| - Note - I'm not a doctor, any advice is from a lay men - take it at your own risk.
If you have 'roids, you need to increase your fiber intake period. You might get rid of your 'roids only for them to come back within months if you don't make a dietary change. Eat more fruits and especially more vegetable!
1st of all - for immediate and possibly permanent hemorrhoid help: Apply vick's vapor rub (or any sort of generic menthol ointment typically used for decongestion on the chest). It will tingle slightly for a few minutes, but within minutes, it will be completely soothed. After using this for only 1 day, my 'roids went down dramatically and after several days they were gone completely. Reapply as often as you use the toilet - be sure to clean the area gently in between with toilet paper or wet wipe. Definitely carry some in your purse/pocket/car, wherever. Another great buy that you can use instead of Vick's vapor rub is Rawleigh's medicated ointment (google it). You apply it the same way, but it speeds up the healing process even quicker. This will cure your roids, I'm not joking! Try it, you will see, then tell everyone you know b/c hemorrhoids suck and this cure should be more well known/wide spread. :)
2nd help (especially if you've been using prep H or other 'roid remedies that may have caused fungal growth and/or yeast infections: Clean the area with a wet wipe or a paper towel and water. Next, use a hair dryer to dry the area. Apply an anti fungal foot powder such as Zeasorb (for athletes foot). Repeat as needed. This will also help (but not nearly as well or as quickly as the menthol decongestion ointment mentioned above). Also, try taking a daily probiotic or eat yogurt daily to keep your hemorrhoids from flaring up.
BEWARE - Many hemorrhoid creams, after several days of use, can cause fungus & inflammation. I had hemorrhoid for years and after a really bad flare up, I started using Preparation H. I believe because my Doctor told me!) that the Prep H actually caused my hemorrhoids to get worse and become inflamed to the point of misery. However, after I used the tips Dr. Thomas gave me (hairdryer & anti fungal powder - I saw almost immediate relief, and to be honest, I probably didn't need surgery but I already scheduled it so I followed through.)
My review of Laser Hemorrhoid Center: I am so impressed with the Dr. Peter Thomas, the entire nursing staff, the technology, and facility.
From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and unembarrassed about my hemorrhoids. Dr. Peter Thomas is AWESOME!!! He has a kind trusting face and he is very professional and has been doing this for a long time, over 4,000 successful hemorrhoid laser surgeries, he instilled total confidence in me right away. From the first appointment, he gave me instructions that dramatically and almost immediately relieved my discomfort until he could perform surgery about 6 days later.
When I went in for surgery his staff treated me with love right off the bat and made me feel very comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. The anesthesiologist especially has AWESOME bed side manners just as the nurses did. As I went in for surgery it was very quick process: I remember the anesthesiologist was saying something sweet and rubbing my arm, next thing you know I'm waking up to a sweet nurse saying "Tracy, Tracy, wake up, you can go home now". I couldn't believe I already had the surgery done. What a very easy and painless process. I wish I had known this was available sooner, I've been suffering for a while now.
I think what helped is that I followed his instructions before and after surgery to a T and so far I have had zero discomfort and I feel totally normal and totally relieve and overjoyed that I found this place. I hope that other people suffering with hemorrhoids will take the time to look into this. Laser surgery is comparatively cheap, totally worth it 100 times over, covered by insurance, fast, and it works!
Thank you to the staff of Laser Hemorrhoid Center, you guys are AWESOME!!!!!
~1 year later follow up review: I got hemorrhoids again with a couple months of surgery, but I've been using a hairdryer and anti fungal powder and usually within a day or 2, they go away or reduce to the point where they don't bother me at all. So even know they've reocurred, I still think Dr. Thomas was worth it, if nothing more than for the hair dryer and anti fungal powder tip. I don't believe my hemorrhoids will ever be so out of control painful that I'll need surgery again.
