Hi there,
A little less than a month ago I had a painful bowel movement and experienced significant blood loss. I believe I have internal hemorrhoids and a fissure that isn't healing properly. I haven't seen a doctor since I don't have insurance at the moment.
I've tried prep H and supplemented a lot of fiber, apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil into my diet. For the most part I'm healed but do not have regular bowel movements like I used to. I'm trying to fix my diet and exercise more but I'm losing hope to ever feeling like myself again.
I'm wondering if anyone has inflamed veins around the rectum during the healing process and if this ever goes away? I still find it difficult to insert the prep H tip in and can see a red tears. During bowel movements I feel a scraping sensation inside. Lately also think I've developed a hernia near my pelvis from all the stress it's causing me.
Please share your story and if I should look into vitamin e oil or other options to help the inflamed veins.
