I'm seeking some advice for a colleague of mine that appears to be suffering from piles (nee heameroids).

How long do they last for ?
Do they go away ?
Whats the cure ?
How many tubes of germoloid cream should you go through in a day ?
Why do they start ?
Could it be anything worse ?

Any help appreciated as hes currently standing at his keyboard.

Tell your 'colleague' that it's not the kind of problem you can sit on and hope it'll go away.

How long is a piece of string (if you say twice the distance from the middle to the end I'm going to internet slap you)
Yeah for a bit but they can/will return
pounding the back doors in of a virgin girl (over 18's only)
you need specail rectal cream
bad diet, sitting on cold stone, straining too much
it could be that anal disease that eats the skin around your arse & no joke that really is fking bad.

How long do they last for ? Do they go away ? They will not go away on their own.
Whats the cure ? If small, the usual creams should do it as they tighten the skin (yes, they can be used to remove wrinkles on your face!)
How many tubes of germoloid cream should you go through in a day ? One should last a month.
Why do they start ? Constipation/straining or just sitting and reading on the bog.
Could it be anything worse ? Worse? Is he passing blood? If it's fresh blood then it's likely to be piles or anal fissures. If it's old blood (darker, not bright red) then he ought to get to a doc ASAP; could be sign of something very bad.

The usual treatment if it's light is cream. If that doesn't work, then the doc can tie a band round it, block the circulation and it'll fall off. If it's quite big, haemmorhoidectomy is your only option. You... sorry... your colleague won't be sitting down for weeks.

My mother had them thanks to me not wanting to come out of her lower regions 36 years ago. Well, it was warm. And the world is a nasty place.

Ah the old farmer's. Lovely.

I got a dose of them thanks to chemo sodding up my insides for a while and they are deeply unpleasant.

You can get suppositories, that you shove up there, which are good and the cream. A packet of each should last one "attack". I used both at the same time and it helped enormously.

Tell "him" to make sure he's keeping properly hydrated and eating enough roughage. That can help keep the things away in the first place.

Piles can be caused something else nasty and if he's really, really suffering, tell him to get down to the GP's.

Spike Milligan was a big sufferer of the bum grape. Over the years he was offered various surgical removal opportunities which he always declined saying "when I die and go to hell, I'm making sure these bloody things come with me"

My thoughts too wink

Get to the doctors, you might be embarrased but they won't be.

Blimey. I feel quite bad for him now.

I'll pass on the good news to him.

I have had the condition for 30 years, but good diet and "regular training" means thay do not get to me very often - no more than once, twice an year. Even riding a bicycle does not fire them up.

Ask the quack to prescribe Proctosedyl ointment/suppositories. The suppositoties are the best and give instant relief. Keep medication in the 'fridge.

Bran flakes. Lots of. Also vegetables. Avoid booze, curry, processed food, dehydration. You should be aiming for an experience on the toilet each morning that reminds you of a seal slipping off a rock into the water. Straining is bad.

When I went and showed the doctor the pea-sized 'lever arch' (that had burst in the night, causing me to wake up with my arse stuck to the sheet by blood) he showed me a 'stool chart'. Top of the pops is a smooth, firm number in mid-brown, lightly knobbled and pleasingly tapered at both ends. If I ever do one like that it's going on the mantlepiece, but that's what you should be aiming for.

The operation is not recommended. I'm told by a doctor that it is one of the most painful procedures - not the op itself, but the recovery. Imagine your hoop healing up slightly, then the healing surfaces being torn apart by the passage of yesterday's breakfast. Again and again. Ouch.

Thanks for all the detailed information - some might say a little too much information - but useful none the less !! thumbup
