I've been having intermittent constipation and diarrhea crises ever since I was a kid. Basically, I always exerted extreme force to evacuate or was burning my ass out with diarrhea. Lately (like, 5 months), I've been feeling some kind of nodule while cleaning my ass. It didn't hurt that much, but it did bother me, so I searched about it today and apparently it's hemorrhoids. It still go back inside by itself after a few days, but I didn't have that in the past. I'm basically a hikikomori, so I'm not physically active, although I'm not fat. I tried squatting and it really helped me to finish my diarrhea today, but I'm scared of going to the bathroom in the next days, what if there is a crap that can't go away without straining? How fucked up am I? How many months do I have before it's too much in a fucked up state?
Everyone gets hemorrhoids, you can get a cream for it from your physician but I personally just live with it.
I doubt you’ll have to deal with it for even a full month.Fix your diet. Drink more water and eat healthy amounts of fiber on a regular basis.Stop straining, too. Just makes it worse.Welcome to adulthood.
>>34912922Everyone? Still, you should do something about it when it pops up, I guess?>>34912933Yeah, I've been looking on getting a better diet lately.>Stop straining, too. Just makes it worse.Can I actually get it out without straining though? If I can't, can I just shrug it off and try again later even though I feel bloated as hell?
>>34912969>If I can't, can I just shrug it off and try again later even though I feel bloated as hell?If you have to keep straining and straining but nothing comes out, yeah. It sucks, but straining is what causes hemorrhoids to begin with.>Yeah, I've been looking on getting a better diet lately.It’s easy. Just try to eat at least some grains and vegetables every day.
>>34912896Hydrate more.Eat more fruits & vegetables.
>>34912896Eat lots of fiber. Ideally introduce your body to fiber gradually, if you eat tons cold turkey you'll shit bricks. I like taking metamucil when I'm feeling lazy, but I usually just eat lots of beans and other legumes.
>>34912933Checked and correct. Start eating whole foods, OP. Avoid processed food, you're probably sensitive to it. Learn to cook if you don't know how.
>>34912896Just sit in the bath with enough water to cover your asshole as hot as you can stand it. Sit in it for 20 minutes a few times a day until the swelling goes down. Witchhazel wipes and preparation h.Best cure is prevention, be real gentle when you wipe, don't stay in the toilet longer than you need to, don't strain to the point that you're pushing your asshole out of your body.
>>34912896It might be a diet thing. Descreasimg lactose and adding fat and protein to my diet helped me a lot.
Thanks to all the answers! I'll be trying all that.
>>34912969You shouldn't have to be doing more than relaxing and maybe bringing your knees up to relieve yourself. Try using a footstool to put yourself into a more natural squatting position, it's better for your body. The way we sit on toilets isn't natural and is part of why constipation can happen.
>>34912896The operation is a simple one, the discomfort lasts a day or two and the relief is permanent.
