Talk to me about piles

[LosingGrip]

35 years old and my first time dealing with piles. What the fk do i do?

To be fair, I've managed well to go 35 years given I do everything I shouldn't...lots of time on the toilet. Pushing hard. Holding it in until I get home...

I've got some analsol wipes and cream. Anything else that I can do? I'm struggling to get comfy!

Book in at the doctor's or local gum clinic.

You will likely have ongoing issues now.

I feel your pain.

While you're there you could push it back in for him.

Anusol worked fine for me the couple of times I've had them.

How long did it take if you can remember? Admittedly i only used it today for the first time...am I being too hopeful that everything is sorted by the morning?!

Yes.

many years ago when I had a problem (could feel something up there and was painful) the Dr inserted his finger and said it was piles (or haemorrhoids) and told me to buy some Anusol cream and shove some up my bum. A few days later I felt the 'something' burst and a warn trickle of blood confirmed this. Problem over. Never had it since.

Yes.

I get them a lot/constantly. Use anusol and pray for 2 weeks.
Innies are better than outies.
Grade 4 are flipping awful!

Currently suffering for what seems like ages.

Seem to have got them after a prostate examination. Had them a few times before(I’m 53) but they always went away fairly quick before.

Been since mid January it doesn’t feel like they are fully away can’t feel the lump anymore but still suffering from full on itchyness fairly regularly.

Well I could have gone without googling grade four...I think it might be that!

Cock.

Banana once a day, eaten not shoved up your bum.

Gives nice smooth poos

I've got a very disgusting story about why I've not eaten a banana for 20 odd years that involves my younger brother, sick and my fish and chips

Thank you for the mental image

Best you keep it as a family anecdote then.

I’m sorry to say, but from what I can remember, a good couple of weeks until all gone. But, the main pain and discomfort in a few days.

[uknick]

And, without wanting to sound gross, if it’s an outie pushing it back in gave some relief for a short time.

The tricky thing about piles is that it's hard to get to the bottom of the problem.
