Anal Discomfort

I am posting this on behalf of my dad who is close to age 60. He has been having Anal Discomfort since November of last year, 2013. He assumed it was hemorrhoids. He has been using cremes, soaking in baths and even changing what he eats. He seems to get the discomfort when he is sitting for long periods of time and has to use a "donut/ring" to sit on. He does not have any pain/discomfort while walking though. He is very active and runs in marathons and has noticed after running he gets a rawness/chaffing feeling. He has had some bleeding a couple times but was very minimal and was not a constant thing. He had 3 weeks in Jan. where he had NO pain or discomfort at all, and now he is noticing the discomfort coming back. Could this be just hemorrhoids? Or something else?

HELP IS AT HAND for your dad.  I'm trying to help as many people as I can with this, no worries, I am not a spam person, just so much to say that it's easier to copy/paste than to rewrite it!

This likely means there is a poor/compromised vein structure (vascular system).  Don't use cortisone creams, after a short period of time, they thin the skin/vein structure even further. Paying attention to nutrition intake gets to the root cause.

Repair what is there and you can not only avoid surgery (no matter how bad it feels, it is SO worth trying) PLUS you will prevent it from ever happening to you again. (AMEN).

TRUST ME when I tell you, don't waste one more second before obtaining a good leg vein essential supplement with the following ingredients (or you can buy the ones not found in a combo, separately, all easy to find on-line):

1) Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids
2) Rutin (sometimes this is in the C)
3) Stone Root (also called Collinsonia Root)
4) Horse Chestnut (standardized)
5) Butcher's Broom
6) Bilberry extract
7) Grapeseed extract
8) Hawthorne berry extract
9) Goto Kola extract

Initially, I was concerned as I have a hayfever allergy but none of these supplements bothered me, check with doc if you're particularly sensitive.

Depending on the severity of your condition, you will notice at least small improvements within a few days (for me, within 3.5 days before small noticeable improvement). DO NOT give up because it's not instantly better, that is not how this works! KEEP ON TAKING THEM daily WITH ORANGE JUICE (unless you are experiencing any discomfort, of course).

Every day after that you will notice steady improvement. Just don't forget to take the supplements daily. Once you are at 100%, (don't stop before 100% happens) if it's hard for you to take daily, keep at least a regular maintenance dose maybe 3x a week or over weekends to prevent further issues.

At the time of this writing, I had used the following which covered all the ingredients listed above:
1) swanson leg vein essentials,
2) solaray vitamin c with bioflavonoid concentrate, rose hips and acerola
3) swanson stone root

But you can find similar with many other vendors.

Important note that you should take to heart. As in my case, if your veins are in this kind of shape, you may have an undiagnosed nutrition absorption issue, so while you're at it, seriously consider taking a good multiple vitamin with minerals (NOT A TABLET that's encased it what might as well be plastic), also activated B-complex and amino acid complete wouldn't hurt, either.  Check with doc or nutritionist if you're concerned and/or sensitive.

Always try to get gel capsules,  the ones with the powder you can see inside of it, in case your stomach does not produce enough acid to break down tablets or caplets (and so you're not spending money and taking tablets that don't break down, for nothing).

Finally, you might consider reading a book called The Mood Cure by Julia Ross, it will help you understand the problem with nutrition today for everyone (even if you think you're eating healthily!). I'm just a regular person who, because of suffering, has done a ton of research and found out what really helps.

In two weeks, if this helped you (and I know it will), PLEASE, please take the time out of your busy schedule to come back and post this info for others in need, to let them know that this worked for you, too!

Have a happy life! :)

Hello,
Your father seems to be having internal hemorrhoids which are painless or may cause bright red blood covering the stool or may stain the clothes. Having a high fiber diet and increasing water intake would also help.  However, if the hemorrhoids are already thrombosed, resulting in bleeding, enlargement, pain, and difficulty in moving the bowels, surgical excision would be the best treatment.  

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
