Can External hemorrhoids go away on their own? Does treatment matter?

Man! You seem like the kinda guy that literally makes the world a better place! Thanks for that!

Can I just say you’re so sweet because this issue is extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing so thank you!

I'm drinking 2 cups of water first thing in the morning and applying Triple Antibiotic Ointment. So far, less pain.

I wish all doctors are like you ...

Thank you my “friendly proctologist”. I look forward to all your information. And I wish you success on your channel. It’s a journey 🙂 and so much of what you give out is a crossover of MD and therapist…. Anyway, big thank you and keep going🍀🎉🍷

MY experience: 1. banded removal is basically painless and effective . 2. Use your stomach muscles (pull in your stomach) and change angles til you sense bowel movement, rather than "push". This takes weeks of listening to your body ( and strengthening your stomach muscles) while not pushing, to develop. You will have to push, but only mildly, and less so the more you develop the technique. Self taught and self created, so take it for what it's worth.

I’ve had them since I was pregnant in 1995! Unless you have surgery, they never completely go away. It helps to stay hydrated, use witch hazel and have a sitz bath routine. The reason I never had them surgically removed is because my husband had his removed and he had a very painful recovery. That surgery left unwanted side effects, like having to stay near a bathroom.

I had hemorrhoid in late February and March and now they are gone like if I never had them🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Some of the worst pain ever. And I had two spinal fusion.

Applying protesedyl hydrocortisone 3 times a day for a maximum of 7 days or retinol cream 3 times a day for 7 days may make the haemorrhoid shrink faster

Getting old freaking sucks three months away from 40 and I’m freaking falling apart

Not sure if someone has this similar experience but ima share anyways just in case. 26 yr old male on the overweight side but still active (i hoop a lot). Had a bump not in or around but down the line of my anus from sitting on the toilet and straining too much. It eventually exploded and I was spot bleeding for weeks. Used prep H wipes, ointment , and eventually bleeding stopped. Switched up my diet too to more fiber and that helped the process go along smooth too. Longest 3-4 weeks of my life but I’m saying this for someone who needs to hear it…. EAT HEALTHIER AND STOP SITTING AND STRAINING ON THE TOILET FOR SO LONG TRUST ME 😂😂 hope this helps!

I got hemorrhoids when I was pregnant, suffered with them for over 40 years.

Definitely listen to him! I am 3 months in with a flare up and the most excruciating pain ever. Tried it all but I am at the point of medical intervention. ! Now I’m off to see a doctor about Radio frequency ablation as I want to avoid surgery.

Been dealing with external and internal for 6 months now, there was a point where it was so bad I couldn't sleep and stand. I'm now feeling so much better and it does not flare up anymore if you look after it. Just a tips to those who were is my spot, is to take fibre supplement (metamucil), can either take their recommended daily dose or 1 dose (1 tablespoon) like me daily, it really makes everything go smooth. Also if you incorporate vegetables (high in fibre, vitamin C, antioxidant etc..) it actually helps prevent these flare up by strengthen the blood vessels that are prone to swell.

I noted the remark about placebo effect from some creams. That may be true. But, I had my first flare up of external hemorrhoids about 10 days ago (at 68 yo) and decided to manage them on my own. I shifted from sit commode to squat commode since this posture helps faster bowel movement (no constipation in my case, no bleeding). I started a bran cereal (which I used to have regularly until no supply recently (I live in Dhaka Bangladesh where supply chain has been hampered by the war in Ukraine and the fluctuating dollar exchange rate.) I applied hydrocortisone 1% ointment at night and Vaseline with Aloe Vera in the morning). I increased my water intake and started more fruits (oranges, apples). I applied ice pack to the anal area (10-15 minutes) since warm water sitz bath did not have positive effect. Within a few days the rhoids shrank and dried leaving skin tags. These dried up enough to fall off when cleaning with baby wipes and when showering. Having resolved this episode I can’t agree more with the doctor here. Like the saying goes: An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Thanks, Dr., for your informative and helpful videos.

Ive dealt with these buggers for a long time, i can safely say that the best way i found to treat them and make them better was more fibre, no alcohol, no caffein, exercise and plenty of water

Explained well in a friendly manner i feel better already.!
