Anyone else suffer........... or just want a laugh.

Went through my 20s (young I know) suffering badly with these and then had a good few years off or very minor ones. A trip to Mexico seems to have triggered it again.Its gone down mostly but not fully.

Any recommendations for which treatment. Its an outy not an inny. had a brown cream before which helped a little but anything newer in recent years.

Forgive the terminology but this is a pharmacist's bread and butter. Go in when it's quiet, ask for a 'consultation', follow their advice.

Sounds like the recurrence was food/diet related with your travel - did you suffer an attack of the brown rain (or, alternately, block yourself up solid by eating a stload of red meat…)?

Did have what I thought was a spell of them a while back, sore tender bum hole, didn't bother with any pile cream, just used a bit of the kids nappy cream (Sudocrem) to help settle things down a bit. Thing that really helps me, and I won't go anywhere without some now, is the moist toilet tissue they sell in the supermarket for the final clean up smile

a) invest in some cosmocol/Movicol/CheapoBum or whatever the magic keep-yer-gut-moving stuff is currently rebadged as, it'll help things to heal up if you're not errr exerting effort 'at stool'.

b) travelling, carry a bottle of E45, wet the bog roll with a drop of it, instant wet wipes only cheaper and more portable.

I dont have them but when the afterburners have been lit or any other issue has occurred I find Fullers Earth is marvellous, a good slather of that on your hoop and though you feel a bit like you have followed through, a day later good as new !

I had a work colleague who didn't know he had one, just thought he had a spot there so tried and tried to squeeze it. I cried with laughter when he told me knowing how painful they can be!!

Do the following, eat fruit / veg more regularly. Soft stools are better than trying to st a rock.

Go buy Anusol suppositories and the cream as well. Get personal with yourself and finger a suppository up your hoop then apply the cream outside the ring piece.

Everytime you crap, repeat. Give it a week or so and petey pile with go back up. Longer than this and you'll need to check it with the doctor. He's going to finger you. Just a warning.

Shower twice daily, if not more. Your hoop is open and as such you'll stink.

Generally, don't strain to crap. Don't sit on the pan reading, and crap when you need to, don't hold it in.

There are permanent treatments for this issue, ranging from a surgeon tying elastic bands around them til the drop off, or lasering. Either way, you'll be on a table with your hole open. Try the above before the operation route. Do not try to band them yourself, you will bleed and likely do something terrible.

Enjoy!

Consult a physician. It is best treated earliest. self medication is only a temporary remedy.

I'm sat in the office virtually in tears of laughter getting some really odd looks. Thank you, please post more.

Good advice succinctly put. I generally get them when i am travelling due to Olympic levels of imbibing and generally not looking after myself, whisk(e)y is the red rag to my particular bull. The suppositories work an absolute treat.

Well my hole doesn't sit open as above. It's an dangler not inny so a suppositories not needed. Vaseline seems to have worked a treat, not the nicest feeling walking around greased up but settled the wipe sting and healing nicely.

Pal of mine had an operation to remedy piles recently, he's 20 stones of a man so as one would imagine he has a fair arse on him. Speaking to him after his ordeal he described him first postoperative bowel movement as like passing Stag antlers first................

Try to avoid any operation if possible, I had the rubber band one, let me tell you it f***** HURT !!!! It felt like his arm was in up to his elbow, once I'd opened up wide he opened it further and I couldn't help but let one rip, I suppose it wasn't the first time for him doing that job.

When it was over I couldn't stand up so I was told to lie down for a while and recover, after a while they had to move me to a side room because there were others waiting, so I had a nurse under each arm supporting me as I was walked past all the other patients waiting to go in

I'm not sure I would have stuck around if I'd been sat there.

Good balanced diet, fruit, veg etc
Never again !!

I had to have a follow up appointment where i was asked to drop my trousers and get on the bench, i refused and that was the end of that.

I have a "friend" that has had an outy for a number of years and he didn't do anything about it. Is likely to go back up if treated with cream, or is it down for good?

One word...Dettol! Yep, Dettol! It's a lifesaver, quells the itching, reduces swelling. Dab onto toilet paper and apply! It' DOESNT hurt! It doesn't sting, and the relief is amazing and longer lasting than creams, I find!
