Had Constipation. Took Herbal Tea. Having Extreme Hemmroid Pain. Quit Dairy Products?
I recently went to the ER with what I thought was kidney stones. After taking a CAT scan, the doctor said I was just constipated. He gave me some ideas as to what may help in softening the stool, I ended up taking an herbal tea and 3 prunes. It did the trick, However, now I have extreme hemmroid pain. From what I just read, they could be swollen. I am eating a high fiber diet, and one yogurt a day. Should I quit with all dairy products? I'm going thru Prep H like crazy...suggestions?

Hi Thanks for using HCM.
I think it is anal fissure and not haemorrhoids as anal fissure is very painful and is most common with constipation. Haemorrhoids presents with only bleeding with pain only when infected. Get examined and diagnosed by your doctor.
Take Tab. Aceclofenac three times a day for pain and inflammation, Topical Lignocaine gel application before going to toilet, complete bowel evacuation every time. You can take syp. lactulose 10g with plenty of water for softening stool. Plenty of fluids and prefer to take soft food for couple of days then can continue with high fibre diet. If any infection then need to take antibiotic.
Hope i answered all your question. Wish you good health. Take care.
