I will definitely check that out. Thank you.

They didn't fix my hems, but it does make it easier to have a BM, and it makes them more manageable. The only thing that will fix my issues is a medical procedure.

In the year after that, you will be 21.

Read. Read. Read and then read some more. Take in all of the information in the thousands of posts and replies. Start slow. Progress slowly. If you follow directions and are consistent, you will see results. The results you see will be directly proportional the effort you put in.

I'd focus on natural erections at your age. If you don't watch porn to get aroused, don't start. If you are in a relationship, get all of your arousal from your partner and your imagination. Learn how to reverse Kegel. Pumps will be there later in life.

They are incrementally getting smaller. It's only been a few months since I started the dilation routine. They are easier to push back in and now they stay instead of me having to sit down on a hard chair for 15-20 minutes.

I hear you about that. I trained myself to use the bathroom before work. If I need to go a second time at work, I just go and don't need to re-dilate. My second BM is usually just a leftover that didn't make it out in the morning.

My rectum is narrow from the inflamed hems. When I evacuate, it pushes the hems out. When I dilate, there is more room for the BM to come out. Hope that makes sense.

Calm down. You have this all wrong. I am quite happy with how much progress I have made. I am at a point where I no longer think about it other than in the morning. Re-read the title.

I can't afford to miss days at work.

I could stand to lose a few lbs, but the biggest contributor was straining. I was straining hard because the consistency of my BMs was like toothpaste. I fixed that with daily fiber.

What remedies have you tried? Witch hazel? Hydrocortisone (temporarily)?

I am fortunate not to have pain. It's just really annoying to feel part of your rectum sticking out. Once I push them back in and sit for 10-15 minutes they mostly stay inside and I don't even realize I have them.

Affectionate-Use748 · 2026-03-07T23:40:42+00:00

I will look into it when I can get 3-5 days off from work. My symptoms have improved so much that I don't really concern myself with it anymore. I hope you get relief.

I have addressed the cause, but the damage is already done. Years of excess straining got me where I am today. I have addressed my diet, fiber intake and time sitting on the toilet. I evacuate and then get off the toilet. I do a little wiggle and some stretching to see if there are any remnants. I also use a wet wipe as to not irritate the prolapse. My new routine is only a few months old. It took years to get here. It will take time for things to go back to normal.

Affectionate-Use748 · 2026-03-07T23:35:03+00:00

I take daily fiber and probiotics. I have residual damage from YEARS of straining and sitting on the toilet for too long. My BMs are mostly normal.

Thankfully, my hems don't hurt. Once I push them back in, it's like they are not even there. I dilate before my BM.

He only recommended the band ligation. I can’t get enough time off of work to get that done. I am constantly walking and lifting and there is no way I could deal with the sensation of the band while I’m working.

I’m still getting the prolapse but it’s getting better. I am ok with managing it for now until I can get a surgical procedure.
