DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have been having a lot of trouble with hemorrhoids. Several years ago, I had them tied, but when I took a trip to India, I really got in trouble.

Surgery is certainly not the only option for hemorrhoids! There are plenty of over the counter remedies which are effective and that provide relief for the problem – useful if you are travelling to places. It is amazing how a change of diet can affect you though, and there is nothing in this world that irritates the problem worse than changing from a no-spices diet to a very spicy one.  I know, personally, that if you travel to a country with spicy foods, the best thing you can take with you is some soothing suppositories…

Thrombosed hemorrhoids are located externally and often times they have blood cloths. These kinds of hemorrhoids are usually painful and can give you discomfort and can disappear after a couple of weeks. And since it is not life threatening, there is less anxiety.

I am really pleased to hear that they can disappear again – that is a huge relief, I thought I would have them for good. It’s not very good for one’s ego – having a thrombosed hemorrhoid. It was embarrassing actually. My partner was great though – he just accepts that if you get them, you get them, and has encouraged me to change my diet.  Since I accepted them as uncomfortable but ‘normal’,  I am more able to cope by eating better and drinking more. It would still be nice if they went away though.

The easiest treatment for hemorrhoids seems to be to not get ‘em in the first place! Only – by the time you learn about it – it’s too late anyway. Sadly. Of all the treatments of hemorrhoids that I have come across, the easiest one seems to be to improve your diet by eating more fruit ad veg and to drink a lot more liquids, and at the same time – to take something like Venepro. Easy, and simple, and supposed to do the trick. They are just drops that you swallow in water. I haven’t got around to trying them yet, but I suppose I should sometime.

Oh My Word!  I didn’t realise that sitting reading on the toilet could do THAT to you! I always read on the toilet. OMG! Do you suppose this is the reason why I have such a hemorrhoid problem? All this time I thought it was because I had a bad diet, but lately I have been improving my diet and still the problem hasn’t gone away. So. If sitting down to do it and staying too long is causing the problem, then I suppose there must go my reading time too. It’s the only time I get away from the kids too.

Many people forget that there’s a soft side to roughage in the diet. When we think about fiber, bowls of bran cereal come to mind, along with whole wheat bread, dense, grainy muffins and assorted edible sticks and twigs.

Well, TBH, that’s what I though the word ‘roughage’ meant. I was under the impression that roughage consisted of the bits in the food which stayed more or less whole all the way through the system. I  also thought that because of the way the stomach and the intestines work (i.e. those natural contraction movements that they have) the larger pieces of whole roughage made it possible for the contractions to push it all along the inside of the gut. I suppose if it were all hard, we’d all have a terrible problem wouldn’t we?
