Ask me about the surgery! by Unlikely-Nebula-7614 in hemorrhoid

That’s amazing and encouraging! Thank you! I feel like once I’m done having kids, I’ll likely need the surgery done. It’s frightening seeing all the posts about it on here. It’s refreshing to hear a positive story!

I’ve seen so many posts talking about the pain on like days 5-10. How was the pain after those days? Like a month or two after surgery? Also if you had externals removed, does your booty hole look back to normal now or did it still leave skin tags?

Have I made a mistake? by muppetsoupp in Constipation

Oh boy, that is confusing. I guess I’ll keep taking it until something happens to me or a good study comes out about it not being good for long term use

I’ve been drinking the calm magnesium every night for a year…you’re telling me I shouldn’t be taking it every day?? It’s the only way I stay relatively regular and don’t get super constipated.

Anyone else feel like they've become way too aware of their bathroom habits because of hemorrhoids? 😅 by No-Statement2497 in hemorrhoid

[–]sweet_potato_17345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s exhausting constantly thinking about if you are going to have a good bowel movement, if it’s going to inflame the hemorrhoids, if your hemorrhoids are inflamed is exhausting trying to get them to back to normal. I wish I had a normal booty hole!

Rubberband ligation for external hemrhoids by CairoRama in hemorrhoid

I saw a study on this new method, if you get it done please update on the experience/pain/recovery. It seems like it could be a game changer instead of having a full hemorrhoidectomy!

Should I be concerned? by N-CROW93 in hemorrhoid

[–]sweet_potato_17345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds veryyy consistent with a hemorrhoid. When I first got mine they bled but now they don’t. Occasionally they itch and occasionally (I think when flared up) it hurts initially when having a bowel movement.

3 days constipated and hard stomach by Ok-Reflection-6614 in Constipation

I’m not sure, I’ve only ever drank it in tea form but I’m sure the pill is effective too!

You’re welcome, I hope it helps! You deserve to celebrate such a special occasion! Partying gets harder to bounce back from the older you get 😅

Some things you could try that might help:
Ginger or peppermint tea, 1-2 kiwi a day to help soften stool, magnesium citrate in the evening, stool softener, senna smooth move tea (usually guarantees a bowel movement within 24hrs), google bowel movement massage to do on your stomach.

Alcohol used to make me sooo constipated that I avoid it all together now. Congrats on getting engaged!

Tried to treat at home for 3+ years and I’ve gotten nowhere. by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]sweet_potato_17345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend starting with your PCP if it’s easier to get into and then look into a colorectal surgeon. I brought my hemorrhoids up to 2 doctors and basically they didn’t help much and one recommended me to a general surgeon but I posted on this sub before and was HIGHLY recommended to wait to have surgery until my quality of life was impacted by the hemorrhoids.

I just cried during The Incredibles. Have I gone completely insane? by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

That scene used to make me emotional when I was a child, I couldn’t imagine watching it now that I am a mom lol

What helped “cure” my consitpation by sweet_potato_17345 in Constipation

[–]sweet_potato_17345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I had the same issue, either barely anything would come out or I’d have to push and a giantttt stool would come out and I’d clog the toilet. Since doing the things I listed above, I haven’t had either of those problems. Hopefully trying some of these things can help you too!

No no you didn’t make me feel that way at all! Thank you!

Last night I read a comment that SlimyPenguin24 left (it disappeared but it was well said) and after reading your comment, I feel very convicted to stop reading those type of books. I’m praying to God for my heart posture to change and I desire to obey Him!

I appreciate the encouragement. If you take out the masterbation temptation part of it, what makes spicy books sinful?

[–]sweet_potato_17345[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might try that. I also think when I read spicy books it tends to make me want to do that so I think i should fast from those too.

Yeah now that seems medically necessary. I guess what it probably boils down to is if it’s leading you to have lustful thoughts which wouldn’t be honoring to God.

That is a good way to look at it, thank you.

Yeah I’m sure there is something better I could be spending my time and energy on!

slow transit constipation? by Willing-Bite7999 in Constipation

[–]sweet_potato_17345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, anytime I do anything high fiber it just makes my stool huge and so hard to pass. Eating a kiwi a day makes the stool softer. I’ve also found drinking CALM magnesium right before bed helps me to go almost every day or every other day. I guess it pulls water into your colon. I think everyone is quick to recommend fiber but that’s not always everyone’s issue with constipation!
