witch hazel and washing helped hemorrhoids Posted: 12-03-07 09:50am
I have had terrible bleeding hemorrhoids
for years. Almost every time I wiped, the
bleeding started and would not stop.
Recently, the bleeding has been getting
worse and worse, to the point where I have
bled through my clothes! They itch, but
not badly. I went to a doctor who told me
that the surgery was extremely painful and
would not prevent them from recurring, so
he encouraged me to grin and bear it!
The first thing I cut out was wiping.
Every day, I wash my anus with the movable
shower head. I know it is disgusting, but
it is gray water anyhow. That helped
considerably. The next thing I did was
buy witch hazel and cotton balls. I soak
my hemorrhoids 2 to 3 times a day with
witch hazel.
After a month, I can report that the
bleeding has STOPPED! Also, my
hemorrhoids, which were bloated, red and
angry looking have shrunk and are not
longer bloated or red or angry. Oh yes,
they no longer itch!
