Hello,
For hemorrhoids specific treatment is needed for which you have to consult a surgeon. While you fix up appointment with the specialist, you can try a few things. There are hemorrhoidal creams available in the market which you can apply. Sit in a tub of warm water for 10 mins at least twice a day. Increase fiber in your diet. Eat lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, oats, porridge etc.
Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In addition you can try bulk stool softener such as psyllium (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel). Drink plenty of fluids like warm water, soups, lemonade etc. Sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of hemorrhoids and worsens the existing ones. Hence remain active—no need to do anything strenuous, only avoid sitting or standing in a particular position for too long.
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.
dont you have a doctor around?
A hemorroid may have been ruptured from the pressure of eliminating. Because you have diabetes and a heart problem it is very important to have this checked out soon.
Go to the store and buy some wipes (even baby wipes are good), toilet paper is very rough and can cause hemorroids to bleed. Are you drinking enough filtered water and getting enough fiber in your diet? Your prescription drugs may also be slowing up your bowels which can affect the lining of your bowels.
