Hemorrhoids Sitz Bath
Is it time for surgery?
I have been dealing with hemorrhoids for over a year, on and off. Recently I went back to my gastroenterologist, who gave me a prescription, which worked! Unfortunately, quite a few weeks later, they’re back. I have been really trying to aim for 20-25 grams of fiber a day, I should probably exercise and drink more water…but anyways…to make a long story short, my doctor said if they came back that I should call and she would refer me to a colorectal surgeon. Im wondering, would it be better if i just treated the hemorrhoids myself (sitz bath, back on my diet, exercise more water etc) or should I bite the bullet and get the surgery? It would not be normal surgery, I would have to go to a specialist because of where they are located. I am just worried if i have the surgery, they may come back…i just want to get rid of them. I’m 22 for god sakes! I shouldnt have to deal with this *sigh* help me please!
Yes, also with a surgery hemorrhoids may come back, actually they like to return very, very much.
High fiber diet is good and helps to keep regular and soft bowel movement. But constipation not necessary is the cause of your hemorrhoids. You aren’t mentioning at all if you discussed this point with your doctor.
Beside constipation, they are several other causes of hemorrhoids like: significant overweight, pregnancy, overeating, prolonged sitting or standing can also contribute to development of hemorrhoids due to bad blood circulation. Other reasons are:
acid/alkaline imbalance, fatigue liver, Vitamin B-6 deficiency.
Unless you treat the cause of hemorrhoids any treatment option you decide to make can only be temporary solution. Of course also by temporary solutions depends on how long does it last, how much time you can be “hemorrhoids free” before they return.
Personally, I wouldn’t opt for a surgery as long as I have other treatment options available, but whatever treatment you’ll decide to take, find out what is causing your hemorrhoids and treat also this.
