleeding, and it’s as little as it sounds like, then it’s not an urgent matter (I.e. another weekend shouldn’t be a problem). The best thing to do for most hemorrhoids is nothing, other than trying to eliminate or reduce the straining.

My surgeon recommended Tucks or a hemorrhoid cream when I had this happen.  For me it lasted a day each time and then went away.  If it continued, he would have seen me.

But the outside doesn’t hurt and no indication of external hemmies. I can’t feel any internal ones either. Does that make a difference? I’ve had horrible ones before so I do know what they look and feel like. 

Most simple hemorrhoid treatments are focused on pain and itching. If you’re not having those symptoms then you don’t need to treat them.

I’m so thankful for this post. I understand what you are going through. I’ve been having issues with “tightness” in the columnar “cuff” area of the jpouch & cant seem to get food  (mainly roughage like cucumbers/ even cooked veggies) to pass & I have to strain & push to pass stool (TMI but little stool passes through) then I get the BB’s (butt burns) due to some slight bile seepage and I’m just uncomfortable & the tightness & throbbing I feel like could be pouchitis. I’m very gaseous & jouch is gurgling a ton (gas x seems to help- my primary care suggested) I fasted yesterday most of the day (sometimes it’s as if no food helps) & had a Greek yogurt smoothie with a half banana & 1/4 cup frozen blueberries & it seemed to ease my issue for the day but I tried to eat a little cooked/ steamed  veggies last evening & tonight  only to have the throbbing & straining issue again.  I’m considering always blending my vegetables in a smoothie and just eating proteins eggs chicken fish red meat. I do know that there are times I can eat anything (lower portions) relatively speaking  (except nuts & popcorn- they’re cause “cuff” red blood bleeding so I avoid those) I attached a jouch diagram to show where the tightness is also I’m not the best at portion sizes but less portions seems to work better & eating every 4ish hours to allow the prior meal to digest.
