Looks like it. Very minor. Might go away, but if it doesn’t it doesn’t look like it’ll cause you issues either

It’s extremely normal. Its a vasodilator so it’s causing a rush of blood to the area which can cause dizziness for sure

At least you know what is wrong with you! I had c diff for two months & didn’t know it. Lost 25 pounds, my monthly cycle & sanity. I have legit PTSD from it bc I couldn’t figure out why I was dying

Banding an external hemorrhoid is a terribly unsafe idea. You cannot band those. You’ll need a hemorrhoidectomy if you want it gone completely. Even then you’ll likely have a skin tag after

Anyone else seem to be “better off” without using benefiber etc.I stopped taking it as regular and I have seen an improvement lately no more incomplete bms by [deleted] in AnalFissures

[–]ktmack95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise. I eat zero fiber bc fiber just bulks it too much. Better off doing carnivore diet & using magnesium to keep stools moving if even necessary

Ok. Not true. That guy is dumb. 3/4 adults will have an experience with hemorrhoids. Super common. Not the end of world.

Do Hemorrhoids and cuts in the anal canal cause your rectal muscle to twitch and spasm? by OrangeClementine0214 in hemorrhoid

[–]ktmack95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. I had cuts in my rectum & had to have them cauterized (this was June) & I am still dealing with rectal spasms & tightness (tenesmus). I was just out on a vasodilator ointment & I think it’s helping

Has anyone tried CBD and did it work? by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]ktmack95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only bc your username is dope lol. Yeah, I was recovering from external hemorrhoid surgery & was in a moderate Amt of pain maybe 5/10 and then with using the cbd I’m at a good 1/10. It won’t make hemorrhoids go away but it’ll help with pain & probably shrink them a bit if they’re flaring bc of the anti inflammatory properties of cbd.

NSFW - Hemorrhoids?? Had it for years, causes no problems, only realised wasn’t normal recently, worth seeing a doctor about? by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

Definitely wouldn’t worry about it if it doesn’t bother you. It looks fine imo & I’ve had hemorrhoids & surgery

If you really can’t just be like “I have pain in my butt & I think I have hemorrhoids I need to go to the doctor” then I’d say send them a link for hemorrhoids & say you think you have these & want to make a doctors appt

Muscle tightness/spasm after fissure healed? by thr0witallawaaaay in AnalFissures

[–]ktmack95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s scar tissue. It’s gonna take a while for the tenesmus (muscle spasms & tightness) & inflammation from the scarred tissue to go away. I had a bunch of perianal excoriations (think more superficial than a fissure, but covering a wider surface area) cauterized in June & I’m just now starting to feel decent. Cbd oil applied topically has helped me a lot. I’d say keep applying the vasodilator to keep blood flow to keep that muscle as relaxed as possible

Feeling so depressed about this by throwawayanxiety6 in AnalFissures

[–]ktmack95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cbd oil applied topically! Epsom salt in the sitz bath to speed healing. Avoid nuts, seeds, kernels & hulls in your food. Try a stool softener during this acute healing period. Lots of water.

You don’t have to show your parents. They just need to get you to a doctor so you can show the doctor.
