How do you get rid of hemroids? im 13 and i just went to the doctor and she says i have a small one. do they ever go away? do guys care if u have them? thanks
Up your fiber intake. You can buy products such as Benefiber, Metamucil, and ColonPure (from GNC) to help you get more fiber if you're not getting enough from fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Do NOT take laxatives for this though as diarrhea can upset the hemorrhoid further.
Make sure to drink your 8 glasses of water a day to keep hydrated.
Do not push as hard when you go to the bathroom. Pushing hard from constipation and lack of fiber is one of the main causes.
Try not to "hold it in" any longer than absolutely necessary. Go when your body says to.
Soak in a tub of warm water for about 10 - 15 minutes each day.
Many websites have suggested wiping after you poo with flushable wipes. There are many different kinds like the Kleenex Cottonelle, Charmin Fresh Mates, and Equate brand from Wal-Mart. These websites say it helps to keep the area clean and soothes it a bit.
Here is a little more information about hemorrhoids and it also has some tips to help relieve the pain (if you are experiencing any) in the meantime:
There are creams (such as Preparation H) and wipes (such as Tucks Medicated Pads) you can buy for such a thing but personally I'd go see a doctor before doing anything like that just for confirmation. Most hemorrhoids go away in a few days so it's probably best you get checked out by a professional.
If left untreated, hemorrhoids may sometimes develop into a serious and dangerous condition that requires surgery for treatment. An internal hemorrhoid can become prolapsed where the inflamed vein extends outside of the anus. Usually this vein can be gently pushed back up inside the anus but there is the possibility that it will become further swollen and become entrapped. Once the vein is entrapped, the blood supply may get cut off and the vein will die, often becoming infected. Once infection sets in, it is possible that it will spread through out the entire body and cause dangerous illness.
Ask your doctor about further care. She should have explained some of this better to you so that you knew how not to repeat this again. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]

The best thing I can advise you to do is get som cream call GERMALOIDS,,,,,, it shrinks the membrane... it's what supermodels like Kate Moss and Alicia Silverstone ise to reduce the bags under their eyes..... other than that theres nothin you can do hun.... they will go away on their own.........

A hemorrhoid cream such as Preparation H will help you deal with the sympoms so it can heal. Keep the area clean and dry. Try not to touch the area more than necessarily and don't rub it. If the hemorrhoids are from straining due to constipation, try eating a high-fiber and drinking plenty of fluids. It'll help regulate your bowels and prevent consipation. If the hemorrhoids are from diarrhea, try one of the over the counter remedies for diarrhea.
Yes, hemorrhoids will shrink and disappear over time.

MHScutie87 answered Friday July 22 2005, 7:59 pm: Hey I did some research for you. You can get rid of the minor ones at home. Take 3 10 minute baths a day in clean, warm water. Afterwards, apply a cream that you can get at any conveinent store. But, if it doesn't get better in 1-2 weeks, I would suggest going to see a doctor.
And yes, of course, they will go away. Do guys care about them? Um, I wouldn't specifically mention that you have one lol. If you are sexually active, then I suppose they would care. I wouldn't suggest having any kind of sexual intercourse though while you do have a hemorhoid (sp?). It just seems weird to me, but do whatever makes you happy. =P
DrJenny answered Friday July 22 2005, 7:53 pm: Haemorroides are not common in a person of your age. Are you overweight and/or suffer from constipation?
They are easily treatable by various methods, however, if you genuinely suffer from them, the least of your problems would be what "guy's" think about them. You are far too young.
However, if you are foolish enough to dabble with sex at your age, then YES. They would be silly enough to care about them. [ DrJenny's advice column | Ask DrJenny A Question ]
