Hemorrhoids

[prf100]

100% true.

A good friend of my wife's in her early '40s complained to her doctor multiple times about constipation and pain. She even asked for a colonoscopy twice but the doctor said no. And without a doctor, no insurance coverage.

After more than a year of that, she finally became completely blocked and yes, it turned out to be colon cancer. By that time it had spread, and is now pretty much everywhere. She doesn't have long left. They're trying to file a lawsuit before she passes so at least her nieces and nephews can get something.

So most definitely, if you feel that something is wrong, push your doctor as much as you need to because they very clearly do make mistakes.

Would add that if you have a family history of cancer, that bit of info can result in a doctor ordering a colonoscopy in a way that insurance covers (if this is an issue). My siblings got them ordered by doctors and covered by insurance because of my experience (thankfully no issues for them)

I’m so sorry to hear this - had a similar experience with spread… but got amazing results in surgery and treatment at the Clinic.

See a Gastroenterologist- and get a colonoscopy if you haven’t recently (and that’s what the GI guy / gal recommends). I had a big hemorrhoid when I was younger and it turned out to be the result of straining because of a tumor. It took me way too long to figure this out, but fortunately it wasn’t too late.

I don’t mean to raise alarm bells, but seeing a doctor is a good idea here.

Thing is I've never had an issue popping. Never strain or have hard stool.

I don't know what initially caused it. Could be weight lifting. Who knows.

But all the stuff about eating more fiber to soften your stool has never been an issue of mine.

Yea and if I was straining to poop I would be more concerned but that has really never been an issue.

The initial injury, I'm positive, came from some other activity.

I'd almost guarantee it came from lifting. I remember the first it popped up I had just really started weight training about 6 months prior.

Btw colonoscopies are no big deal. It’s half a night of prep (drinking a mixture and pooping a lot), then they give you great sedation drugs during the scope. Easy.

Omg you’re gay

Going to the doctor today. Hop8ng they just order it immediately removed.

It's too big that I can't imagine a scenario where it just subsides at this point without there being some lingering discomfort forever.

Why? He didn't say he would prefer not to be sedated or that there was one time where the sedative was late to work and he felt the scope penetrate his anus right befire he fell asleep and it felt good...

Come on

Yes, I was totally serious

Gay guys really do love prostate exams though. One of the doctors I know told me that they come in dressed in tuxedos and bring flowers and ask for mood music and everything.

Well the guy said the reason it was so big was because it clotted. So, he cut the clot out. That was unpleasant.

But he wasn't allowed to just cut the whole hemorrhoid out. But now its at least back down the normalish size it is when I aggravate it instead of this gigantic bulb I could feel between my cheeks.

Gonna schedule an appointment with a surgeon to get it completely removed.

Best of luck with your butthole. I am a fan of Tucks.

I've had Montezuma's Revenge for the past five days now and needed a place to share. Spent my $74 per diem allowance last Thursday on crackers, Tums, and Gatorade for dinner. And apparently blue Gatorade isn't a thing in Mexico, wtf.

I hope you haven't sharted on your Jorts!

For real this exact thing happened to me in Mexico my last day of my honeymoon... Try to find activated charcoal pills! They are natural and will buy you some time to fly back and get your turd cutter back in order (presumably with antibiotics).

 

[Kouki]

Oh, I'm already back home. It hit me Thursday and I flew back Friday. Strangely it was the worst Saturday and Sunday. Still had problems this morning but a lot better...

I will spare you the details, but really bad things happened three times over the weekend
