Hello doctor,
I am 27 years old and it has been four years since I have had hemorrhoid and a year later I could not even sit for five seconds.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am sorry for the problems you are having with hemorrhoids. They are really fastidious. But, in your case, they ended to cause you problems with sitting now. So, this makes me think they are huge. As this has been going on for four years now, I think it is time you should see a proctologist (surgeon specialized in hemorrhoids). I think you need surgical treatment. Keep good local hygiene. Can sit on warm water for 15 minutes (also called sitz baths) several times a day especially after having a bowel movement. Apply hemorrhoid cream (Prep H: Phenylephrine) locally several times a day, especially after having a bowel movement. Take plenty of fiber, water, and laxatives to prevent constipation (ease bowel movement). Can apply aloe-vera directly to hemorrhoids. However, I still think you should get further checked by a proctologist. Thank you and take care. Regards.
