How Can hemorrhoid Along With Constipation Be Treated?
I have a hemorrhoid for the first time and it is blocking my ability to go poop. I am 61 years old have MS and I am in a wheelchair. About 5 years ago I had a sigmoid reconstruction(?) when my colon was twisted. The doctor asked me if I had a lot of operations, I said no. He told me nothing is where it should be. I could only get a written account of the operation which was pretty gross because they had to paralyze me because nothing would fit back inside of me. It has been about three weeks since I had any significant bowel movement. I made an appointment for a colonic tomorrow. It is my only choice at this time besides going to the hospital. Twice I had enimas and nothing happened! Not even water came out Do you have any advice? My current doctor says I should have a colonic, the doctor that operated on me says a colonic may have caused it. I weigh about 175 pounds my normal weight is 140 I am 5 10 . Any word would be helpful, this is something so humiliated about these things. Thank you.
I read your query, please don't feel humiliated about asking these things. There are few things which you can do to alleviate hemorrhoids along with constipation. Hemorrhoids and constipation go hand in hand as they are directly proportional to each other.
1) Drink plenty of fluids.
2) Eat plenty of fibrous diets.
3) Work out, sweat and lose excess weight.
4) Avoid excess junk foods, spicy foods.
5) Use sitz bath.
6) Take a stool softener to relieve constipation.
If none of them works for you after all this, its high time to get an appointment with a surgical gastroenterologist who can help you to get rid of it by very simple surgical procedures.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Moses John Wesley,
