I suffered a hemorrhoid injury about 7 years ago while weightlifting and eating a terrible diet. Back then I was consuming lots of whey and casein protein shakes to get ripped while eating tons of bread and other inflammatory things. Needless to say that was long before I found the forum!
Ever since the original injury I have had flare-ups that have more or less managed to go away on their own without much remedy. I think at some point I figured out that using some cream to push the almond sized tissue back into the anus using my finger was helpful but I never really did to much more than that. I was and still am young so I think that is what has previously been my saving grace for healing. Although now with my most recent flare-up being particularly painful and lasting I think it is time to see what else might be a good idea so hence, why I am posting.
I would estimate that my current injury is sized at about an almond and a half (which is soft) and 1 small pea (that is hard). No itching, no bleeding. My first reaction was that I needed surgery due to the prolonged nature of the injury that clearly hasn't healed and has slightly worsened over the years in terms of size. However, from reading the accounts of others here who have seemed to have had much worse injuries (in terms of size, persistence, bleeding, itching) and healed (or managed) without surgery perhaps that is an overreaction.
My current medical maneuvers consist of pushing the affected area back into place using "Dr. Coles Hemorrhoid Formula" (available on amazon) which consists of olive oil, beeswax, horse chestnut, calendula, witch hazel, arnica, butchers broom, feverfew, chickweed, marshmallow root, mullein, uva ursi, yarrow, white willow and vitamin E. That salve seems to be quite effective but I also sometimes use a bit of CBD cream which also seems fairly effective. For wiping I use Preparation-H wet wipes which are available at my local Costco. I've resorted to eating only once a day (keto: grass fed beef, rice, sauerkraut) during the early evening coupled with butter-collagen coffee in the morning. I would eat less if I could but I've already started to lose some weight and I'm already a bit underweight as it is and my job is energetically and physically quite demanding. I take about 5g of vitamin C throughout the day and take 2 tbsp of magnesium citrate in the evening before bed. My stools have been completely normal being neither to soft nor to hard. I wouldn't say that passing stool is to painful at the moment however it always inflames the hemorrhoid. For digestion I've been taking A-F Betafood from Standard Process and Betaine HCL (recommended by my applied kinesiologist who has given me plenty of reasons to trust over the years).
You would think that with all of that the hemorrhoid would go away immediately! Heck, I've even been using the infrared sauna about 5 times a week as well.
The only four things mentioned in the thread that I have yet to try are rest (horizontal rest specifically), stretching, emotional consideration and DMSO.
Horizontal rest, DMSO: easy in theory but difficult because I live an active life however I do have the day off so I think I'll try to spend some time in bed reading some romantic fiction. Should pair well with some DMSO application. I have some of the 70% DMSO 30% Aloe Vera cream which should do the trick I believe. (

Stretching: I know how to stretch and do it sometimes however considering this injury I could definitely use some more focus in this department.
Emotional considering:
PHYSICAL BLOCK
Hemorrhoids are simply the uncomfortable swelling of a blood vessel in the rectum or anus. Constipation and the resulting strain during bowel movements are the primary cause.
EMOTIONAL BLOCK
Hemorrhoids reveal a build-up of emotional pressure caused by stress and fear that you would rather not discuss and show. The result is burdensome. Hemorrhoids may occur if you pressure or force yourself to have more;
perhaps you are enduring a job that you do not like. Since hemorrhoids are located in the rectum (the terminal portion of the large intestine), you are constantly pushing yourself to finish things. Do you ask too much of yourself?
Have you created undue tension trying to have something or someone because of material insecurity and difficulty in making decisions?
MENTAL BLOCK
The more pronounced your inner sense of insecurity, the more you may suffer from hemorrhoids. In order to mitigate this insecurity, you push yourself to do in order to have. When you feel that things are not moving along as quickly as you want, do you burn with impatience? It is essential that you develop a consistent faith in the Universe, an unfailing trust that everything is as it should be and that all of God's children will be provided for. Learn to let go and to express your feelings openly and honestly while acknowledging your fear of material deprivation.
Écoute ton corps - HEMORRHOIDS.
Well assuming that the above link is accurate in terms of mental-physical relationship I would agree that the biggest source of tension in my life right now is that I am quite literally enduring my job that I no longer like and part of the reason being is that the security of my income in the restaurant business is at great risk of being non-existent with the US election drama unfolding. Sooooo yeah... perhaps that might be causing some issues. Thankfully, I did just have a job interview that went quite well with a local organic chicken business so there is hope of a better professional position.
I feel like I've got my remedies in order or can you think of anything I've missed?
I hope can help.
